You've got to be joking :laugh:

you weren't getting training from Marconi by any chance?

Nope, System Source .... 3rd floor, so I assume Marconi might be the second floor. 4th floor is where the free beer and hooker parties are ... thats a nice lunch break if I do say so myself .. probably why the survey rated the area so high as well.

Where is this place you guys are talking about?

It's right next to the mall. here's the address:

10500 Little Patuxent Pkwy
Columbia, MD , 21044-3585

I was there for Marconi ATM switch training but Marconi only has one floor of the building.

I had to stay the whole week in columbia even though I don't live TOO far away. i work in Reston/Chantilly but live much further away. I didn't care for columbia too much, but I'm from a very small town (~10k people) and don't like the congestion.

I don't live in Columbia but we do go to restaurants up there. Always seems like a safe place to me. I guess everywhere has problems at home point. I'll have to try that sushi place sometime, my wife loves the stuff.

i could take everything you just said and apply it to Baltimore as well... in fact, i just did. my gripe with Columbia, though, is that whereas Baltimore has a wide variety of *privately owned* bars and restaurants to appeal to any taste, Columbia is 95% filled with Subways, Quiznos, Olive Gardens, Outbacks, Paneras, etc, etc. there's no personality to Columbia.

OK, said my piece :beer:

I miss Last Chance in the Oakland Mills village center.

Oh hellz yeah, that place was the shiznit! That was the place that had like 200 kinds of beer on tap right? And they had some kick-azz nachos!

I edited in the "because I fear for my safety" part...yes I was joking. Not joking about wanting to move though. And yes, I know that no part of DC is immune to crime. My coworker lives in Penn Quarter yet her car was stolen (from a private lot) and found 3 weeks later gutted in Anacostia.
