Having grown up in NoVA, I agree with you heartily. Hence the reason I've chosen Boston as my settling place for the forseeable future.
Places in NoVA that are kinda nice: Reston/Herndon, while the epitome of car is king, are actually quite livable and interesting. Also, Arlington/FallsChurch have always had that "skeevy but interesting" quality to them. Falls Church, in particular the area right around The State Theater, actually feels like it has a history. I'd recommend you check it out. Besides, there's a CD Cellar right around there. Always a good place to stop.
