Maybe that was a little harsh for my hometown. Wait, no, people here go to NY for the weekend.  And don't even get me started on all the designer gear I see when I walk the halls.

All right, I guess I am being a little harsh on this town. There are some perks that keep a little music-lover like me happy.

Let me tell you more:

This is where you can do anything and nothing with friends. More commonly known as Rio, this is where I go to see movies. Where I laughed at Adam Sandler in "Bedtime Stories" with my 7 year old cousin, and laughed at "Twilight" in general with my best friend.

Not only does Rio have the best movie theater (2 levels!), there are pretty good food places also. For a not-so-typical pizza, one can go to California Pizza Kitchen. Looking for cheaper but just as satisfying grub? Let me recommend Potbellys. Appealing name? Maybe not, but the sandwhiches and milkshakes are delicious. Or if you're feeling south of the border, try Rio Grande. Or if you're feeling like fish, try Joe's Crab Shack. Or maybe you can just grab an ice cream cone at Maggie Moos and call it a night.

Maybe you're not feeling up to testing a treadmill at Dick's Sporting Goods, let's get our shop on in Target. (2 for 1 tank tops?! I'm there.) Or maybe the milkshake cost you you're last $5. No problem, let's just play hide-and-go-seek. Or try on ridiculous outfits. Or just head over to Barnes and Noble to read for a couple hours or buy an album.

OH HAY FRENS :]

Welcome to Robeks Fruit Smoothies, a very welcomed addition to Cabin John Shopping Center, where a lot of stuff goes down. Right next door to said Robeks is a brilliant restaurant called California Tortilla. I strongly suggest the BBQ Ranch Burrito, no beans no salsa. Not feeling the fruit smoothies? Theres Starbucks across the street, and a Baskin Robbins next to it. Oh heck, theres a CVS and Giant a couple yards more and if you really need it theres a McDonalds in a 3 minute walk. This place has it all, and no matter how many pissed-off looks we have recieved from the manager at Robeks, we love it still. And theres always CVS hide-and-go-seek.

Let's be honest, Potomac isn't for everyone. And when the girls who sit across from you at lunch facebook-stalk you and start taking the same type of photos you take just to make fun of you, life sucks. But as long as Rio and Cabin John are still standing, I know I can get whatever I need or just have a place to hang. You know you want to see what it's all about- wish you were here!
