Farewell to Lisa Hillary

I've always had a good time when visiting DC, but I know living there may be a different story. The brutal traffic alone would ruin it for me.

DC traffic is really not bad. Downtown, during the morning or evening rush, definitely. But early morning, mid-afternoon and at night time, it's really easy. After about a month or two, you definitely get used to it and drivers in DC aren't nearly as blood thirsty as they are in NYC. I was scared to death of getting hit by cars running lights and turning on no turn signs/signals.

The highway traffic on I-95 and I-495 is different. I still hate the highway traffic. You can be sitting in that mess for hours, especially if there's an accident.

Living in DC is pretty awesome and it definitely depends on the section you live in. We're definitely like a mini "city that doesn't sleep". There's always something to do, there's a great nightlife, museums, free zoo, two amusement parks just an hour or two from the city. There are incredible places to eat (if you're willing to search for them or ask around. JUMBO SLICE!!). People who that think DC is boring either aren't hanging out with the right types of people or just wants all their amusement right at their fingertips.

There's a lot to do here if you're willing to just look around.
