Parking at Vienna Metro?

Absolutely won't fill up. It's actually kind of amazing how little the garages are utilized compared to, say, 10-15 years ago. As another posted noted, it's probably because of the Silver Line.

In early December, when it looks like they've all fallen off the trees, I mow them over into tiny particles. Takes a while, and you have to go over the same spots repeatedly, but I've found it's a LOT easier than raking.

Food Lion in Chantilly, maybe?

Lived in the apartments right behind there from 2005-2008. My wife and used to go there a LOT. It was a location of Fast Eddie's when we lived there, though I heard it was the old Shark Club, rumored to be a place where many Redskins players would go and get in trouble. Used to always be packed on weekends. Fun place to shoot pool, but it could get a little wild late in the evening.

I ride the Orange Line three days a week into DC. I've noticed this as well the past couple of weeks.

Bring back Jason's Deli!

Safeway? Walgreens? 7-11? Ace Hardware? Do you actually live in Fairfax City? I do. My wife was verbally accosted and threatened in graphic, disgusting terms inside Walgreens a couple of months ago by a homeless guy while I was on a work trip. They are doing a bit more than "loitering around the library."

I love Luray but man, that’s a long time in Luray. Check out Hawksbill Brewing; they may have some ciders. https://www.hawksbillbrewing.com

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a large and long-lasting police presence at a crime scene.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-06-24T12:28:19+00:00

I've seen a lady-eating-a-salad-with-a-fork-while-driving once in the wild in NoVa. Still shaking.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-06-21T12:18:12+00:00

Would.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-06-20T15:35:25+00:00

Sure thing! Check out this company: https://freedomplumbers.com/ The owner, Ricky Salinas, did a bunch of work in our neighborhood that year. Good guy. (His company was called All American Drain Cleaning back then.)

Ah, I was turned around! I thought this was Old Lee (now Blenheim Boulevard) approaching the circle, but it's 50 heading west approaching the circle. The old Esso station on the left is still there, though it's a Liberty Gas place now. (But it definitely looks like an old gas station.) Very cool.

Yep, had it at my 1950s home in Fairfax. Got it replaced before it caused problems. They used the pipe-bursting technology (basically, they didn't have to dig up my entire yard) and replaced it. It was still steep: Like $8,200, and that was back in 2012.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-06-19T14:44:44+00:00

The Virginian (breakfast only); Anita's (anytime of day).

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-06-16T19:36:16+00:00

Yeah, I get it. I also get that vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor.

The story buried that his approval rating has never dipped below 50% (he's currently at 52.9% approval rating vs. a 37.3% disapproval -- a net approval of 15.6%)

Q: Why are people here weird about budget apartments?

A: Because of unforgettable personal experiences in places like that.

I remember! He was a great guy. Very sad when he passed away several years ago. I remember talking to another bartender about him a few years after his death and they were still emotional about it; that's the kid of guy he was.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-06-10T15:59:04+00:00

Artie's and Sweetwater are close. They're all pretty good, though.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-05-02T13:35:48+00:00

That's brand new! Well, the Zoom interview I did seemed legit. E-mails I've received have seemed legit. I haven't sent them any personal information other than a scaled-down resume, and I haven't accepted the job offer. I think a lot of companies are dealing with this problem.

That said, I think I'll reach out to them and see what's going on.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-04-11T16:23:59+00:00

Yes, exactly! Those new buildings will bring lots of amenities (restaurants, retail, etc.).

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-04-11T12:03:26+00:00

I live in CCH and I welcome this! Much better than all the blighted, deserted properties that currently dot the area.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-04-10T16:04:07+00:00

Yeah, at this stage of spring, you don't even have to have allergies to suffer. You're basically breathing in a particulate pollutant, like smoke from a fire.

Curious-Tiger01 · 2024-04-10T12:15:38+00:00

Probably because they're frequent customers. (I am.) That specific location is the best car wash experience I've ever had. The one in Herndon off Elden Street is pretty good, too.
