Underrated but over loved

Dear DC, You’ve given me so much. Lifelong friends, a thriving business in a powerful creative community, an adopted hometown, and endless inspiration. You’re often underrated but that’s alright, I selfishly want to keep your hidden gems all to myself. Your restaurants with fresh made pasta, the one with a five course dining experience, and even the dark dive bar that has been around since the dawn of time. They hold so many memories for me. Your balance of greenery, history, architecture, “big city” frel, and culture are truly something to behold. More than all of that, it’s DC locals’ undying motivation to lift each other up and support each other. This is what creates our unwavering sense of community. Stay safe 🤍 xoxo Sam
