Need help settling in
Posted by: Jake Epping ()
Date: June 26, 2012 11:55PM

I'm a Maine native. I've had some weird things going on in my life for the last... god, six or so years. And even before then I was married to an alcoholic who left me for some asshole.
I decided to come down here, as Maine harbors too many bittersweet memories.
I'm an English teacher by trade. Where in Northern Virginia should I settle in? Where would I find the best housing for a single, aging guy? Where can I find a good therapist? How do I hide from the impending ultimate destruction of the universe, which will be all my fault?
Help is much appreciated

Northern Virginia is boring as fuck. Backwater shithole subsidized by all the communist leechfucks in the federal government sector. I can't wait to leave.

I need a friend too. I'll also have a house on the market soon as well if you are in need.

Alexandria or Arlington if you can afford it. Fairfax County blows.

What you should really be focusing on is where to get the best pizza.

Try Mason Neck. Last oasis of Fairfax County.

There isn't much difference from anywhere in Fairfax. Some places just have better amenities, closer to shopping, less traffic, more traffic, bike trails, assholes (we have plenty of those as you can tell by some previous posters) and culture.

North is filled with the uptight, soccer moms, McLean. Out west is Chantilly, suburbs filled with families and divorcees. South is newer in pockets so you never know what you will get and the East is Alexandria, which is more crowded but older. Central Fairfax is a good place to start. Fairfax city is nice, it's where I live. A new library but the rest of the city never really developed because our city council are turds that don't know what they are doing.

Wwelcome to fairfax. As a teacher, you shouldn't have much trouble getting a job with more than half the budget going to the school system and a University in the middle of the county (GMU).

Good luck.

Closest thing you're going to find to "action" is Reston Town Center. Its the only concentrated zone for restaurants and bars anywhere in Fairfax County (Fairfax Corner coming a distant second).

There is LOTS and LOTS of eye candy there. But you had be prepared to put on a very good show and put out the goods (expensive watch, well dressed, etc.).

PLEASE, do not look for advice on this forum! Or if you do, you need to realize that 75% of the threads are written by high school students who want to be as outrageous as possible and say the most disgusting things!

Other than that, good luck! Wait, don't take this advice based on my advice.

The Lamb Center might work until you get settled. No security deposit that I know of.

Yeah, chances are you're a disaster to be around. You probably look like and have the personality of an old leather boot. I travel for a living and wouldn't consider moving if you paid me. There's opportunity for anything you're interested in living around here. The level of exposure and access is tough to match.

Actually, may I recommend a place in Clarendon or Courthouse? LOTS of hot, young professional women and nice bars/restaurants.

Guys he said he was an English teacher. He won't be living in Clarendon unless he likes having a roommate spending his entire salary on rent.

This area stinks if you are a teacher. There are many areas of the country where you can live a comfortable lifestyle as a teacher and this isn't one of them. I grew up in an area where $200k buys a damn nice home, and teachers there make the same as teachers here where a $500k home budget has you wishing you could spend some more.
