Last Christmas I ventured (via China Town Bus) to New York City, a town that some consider to be the greatest city in the world.
A wise woman once said, "They say life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. But sometimes in New York, life is what happens when you're waiting for a table." Carrie Bradshaw, not a real person, but a fountain of wisdom just the same.
SJP's alter ego makes a great point. Things just seem to move faster when you're in New York. Whether you're waiting on a table, a cab or the next sample sale, life seems to pass you by while you wait for little things to happen. And this is why I believe that Washington, DC could surpass The Big Apple as the greatest city in the world.
Here me out.
People from all walks of life come to this town to witness and be a part of history. In this town, you can take a glimpse at our past while witnessing first hand the making of our future. There's no doubting that DC is a special place.
Big things are happening here. The Obama's have set up shop in the White House....Seven strangers have landed in DuPont Circle (S & 20th...happy hunting)...and some 'Real' Housewives will soon be hand selected to represent our town on Bravo.
Let's not forget that while our economy is being restructured and our nation is on the cusp of achieving a major milestone in civil rights, all eyes are pointed on us.
So I've committed to getting to know this town, and myself, a little bit better. I may have started my journey back in Baltimore, MD but I'm a Washingtonian at heart. And after earning a degree in the worst financial crisis of my lifetime, I've got nothing but time! (joking...sort of...)
Stay tuned...
