I'm trying to remember where that IKEA is, it's been a while (and might've been built after I left), but when I was in high school my part-time job involved driving past NASA Goddard Space Flight Center which was on Soil Conservation Road, the entire rest of which belonged to the Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Conservation, and was just fields (and animals) forever.
It's also possible, given I went to religious K-12 (two different branches of religion) that it was simply Not The Done Thing for my crowd and it would've been different had I gone to, say, Sidwell Friends. But I'd believe that DC itself has a different vibe than the suburbs; Chicago's like that.
I wonder if it's like, med school/residency or it's the same kind of thing you get in criminal and family law, which are the two branches where you really get more insight than anyone is probably equipped to handle into exactly how horrible people can be to each other.
