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!
