Metro: December 2007 Archives
Living in Pentagon City is somewhat akin to living in the Barbican, but perhaps with a little more soul. A sea of concrete and high rises - and yet, that is exactly what I was looking for. I know, I'm odd. But I really dig just about everything over here - except possibly the somewhat sketchy walk from the Pentagon City Metro to my apartment building - 2 blocks of industrial park. I know that in all likelyhood there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but it still is kinda creepy. So if I'm heading home late, I usually ride the extra stop to Crystal City. I actually did some calculations using the ruler in Google Earth. From my apartment to Pentagon City it is .39 Miles or 369.51 Smoots. From my apartment to Crystal City is .42 Miles or 400.95 Smoots. So it's essentially a draw - though there is a longer traffic light to wait at when walking to/from Crystal.
The dog has been adapting - he does seem to like it. There's a fenced in doggie-exercise area next to the building - gives him a chance to run around, socialize, etc.
The apartment itself is quite...cozy. And by cozy, I mean small. It's technically 500+ square feel, but probably about 100 sq feet of that is a hallway. A HALLWAY! Oh well, it's a really nice place, has a washer and dryer, and is in a good location (see above).
