Bailey's Crossroads

So I get the fact that there are crossing roads there. But why the name Bailey? Was there an old bailey there maybe back in the French and Indian war times?

Or maybe a farmer or shopkeeper named Bailey lived with his family there?

Strange name for a crossing of roads. If anyone knows, please write back.

But everyone does that. Why name a town for him? Was he a trapper or maybe a shopkeeper? Did he run a big cornflour mill or perhaps an eel farm?

The winter home of Barnum and Baileys circus was located there at the intersection of two trade routes. The land was purchased by the circus in 1837. In later years the company purchased land on Bull Run Mountain with several homes for their employees to live in during the off season.

The name comes from William Bailey, who was famous for shooting his slaves when he was bored. In 1807, he opened the first aquarium in Fairfax, but it failed because instead of fish, sea creatures, or even water, he displayed piles of dead slaves he had shot. Not much else is known about him, except for the fact that he was the first person in that area to put up signs in English and Spanish, a wacky tradition which is still observed to this day. He once got a blowie off of James Barcroft while high on opium.

Columbia Pike having a similar name to Albert Pike is nothing more than a coincidence. It’s actually named after Pike Place Market in Seattle, known for its Columbian coffee. The road got its name in 1996 after being sponsored by Starbucks, and was known before then as ‘Route 66’. This name had caused confusion for many years as tourists would visit, thinking it was the famed road from out west, not realizing that the highlight of it was the ability to get to Chicken Pollo faster. Locally, the road was known as the site of a major accident where a wagon taking 35 slaves to auction tipped over, killing all. That was in 1984.

Gerrymanderer2 (G2, the OP original poster or spammer just above, perhaps both) posts several lies on ffu daily - many think he's a fx co gov worker who is getting paid to do it for false DNC democrat "advertising". He floods ffu with useless posts to bump down major news, demoralize americans. G2 posts fecal matter, mutilated bodies, child porn, foreign drug ads and sneaker ads, tells people to kill themselves and government should seize them and put them on psych pills in prison without a trial - decided by DNC democrats gov workers, promotes kangaroo courthouse trials, gives anti-religious rants, gives satanic ritual rants, posts black males with large dicks on white young females, portends white low birth rate and fall of USA whites, suggestive of food tampering/poisoning to solve the white problem, and anything possible to demoralize any americans on ffu - all of which are fake news he never responds to proofs it is fake. (perhaps g2 is a chinese prisoner or isis member - but definitely knowledgeable of fx co gov from the inside at times). The website operator has told him "not to post or return" (in an existing post by the sysop): not because of a political leaning but for continual illegal and gross spam along with messages that are only to demoralize if not kill others. G2 plays at financial terrorism as well; continually reporting fake and false financial data. G2 fakes emergency pleas to deaden the real response to any real one - like a devil. G2 continually spams FFU - which all users complain of: it is a real DoS attack - the attacks are not just topic bumps but designed to inject key words to kill ffu and google search results. G2 continually promotes drug use, alcoholic experimentation, and tries to convince members to meet hookers using photos from the 1990's (i doubt any that did are not arrested or dead). G2 continually posts racist posts and gay posts egging others to comment - then attacks who does - AND RECORDS IT (likely for political extortion). G2 and dems MONITOR AND RECORD* "conservatives who blast out these democrat lies and illegal abuse of telephone privilege (sometimes in a raw manner, being so jaded by the job)" (users who object to G2's actions listed so far). One ffu member discovered a south american country recording FFU databasing all posts in a non-chat database format - and when questioned - another member quickly said it was all coincidence and that this was done everywhere in the world on all sites: WHICH IS A LIE. Not all countries record the every word of what fairfaxians say on blogs. Extortion is also mentioned by G2. And the idea he's fishing for comments he can use against anyone who'd run for office is "just assume he's in that business" - and i've warned others that is what he fishes for - excuses to attack conservatives and or to extort them.

SOME POSTERS ON FFU FEEL G2 IS A JOKER: I ASSURE YOU THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS ARE GENUINELY A THREAT TO ONLOOKERS (THE UN-INTIATED), NON-DEMOCRATS, AND TO ANYONE STATING THAT LAWS SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON DEMOCRATS EQUALLY AS DEMOCRATS IMPOSE THEM ON OTHERS: MONEY

LEGAL NOTICE: DEMOCRATS HAVE `SWATTED' THE HOMES OF SOME FFU POSTS WHO REFUTE G2 AND CALL DEMS OUT ON THEFT AND LIES - AND EXPOSE THE LAWS THEY COULD BE PROSECUTED FOR BREACH OF TRUST. THAT'S A CONFIRMED WITNESSED FACT. IT IS NO JOKE WHAT G2 IS DOING. HIS CONTINUAL FISHING IS NOT IDLE - THEY ARE TRIGGERED AND ARMED. which i've warned others about since, about 2010 - that G2 is fishing for men to "erase" politically, by any means available to him


G2 has now been wimpering that anti-G2 posts are "unfair" and that users who protest G2 should be blocked, SWATTED (see above), and forced on medications (see above), and that "someone else is G2". However - do not let the vicious foreign attacker fool you into your death our out of your community: G2 has been active since exactly the beginning of 2017 "hillary has already won the election" set of lies and has only DOUBLED spam recently - yes the suicide taunting of others, false information, and all else listed above. He is not wimpering for help he has doubled the spam and vicious attacks (or they, communist/facist using federal money. I pinned him correctly when I began this warning post.

GO BACK TO HELL G2. YOU ARE EXPOSED.

DROP DEAD G2



we don't need you being paid by fx co gov to "find racist remarks" about street names - and coming up in this case - with a bundle of two facts that are probably lies

Bailey and his little brother, Seven, protected their Crossroads, for years.

One day, these two brothers, Tyson and Gilbert, asked for access to the Crossroads, but were denied. So, they set out west to set up their own Crossroad. However, they couldn't get enough interest, so they settled on a Corner.

Very similar to Springfield, VA. It was named after Robert Springfield, who was killed in World War II. He laid down his life at the Battle of the Bulge, where he earned the Iron Cross in defense of Germany.

The above posts are not true and should be illegal. You should all be in jail, typical white people. Biden 2020!
