As some of you know, I'm moving... to the DC area. I'm only bringing 5 of my arcade games (sold the other 8) plus a pachislo and a pachinko and I won't actually have them til we buy a house (looks like apartment living for a little while) so they will probably be in storage for a bit. Do you DC area collectors have a group/club/website? I created a google group in NC for us local collectors (124 members strong) to buy/sell/help each other - just wondering if you have something similar (and if not, let's start one!).

I could also use some advice for my move - school systems, good/bad areas, realtor recommendations, etc if anyone is willing to share.
 
There are actually a number of DC-area collectors who are on KLOV... the "Crabtowne" events have been a way to get a number of people in the region (i.e.: within a 2 hour drive) to get together.

Are you moving to DC, VA suburbs or MD suburbs? I lived in DC proper (Adams-Morgan neighborhood) for many years but am now over on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay now.

Don't know for sure yet. Wife will be working in downtown DC, I'm telecommuting. We're still figuring out where to live. Will prob visit in 2 weeks and get an apartment somewhere near a metro stop. We'll live there for a bit and house shop from there.
 
I'm in Manassas Park, on the VA side of DC. There's quite a few of us around here, though I don't know of any sort of "collector group".

I live in Gaithersburg MD, near Shady Grove, Last stop on the Red Line Metro. I live in a apartment and I have 2 cabs....coinopwarehouse is right down the street from me, so its probably best that I only have an apartment otherwise I would be even poorer.

As far as areas to live in...i would stay away from PG County MD and SE DC unless you like murder.... Hell....even parts of Gaithersburg and Rockville I stay away from....

Welcome to the overpriced area :) haha
