Are you old enough to remember back when there were still sections of Beulah that were dirt roads and still not paved yet?

Was that as recently as the 1990s or was it back in the 1980s?

Dad.
The chain I work for wants to promote me to a GM but that means I will have to work the day shift and I am not sure I want to do that.
Sure I will get paid more but it is a lot more stress.

I started driving Beulah in '86 and I don't remember parts of it being dirt.
It was considered the boon docks, in fact me and my high school buddies used to go sit at the 7-11 there and ask for people to buy beer for us, because of the 'large' amount of good 'ol boys on Beulah

I remember a girl riding her horse in front of Edison High school, late 80's.

Yes, I remember unpaved stretches as of the late 70s, but it was hardly anything surprising back then. Civilization more or less ended at the Beltway at the time. Anything was possible out in the backwater sticks and boonies.

Not only Beulah but Lawyers too. And Meadow Lark gardens was a farm where we would drive back into the fields and have parties and skinny dip in the ponds. Ahh the good old days. This would have been the early to mid 70s.

Beulah in Vienna or near Belvoir and Kingstowne?
Could be both, especially considering Kingstowne didn't get really going until a little while ago...

The Rise and Fall of the Pits

They started developing the gravel pits east of Beulah in the early eighties. Kingstowne, the Parkway and Carpetbagger housing was built on a vast wasteland that was once used to quarry rock for Washington.
For years afterwards, the pits were used for the disposal of bodies, toxic waste and whatever else shouldn't be found.
Still the pits tho.

Ain't that the truth. The boondocks, as we called it. Oh where did all the good places go? Always looking for a place to swim and party on the hot summer nights. Gone to townhouses, apartments and housing developments. What do the young people do now-a-days?
