Had it not been for Jack Herrity's vision of the Fairfax COunty Parkway, there would not be one.
We would still be going up Pohick Rd. to Rt 123, to Braddock Rd, Shirley Gate and then a left onto Rt 50 - then up 28 to get to the north end of the county.
No thanks, been there, done that.
Jack Herrity once asked me if folks would remember what he did for this county. I said I remembered - he said he hoped there were more out there. Sadly, he passed away before a "big comeback" in politics - Hopefully his son will pick up and continue!
