Crystal City Sports Pub has agreed to show the game with audio on their big screen TV's on the 3rd floor. If you haven't been to this place, it is worth the trip. It's like ESPNZone without the ridiculous crowds and overpriced drinks. The address is:
529 23rd St. S.
Arlington, VA
HOYA SAXA!

South arlington....boooo!!!!!! For a city made of crystal there is a lack of crystal. Us north alrington people don't go down to south arlington and your crazy connected buildings.
North Arington needs to break off from you guys and become our own county/city. You can keep the cementary and fight off all the Zombies. (I bet those Zombies would be pretty tough too. They are all dead war heros and one Editeded off JFK).

But when I cross the Potomac Ocean to go to the scary land of bars that still allow smoking, I go to South Arlington. If South Arlington gets to keep the Costco, Shoppers, Harris Teeter, and Target you are screwed. |

Bring it on! South Arlington still keeps the Pentagon, and can send out a detachment of the black helicopters to take out every single twentysomething recent college graduate off to Bailey's or on some first date with a lobbyist/defense contractor/GS-11/lawyer/graduate student/director of communications for a nonprofit/Hill staffer at Flat Top.
Remember, South Arlington has a Jaleo!

Oooohh, now this thread has some potential!!
If I'm honest, my heart says DC is better than both places, but as a North Arlingtonian, I gotta' stick by my turf.
Don't make us unlock the Detention Center and send everyone down your way. There's enough MS-13 in South Arlington as it is.
You can also keep your nasty lookin' "strippers" who don't actually strip. There's better lookin' women in Clarendon any night of the week.
And you can keep you Jaleo. That place redefines the term overrated. We've got better Thai food by a mile!
And while -- admittedly and disappointingly -- most of the bars feature outrageously mediocre Dewey Beach bands, we've also got Galaxy Hut and Iota for good music. Nothing of the kind down South.
Pro "Northie" rally at Summers!!!!
(and there's a Bailey's in South Arlington too, by the way).

That's funny. Independent of this Game Watch, I had arranged a little happy hour at Crystal City Sports Pub tonight to celebrate my 33rd birthday. I will be the guy wearing last year's WAG shirt surrounded by beautiful women. Hope to see you all there.

I'm telling you that the Pentagon will have their hands full with the Zombies. Mad war vet zombies, angry at the system from beyond the grave. Good luck with that. Us north arlington-ites will just watch from our Rosslyn skyscrappers while you brains are being sucked out of your skulls.

I'm pretty sure some of the defense systems that are all over every metro station in South Arlington could take your zombies. Also, South Arlington has a Coldstone Creamery. Northern Arlington (specifically Rosslyn) has a McDonalds that was the location of a To Catch a Predator sting operation.

Meh. Cold Stone is everywhere. It's like saying you have an ATM machine. No big deal there. Got one in Ballston.
Besides, we have a Booeymongers. Game, set and match!

South Arlington also has an airport and train station so when North Arlington burns, we can escape. We've got lower rents and the classiest IHOP around (the Ballston one is slummy by comparison).

Yeah, the North v South Arlington debate isn't even close. And this is coming from a guy who grew up in South Arlington and lived there for a year right after Georgetown.
N Arlington: Italian Store Pizza, Big Buns (great burgers), walk over Bridge to Georgetown, Iwo Jima, Fake Clarendon square, 2 movie theaters showing first-run movies, PF Changs
S Arlington: Costco (on the flip side you have to traverse the Costco parking lot), easier commute to DC on the Blue line (because no one wants to live in S Arlington) than the Orange Crush, Crystal City Sports Pub (Bailey's isn't close), Air Force Memorial, Pentagon City (although anything is better than Ballston), Fake Pentagon Row square, 2 movie theaters showing last month's movies (although one does serve beer), Charlie Changs
Okay, maybe it's closer than I thought, but the whole absence of MS-13 does push N Arlington over the top.

You're all nuts. Everyone knows North Arlington and South Arlington are both awful.

You're all nuts. Everyone knows North Arlington and South Arlington are both awful. Sincerely, Cleveland Park I thought you were going to advocate for Planet Lovetron. I will say this, while I was in South Arlington for a year after college. I am now in Chinatown which I would give an edge over anywhere in DC. Does Roy Hibbert shoot three pointers in Cleveland Park? No. How about anywhere in Arlington? No. |

Sincerely, Cleveland Park You have three years until the Uptown gets redeveloped into either an Applebee's or a Starbucks. Then where are ya gonna be, hipster? I live in the part of Fairfax County that has a Wal-Mart. So you're all owned. |
