i live in columbia heights, which has some of the cheapest rent in north west dc. but that isnt really saying much, my room mate and i pay 1200 for a 2 br apt. Its about 700 square feet and my bed touches 3 sides of my room. Its pretty darn tiny.
real estate prices are getting supper crazy around here, so keep an eye out. If you need an room you can have mine for 2 months in June, ill be movin out early
as for cheap beer, DCs not too good for that either
im probably not the one to talk about this with, im pretty bitter when it comes to dc...
...thats why im moving to Philly in june
