Yes.

Clarendon is definitely a place for the younger set and for the newly married who are child free!
The stroller count along Clarendon Blvd and Wilson Blvd between Clarendon and Rossyln has risen greatly in the past several years. I've even been seeing some those giant pram type strollers that I so frequently encounter in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. Ten years ago, that would not have been in the picture there.
