Oh yeah, I don't mean to diss Philly at all, I'm just reacting against 
the immediate and curt dismissal of DC.  Mostly because I dismissed DC 
myself for a long time (basically until circumstances actually moved me 
here), and only now do I realize the mistake that was, given everything 
that's down here.
