Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Pizza Hut in Twinbrook (Braddock Rd) is shuttered. That leaves only one or two dine-in Pizza Huts left in the county.

So I heard there was another accident there today and that they did a reconstruction, so it sounds like it was fatal. Anyone know? What the hell is the issue there? There aren't any blind spots or unusual traffic patterns, so it must just be stupid or distracted drivers. I used to live very close to there and I'd hear the crashes from my place every few weeks.

24 Hour Fitness has a sauna and steam room. They're on the pool deck and coed which I like because that means you don't get naked dudes in them. The gym is above the Walmart on Route 7 at Spring Hill Road.

In late 2014, I saw a County presentation that said the Wiehle garage is at roughly 79% of capacity. A lot of people bike and take buses and many use the free VDOT parking lot across Sunset Hills Road. I don't think there have been issues with the garage filling up.

It closed back at the end of December. Supposedly, that whole area - which is primarily a huge surface parking lot right now - is going to be redeveloped. The Circle K and Popeye's will stay, but Chili's is gone, Wells Fargo is gone, and the strip with the 7-Eleven, cleaners, and Reston Kabob is supposed to close as well.

There's another thread somewhere, but what the hell. I just canceled my membership at XSport. I went to the Fairfax one and it's gone downhill since it opened three years ago. It's decent sized, but a lot of it is taken up with their spa and tanning rooms and the rest of it is really cramped. It gets packed during peak hours and the layout is horrible. There's no place to stretch or do squats/lun

So 24-Hour Fitness is now open by Costco. I'm enjoying it before it gets too crowded. XSport is just awful these days and I'm glad to be out of that mess. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put the men's locker room in the far back corner of the gym? Coming after work, I have to work through the displays in their retail area and then dodge around people doing sqauts and lunges in the only

24 Hour Fitness just opened this past weekend in the old Sports Authority building by the Fairfax Costco. I go to XSport and I've already switched to 24 Hour Fitness because it's so much nicer, as well as closer to home for me. XSport is cheap, but they're always so crowded and they don't do a great job keeping it clean. 24 Hour Fitness is reasonably priced and definitely cheaper than Lifetime.
Forum: Fairfax County General

No shit. I only stop there for gas on my way into work, well before the store opens. I can't believe idiots who spend 30-45 minutes there on weekends to save 10 cents or so versus the neighboring Sunoco station. Holy shit.
Forum: Fairfax County General

It's not a Multiplex anymore. It's Bow Tie Cinemas - never been but heard it's okay. But it's nowhere near the new Metro station so you'll have to wait until the Phase II Reston Town Center station opens in 2018 (or, more likely, 2019 or 2020) or else take a bus.

Not sure what it is about this intersection but there are accidents there frequently. I live nearby and I hear them from my house every 2-3 weeks. Every one of them involves someone disregarding a red light. I saw one earlier this year where a vehicle was basically split in half but there were no serious injuries. It's too bad someone lost their life yesterday. There's hope for the future with th

CJ Haircuts at 29 and Jermantown in Fairfax City is okay and it's only 10 bucks. It's all Korean women there, but they do a decent enough job. The American Barber Shop in Newgate Shopping Center at 29 & 28 in Centreville is good too.
