Haha, no. But the show looks (again) like it may come to DC. Seems like every few years there is a rumor that the "reality" show--which had been around for 21(!) seasons-- will make it's way to the nation's capital. Who knows if we'll get the gig. Maybe we'll lose out to Real World Louisville, or Real World Boise this time around.Who wouldn't want to have a chance to live with the likes of Tami "it wasn't not funny" Roman, Eric "the Grind" Nies, or Mike "yes, The Miz is his wrestling name" Mizanin. If the show does make it to DC I've got my money on Adams Morgan as the location. But what would the show look like? Hmmmm...
Real World Mount Pleasant: Shenanigans ensue when the seven strangers realize that because of the economy they're living in the basement of a group house already occupied by seven other strangers, all interns.
Real World Columbia Heights: Savvy housemate vows to get involved with the community by starting online petition against gentrification; from the roof deck of the Kenyon Square Condos, where the Real World DC loft is located.
Real World Georgetown: Only on the final episode is it revealed to the roommates that Georgetown is actually part of DC and not its own, supremely dignified, sovereign city.
Real World Petworth: The southern belle from Atlanta goes bananas on the first episode to voice her displeasure at having to live only a block away from Sherman Circle.
Real World Van Ness: Nothing happens. Nothing. Really.
Real World Dupont: Latent racist and homophobic cast member from the Midwest slowly learns to treat others with dignity and respect after an incident in which ...yada yada yada... repeat any episode from any of the previous 21 seasons of the Real World.
Real World Brookland: Cast members settle down to start that family, never leave DC, buy an SUV and a lawnmower.
Real World Capitol Hill: Angry Hill neighbors TP the Real World house in protest of MTV's garish paint job of the circa 1890 building.
Real World Adams Morgan: House meeting called on the first episode after innocent newcomer's mind blown that Wednesday night = start of the weekend and that pizza slices can be bigger than your head.
Real World Foggy Bottom: Entire cast, all 21 and under, mixes in with GWU students, never to be seen again.
Oh we could go on and on. Feel free to get creative and add some more in the comments.

Haha, nice.
Hey, I resemble that remark.
We in Brookland drive various energy efficient cars like hybrids and such, only the CUA students drive the big SUVs.
Also we use push or electric mowers and have awesome gardens when they are not covered by big piles of dirt. ;-P
I think you mean "garish" not "gregarious".
indeed. makes much more sense now.
Real World Alexandria: Cast members' business idea to shake up this stodgy quaint little town is thwarted when someone informs them that a sex shop was already opened in the heart of Old Town last year. In protest, the cast members move to Annapolis and start again.
Once again, a discussion of D.C. neighborhoods omits an entire quadrant.
True. Southeast, Northeast and Northwest were mentioned. But no mention of Southwest??
The first draft had Southwest in place of Van Ness. But I do love Arena Stage and the waterfront, so it didn't seem fair. Not that I was shooting for fairness.
Next time I'll seek for quadrant equality.
Real World South West: Cast turns to cannibalism after not being able to stand the barren isolation that is their neighborhood between baseball seasons.
you made me LOL at work.
Real World H St: Wannabe foodies and aspiring hipsters complain about all the gentrifiers in the neighborhood. Frequent guest appearances by Joe Englert.
Real World U St: Four housemates form a decent post-punk avant-garde band. MTV exec's head explodes when he realizes that he's producing a Music Television show that's (kind of) about music.
Hill Rat's isn't bad, but here's the real
Real World H Street: The housemates actually work for Joe Englert, being tasked with opening a bar that offers bumper cars and Laotian cuisine. Hipsters and gentrification still figure prominently.
Real World SW: Housemates leave builidng for the day, only to discover it has been torn down when they return. Move to MD and wait 4 years for a new, similarly generic building to be built.
Oh dear, Real World in Petworth?
As boring as Van Ness, plus some gunshots!
Real World: Bethesda
Seven strangers, picked exclusively for their doucheness, tell their parents they actually live in DC.
Real World Woodley Park:
7 strangers live in a circa 1890 rowhouse spending their summer dodging all Zooples and their strollers on Connecticut. They quickly find out that for good food and service (excl. Chipotle which is always excellent)they must venture out to surrounding neighborhoods.
Real World Takoma Park:
Seven strangers move into a historic bungalow with peeling pastel paint on the outside, completely decorated from Restoration Hardware on the inside. They start a business growing organic hemp and weaving it into customized Prius seatcovers to sell at the farmer's market. At night they let loose by frolicking in the fountain on Ellsworth in Silver Spring after a crazy night of drinking at the Red Lobster.
Ummm where were the Southeast neighborhoods as well as the rest of NE again??? Certainly Capitol Hill doesn't really count as SE...in a city where about 90% of its residents are African-American few such communities were mentioned. Sure okay Petworth and H St...are there others..no not referring exclusively to the crime ridden ones either.
NW is not the only quadrant in the District.
Seven strangers find themselves at the center of a neighborhood spectacle as a crowd gathers and gawks. Someone shouts, "What is this 'Real World'? Are you from outside the Beltway?"

Brookland was mentioned...too
Real World Cleveland Park: 7 strangers find themselves in Starbucks-less neighborhood. Cast members join self righteous neighborhood liberals in preferring closed storefronts to new coffee shop because of traffic and parking fear. Slaps fly and tears ensue when lone cast member urges the destruction of access road and is kicked out of house.
:D nice blog dudes!
