What’s the Message, Washington?
I find every ambitious town sends you a message. New York tells you “you should make more money.” LA tells you “you should be better looking.” Rome tells you “you should dress better.” London tells you “you should be hipper.” The Bay Area tells you “you should live better.” And Cambridge tells you “you should read some of those books you’ve been meaning to.”
What does Washington, DC tell you?
The first thing that came to my mind is: “you should get more powerful friends.” What are you hearing?

DC tells me I should really be reading more news and drinking more alcohol.

I thought the DC message was: “Where am I going to hide all of this cash?”

“You should do it if you think you won’t get caught.” - Washington D.C.

D.C.’s telling you, “You are important. You are really, really important.” At least until a bird craps on your head.

I think the message from most towns not listed is, “You should move.”

You only pretend to be happy here until a chance to move closer to Manhattan presents itself.

Oh, that was for Clinton Hill, Brooklyn by the way.

“Bear with me; this’ll look good on your resume one day.”

“Stay very, very far away from here.”

to me, DC says “consider getting out before the next terrorist attack”
sad, but true
