Just out of curiosity, what type do you believe these to be?

I've recently been here, here, here (and it pained me to be in the suburbs), here, here (although not really my sort of place, it's got a nice roof bar above a theater), and go here and here regularly.

I knew that was bullshit. I was just letting Adder hang himself. But I also call bullshit on the "designed for commuters" from the article. It seems to me it was first designed for tourists. The original stops were very much non-residential. Green line was by far the most needed commuter line and it came last.

the kind of club where super hot women go, and where the men are smart and know what they want, and what they want is to pay too much for watered down drinks.

It's like you don't know me at all, man.

Bitch, please. Georgetown is west and north of Foggy Bottom. Rosslyn is west and south. It might make sense to put a station at the Watergate, if it weren't a couple of blocks from the Foggy Bottom station, but you wouldn't tell anyone that the Watergate is in Georgetown.

And with good reason!

First designed for tourists, because they had to get Congress to appropriate the funds, but designed for commuters from VA and MD rather to get people around within DC.

This was too long to hold my interest, but probably should be read by anyone who thinks that uncertainty about Obama's socialist spending, taxes and regulation are the source of are economic woes.

but in a vacuum a station on M near the upper end of the shopping/bar district would make sense.

Euro-style pubs, reasonably authentic, and packed with hot chicks who all end up being married, gay, generally unapproachable, too young for you, or some combination of the above.

If anyone is pondering, and you know DC, far and away my favorite place there was the Saloon.

So, basically, no. Few women at all.

Although a friend and I did stop by a nearby wine bar from time to time after figuring out that it was packed with women, so I guess that's closer to your image.

a place where everyone has to talk, even those with nothing to say? Monday I was at the moth with a story that would have made me the first Detroit/NY winner, if I only got called. Motherfuckers volunteered and were called that had no story whatsoever. One short dicked punk told the story of his man crush chasing Bruce Springsteen around when he was still playing bars. Do you understand I put several hours into preparing and didn't get called because of half wits being encouraged to talk when they should STFU and listen?

No one has ever been kicked out of the Saloon for sitting quietly with their beer.
