Last week I drove by the place that the girl was advertising on here a while back, and it was closed. Yeah, same place as you're thinking.

What's a good place to call for refrigerator repair near Falls Church? My Maytag isn't cold all the sudden. Another question: Where to shop for new refrigerators? Sears and Best Buy don't have a good selection.

They just got Sonic in the Boston area. They're going insane for it, like when they got Krispy Kreme. (I think KK lasted about a year before they went out of business up there...)

The police escorts are to make the traffic flow smoother - if they weren't there, there would still be a funeral procession, and it would be much more in your way, all the way.

I've been driving all over the area (about 500 miles in the last 2 weeks), and yeah, the roads in Fairfax County are messed up with potholes. I hope they fix them soon!

I saw six or seven fawns wandering around at the end of Electric Avenue near Tysons Corner last week. I wonder if we're going to have the kind of deer infestation problems that Maryland has been having.

There was a Fritzbees in Annandale "town center" (it was never called that at the time) and one in Fairfax Circle. Both are now Great American Restaurant establishments that are pretty similar to Fritzbees.

I've been having a lot of problems with the quality of my COX cable, too, especially in the last week (that I noticed). Here's the thing: when many of the channels seem to be flaking out like that, the broadcast channels that COX is providing are rock solid. And the flake-outs are being reported all over the COX service area. At the central office (whatever it's called), the broadcast chann

It just can't be legal to be performing this excavation. Merely walking around until being asked to leave by the property owner ought to be okay, as far as trespassing is concerned. But I hope people don't get into trouble or arrested for going actually digging! That seems pretty dicey. It might be better to secure permission from the property owner for doing these surveys. I don't think a

I remember people saying, "I'm black you black we all black at Luther Jack!" 1970s. However, I don't think I knew anyone from the school, and I suspect they didn't chant that, themselves, LOL. This "discrimination in FFX" seems like it should be a separate thread, though.

Yesterday morning, starting around 4AM, I lost all connectivity with COX: phone, internet, cable, all dead. It was acting like the plug was pulled. It came back about 6 hours later, I think. Sounds like some massive outage. I'm on the Falls Church / Alexandria line.

Is that really the name, or just something you found on a map? Mapmakers have been known to deliberately place wrong information on maps, to become evidence when a competitor illegally copies the map.
