      @@ewgrossnotveryepic7208 the funny thing is, I don't like their coffee but I have an effectively bottomless account there since I get Starbucks gift cards every month at work. I am still searching for a coffee there I like. The doppio espresso is ok at best.

    Remy, you're hilarious. I remember when I saw this in 2009 while living in DC and I thought it was funny then, but now I actually live in Arlington and my old apartment is in this video, it's 10x more funny now. You're a genius. I have to say, the response to "we could take the green line" is quite possibly one of the most clever things about it. well done man. Someone posted your Dog Money video on Linkedin today and I was like "hey, i know that guY!" good to see you still making content out here. You should consider creating it there... lots of eyeballs to be had... if a schmuck like me can get 10m views / year, you can get 100

Most of Arlington isn't has "ghetto" as the video makes it seem.

      No lie there. Super expensive . . . . that's why I finally pulled the plug this past April, after decades in the county.

      It's not much to know. It's a really plain, really affluent inner suburb of DC. You could make a similar video about a few dozen other places throughout the US.

    God I love being from here
    Though 3:37 The loss of Carpool for the new apartment building a few years ago makes me sad :(
    Also the new mall build is doesn’t feel as nice. All the businesses left, save for the food court.
