Hello, I just wanted to post this, because I don't think it had been posted yet. They charged one of the guys responsible for the robbery/ triple stabbing in Springfield that happened back in 2008. Does anyone here remember that? I remember a thread when it happened. Here's the link... http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/cms/story.php?id=3420 One of the brothers killed was a childhood friend and baseba

In case there are any former Stuart Raiders on this board that remembers when we used to dominate in the 70's and 80's... Stuart made the playoffs for the first time since 1994. We finished the regular season 5-5 (hey it's better than 0-10!)and they play undefeated Stone Bridge on Friday. No 8 seed vs. No 1 seed. Oh yeah, and we finally got the Bell back after 5 straight losses. http://www.fcnp

i consider myself part southern. being born and raised in Falls Church. i've always known what grits are. my high school was named after a confederate. popeyes is clearly better than KFC. (anyone from the south knows this). i'm not afraid of guns. i think actually being from the DC area makes you a hybrid southerner. i like nascar and the jon stewart show. i've also lived in richmond for 2 ye

don't know if anyones heard this yet. but westlawn shopping center is about to get redeveloped. bill page honda has always owned the strip since it was built in the 60's. their redevelopment plan was recently approved by ffx. the dealership will move to the corner where the old grocery store is now, but will have a smaller footprint due to a 4 story garage for new cars to be built behind the new

there are worse drugs in the "white" neighborhoods of Fairfax. look at the Centerville kids and their cute heroin ring financed by their parents unknowingly. at least the drug users in the crossroads probably worked their ass for that money, instead of stealing it from their parents. stop hating on the crossroads.

there's nothing wrong with the crossroads, that's my hometown. while i grew up off sleepy hollow road in the "rich" area, i go to Bailey's all the time. best ethnic food in the entire D.C. region. there are some very long established businesses there too. so the xroads isn't lilly white. what's the big deal? the only thing that does suck is the day laborers at 7-11 and the U-Haul on Columbia Pi

AP or IB, both interchangeable IMO, someone called Annandale shit... so I defended. sorry to get so emotional, haha i was just expanding upon the OP EliseB, that while Woodson might be considered one of the best in the country, Annandale is still part of FCPS. it really can be a good school, if you make the most of it.
Forum: Fairfax County General

But Annandale has a better football tradition! :-) The last school inside the beltway to win the AAA state football title... Okay, in serious, Woodson probably is a better school. But both have IB programs. If your kids are smart, make sure they take mostly IB classes. Annandale has more gangs true, but good parenting can keep your kids out of trouble, no matter where they go to school. The basi

About the bomb shelters in Fairfax schools... I found the bomb shelters at Poe Middle School and JEB Stuart High school. (both built in the late 50's and early 60's) One entrance to the Poe bomb shelter was in the farthest storage room (along the row of little rooms) in the old shop room on the right. I don't know if the shop rooms have been renovated since I went to Poe from 1994-97. But during
