“You should pay a visit to NoVa. In that area it is “Recession what recession”.”
There is only one corridor, I-95 and two cities, Manhattan NY and Washington DC.

DC is booming. Rents and real estate are sky high, and old extremely iffy neighborhoods are gentrifying overnight. Very large gay community too.
