Metro Center may be where my wife gets her actual shopping done -- like buying suits for work -- but Georgetown is where she *likes* to go shopping even if she doesn't buy as much. Shopping at Metro Center is functional and practical but as an experience, is nothing particularly unique. But the shopping experience in Georgetown can't be beat -- the historic charm, waterfront, canal, and overall pleasantness makes it totally different than shopping at metro center. Metro Center is a place for seriousness. Georgetown is a place where you feel on vacation.

No, georgetown as a retail corridor or a place to live did not peak in the 1980s. It probably peaked as a commercial office center at that time. Georgetown's retail and residential property was probably the first in the area to get back to pre-crash levels and demand remains as robust as ever.
