Fairfax

I lived here during my high school years. It has great access to services and is close to Washington DC and it’s great galleries. Otherwise, it’s just an expensive burb which is now a way station on the Beltway. Not really a touristy place at all.

I lived in Farifax most of my life(until I moved to Locust Grove a few years ago) and I love it so much. Especially Springfield! I miss it so much though, all my childhood friends live there. :[ I would give anything to go back&live in Farifax!

i miss my bradzy =(

i cant believe how big this place is, and im from virginia beach, i think its just that everything is shoved into a small space, but its nice

itll end up like detroit is today in about 40 years though

As far as standard of living, Fairfax is good. Raising your kids here, they’ll have great public education. The area is pretty diverse, a long stretch of cultures from Asians to Indians to Eastern Europeans.
That being said, you’d need a pretty good paying job, or work 2 mediocre jobs 60+ hrs a week to be able to live in the decent areas.
The area is filled with government and IT employees.

Can’t say that there is a ‘deep’ history and culture to the place, but Washington DC being 20 minutes away, I’m guessing that could satisfy the yearn.

Greenbrier West Elementary housed some of the cruelest sixth graders in existence. Luckily, I only had to go there for a little over one semester before we moved. A cracked tailbone and many years of self-hatred later, I have finally discovered that the only “cow”ness about me would have been within the word “coward.” You kids ought to be ashamed! Especially you, George, wherever you may be!

Fairfax is great! Fairfax Towne Center is awesome (nice movie theater, and good restaurants.) Awesome bars include: T.T. Reynolds’ and The Auld Shebeen (awesome Irish bar) – Oh and Tippy’s Taco House for the best guacamole EVER!

this is where the parental units and the rest of my fam live…i went to school through 12th grade here. It’s a pretty sweet place

I live in Fairfax Circle which is about 10 minutes from Fairfax Corner (Movie theater, Coastal Flatts, Wegmans area) and it’s awesome. It’s a really busy area with tons of good restaurants. It’s also really close to D.C.

Well, I like it well enougb since I live here. The picture is of the nicest outdoors-y mall around here. And the Cinema De Lux is nice, even if they play the movies I want to see only half the time, and a lot less lately. There’s a Ben and Jerry’s there which is definitely good times. And you HAVE To try Caribou Coffee if you like that kind of thing. Their Campfire Mocha kicks all of the starbucks chocolate coffee drinks all together. Very cool.

There are other things in the city that are nice. Doing the Fairfax Chocolate festival will be on my list shortly.

I live here and love it.
