I’ve lived in DC for almost four years, which may not seem like that long but–considering DC’s transient population–it’s sort of like dog years. I’ve fallen in love with the city and discovered many of its ins and outs. My goal with this blog is to give new residents information that I wish I had gotten when I moved here. And hopefully I can provide info that is helpful to established residents as well.

I’m an incoming freshman at a DC school next year and (having nothing better to do) read through all your posts. Let me say, I’m now really freaking excited about living in the district for the next four years! I’ll be following this blog for sure, so keep the posts coming!
Joseph,
Thank you so much! You’re going to have such a wonderful time here. Make sure to get out and explore!

I’ve lived here for 7 years (four in college at UMD) and now three as professional in the city, but I still love your blog and learning all about the fun stuff in DC I’ve ever tried.
Thanks Jess! I really appreciate the feedback and I’m glad you find the blog helpful!
This is a great blog! I will be moving to DC in about a month and tips and tricks you discuss are great! I will definitely be following this blog!
