That is very strange to me. No one should be aware of the existence of Washington--not even the people who live here. Really though, it completely freaks me out knowing that you're familiar with the place. Sometimes it feels like an island, and I'm just Gilligan, sitting in a hammock all day because what else is there to do, you know?
I actually live near the Wal-Mart, but closer to the movie theater than anything else if we're talking about famous Washington landmarks (and boy are they). I don't care much for that part of town because most of it is new and completely soulless. They are always building a new shopping center or subdivision, and in the meantime all of downtown Washington is going out of business (but then again, people keep opening up incredibly stupid shops downtown, like this one place that specializes in frogs). After college, if I move back here, I want to get a small place downtown because I won't have to drive so much, and I couldn't afford a house in the more upscale parts of Washington anyways. I know I'm going to be terribly homesick when I leave. I'm one of those losers who is always miserable on vacations.
