8. My Wife used to work at Studio Theatre in the mid 90's
and I did shows at Source Theatre.

I've seen that neighborhood go way way way crazy......

Sheeit, even Silver Spring's getting expensive.

9. beyond my understanding - I really can't conceive of spending that much -
although those prices seem fairly common in large cities, or on either coast.


Enjoy your home.

10. I would have said "a Californian", but
the Maryland flag avatar says otherwise.

A high-powered "Beltway bandit" consultant, perhaps? :-)

13. Wealthier than me.
Congrats on the new home! Still in MC?

NPO gave its season opener this weekend. It's the first time we've done a double performance. Sunday was amzingly well-attended, considering the gorgeous weather and the fact that this is something new.

16. A Big Fibber........
Sorry, but all the other amounts were taken.........although $1.7 million isn't all that unusual for a house around here, we ain't that extravagant. Unless you're living in the city, I don't think most folks around here would want to have neighbors with $1.7 million houses......

17. Did that come from the Coldwell Banker insert in the WP?
I have to laugh every time I see the thing.

18. that makes you at least $1,700,000 richer than me
We are currently looking for a house for about $170,000 here in Northern California. That is all we can afford.

23. Historically, no.
Those guys are much harder to catch. It's the low-hanging fruit
that gets picked first, you know!
