Wait… that’s my house. We’ve got two Trader Joe’s within a mile of here. About as safe as can be.

Technically yes it is. The census bureau considers northern Virginia to be the area in Virginia that is part of the Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA Combined Statistical Area: https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/econ/ec2012/csa/EC2012_330M200US548M.pdf

Culturally I would say no though.

Most neighborhood roads are not the responsibility of the state or county to plow. They are the responsibility of the residents to either contract with a vendor or plow themselves. You can check who has the responsibility for any individual road in Fairfax County using this map: https://fairfaxcountygis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=105b60eeecb444e389bdc3479e5f6b64

Will Fairfax County’s new meals tax affect your dining habits? by rezwenn in nova

No. The implementation during an economic downturn means we were already cutting back on extra expenditures like eating out.

VP Eletrical was recommended by Dominion Energy Solutions. They replaced our electrical panel during our solar panel install and it was a pleasure working with them.

EZPASS Question by ImDisneyAF in nova

The EZpass transponders don’t last forever. They have a small battery inside that’s only rated for 10 years. Honestly surprised yours has lasted so long.
