did you know that D.C. has not one, not two, but three upscale lifestyle magazines launching in the next several months? already on the scene for several years is washingtonian, which caters to upper-middle classes suburbanites.
i'm all for recasting the perception of D.C. as a style-free town, but this is getting a little bit ridiculous. what's even stupider is that i believe at least one of the upcoming publications (can't remember which) doesn't even plan to be based in the district - they'll be editorializing on what's hip in the city from PENNSYLVANIA.

Blogs are the future anyway.
Well, while I think it's ridiculous to base a geographically specific publication outside that geographical area... Did you have to put Pennsylvania in all capitals as if nothing's hip in Pennsylvania? We do have cities here, you know. And arts, and culture. And a lot more uppity people than I'd rather actually. haha.
i didn't mean to imply that PA sucks - just that it's RIDICULOUS to try to keep people informed on a scene from hundreds of miles away. what are they thinking?
Let's not go crazy now... both York and Gettysburg are less than a hundred miles from downtown DC. Hell- people probably commute that far anyway.
okay, not hundreds of miles, but would you trust a magazine written about san francisco by people living, er, whatever is 100 miles away from the city? like, what's the point?
i mean the point is that if you want to cast yourself as an authority on all that is hip and stylish in d.c., you cannot really do it from anywhere else than d.c. otherwise you've got no credibility.
