There was a really interesting story on the history of Wade Avenue in the News and Observer a year or two ago. It talked about how the street came to be, and how at the time it was too expensive to grade, so that's why it's so incredibly hilly. If you're interested, you may be able to find it on the N&O's website.

Which is cheaper: Alexandria or Baltimore? And which would be quicker to get to DC via the metrorail?

I am toying with the idea of relocating to the DC area for career reasons in a year or two. I am from NC, and have never really lived in a big city. I guess I'd live someplace in MD or VA. How much does an apartment run in a halfway decent area in these cities? And how is commuting? What is the cost, and how long does it take? Do you all like the area? I really don't know much about it.

I LOVE that Duplin Wineries Scoppernog wine.
