Moving out is the best thing ever, let me tell you. Very cathardic and liberating. ^___^
1. Washington DC
2. & 3. Climate's reasonable. We had some really hot days this summer, but it was on par with the rest of the country, so the summers are hot but tolerable. ^^;; Winters are milder, more rain than snow. Definitely not four feet of white stuff overnight. And it's funny to watch everyone freak out when there are three inches on the ground. XD
4. When there are hurricanes coming up the east coast, we get some of the leftovers.
5. We do have public transportation! *__* The Metro trains are pretty reliable during the week, slower on the weekends and the buses are on time 75% of the time. Everything's pretty clean, and it's easy as pie once you get used to it.
6. You can't go anywhere without seeing an important building. My ride to work takes me past the Capitol Building and the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. There is an atmosphere in DC that I've never found anywhere else I've lived. And because of the unwritten "no buildings higher than the Capitol" rule, the skyline is lower and you can see the sky. It has a feeling of having wide open space.
