Of the Rev Dr Martin Luther King. Dreams that never happened because Chicago, Baltimore, Richmond, Detroit, LA, DC, Philly so many cites have been under firm Democrat rule since he died and all have fallen long ago in despair. No hope at all for blacks with votes for Democrats, its been proven beyond a doubt for over 50 years.

Poplar Tree Rd was originally supposed to extend under Rt. 28 and meet up with Westfields Blvd. at the shopping center. That's why there is a Poplar Tree Rd. on the other side of 28. The project was abandoned back in the early 2000s and the road has been sitting there ever since. However, there is talk of the project being revitalized with the Rt. 28 expansion project expected to start in the next few years.

Popular Tree did cross Rt. 28, back when it was a dirt road. When they expanded Rt. 28 they terminated Popular Tree on the East side and let it go back to woods on the West side. A lot of the roads in Western Fairfax County
were dirt roads into the 70's. Many in Loudoun were dirt well into the 90's.

Looking at Google Maps, I don't see any Poplar Tree Rd west of 28. Got a link that shows it?

Reminds me of Thompson Rd., which comes and goes through Franklin Farm, especially around the Parkway.
