Real World D.C = Disgrace

Okay, so I got suckered in and watched the first episode of Real World DC. Man was that bad. I have to say as a D.C. resident, this show was anything but D.C. I have to agree with many of the comments on DCist. The cast never made it more than 2 blocks from the house (did they really choose Buca to eat dinner?!) and the shots of D.C. were anything but accurate.

The house is not that impressive and the cast members are extremely annoying. I am curious to see what their "jobs" are going to be and where else they will hang out. Overall - this looks like it is going to be a very boring show without many REAL D.C. experiences.

Stay tuned.

What's Your WalkScore?

As an avid walker in this capital city, I am constantly assessing the walkability of different neighborhoods in Washington. In fact, walkability will be a major consideration whenever I decide to buy real estate. So, when I stumbled upon this website called Walk Score, I was thrilled. I immediately plugged in my address in Subarubia and awaited the results. I was a little shocked to see a score of a B - (83 out of 100). 

I quickly chose another neighborhood where I hang out - Laptopia - and entered an address. Of course, that one came up with a higher score of an A + (97 out of 100). What shocked me was when I entered an address in Los Angeles, that came up with a higher walk score than where I lived. I concluded, the database must be flawed. How can LA have a high walk score than DC?

Okay, I am off to take a walk before calling it a night.
