Next assignment: D.C., L.A., or Chicago: Where would you live?

Whenever I go to Georgetown, which is not often since the Rhino Bar closed , I take the Metro to Rosslyn and walk over the Key Bridge. It's a really nice stroll and you miss most of the traffic debacles.

 

Strictly on the merits of the locations, I would have said LA/Long Beach. But if you've got a chance at something that prestigious, you can't pass up Georgetown (and DePaul would be a clearly better fallback to CSU-LB).

 

General Motors

 

Good guess. Keep trying. Think uniforms.

 

Merchant marine?

 

ATF?
DEA?

 

I live in Rosslyn -- I'm looking at the Georgetown cathedral spires right now -- and it is a nice stroll, both to Georgetown for whatever and in my case, Foggy Bottom for work.

And there may be no Metro stop, but perhaps a gondola to come? Officials Consider Making A Go Of A Georgetown-Rosslyn Gondola

 

If you choose D.C. and love Korean food ... Ping Pong.

Ping Pong

 

Goddamn straight it us.

But don't dare call it Fullerton State ... Cal State Fullerton.

 

Got me thinking about a few random items.
- Long Beach really isn't LA and LB Airport is not LAX
- Leon Burns was a stud
- How come The Poindexter brothers are not in the LBS Hall of Fame?

 

Well, I guess I don't impress that easily. I'm not that into all the actors/actresses, although they are all notable people. Still, I'm not sure they make the city notable, and I think I'm on point in my description/sense of it.

Do you like Long Beach? If so, why? I could probably think of 20 cities in Southern California I'd rather go to, especially for any length of time, before I came up with Long Beach.
