[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived there for a decade.  It has its good points - people are generally friendly and it's very kid-oriented when it comes to cheap eats, youth sports, etc.

On the other hand, it has a conformist vibe and it is extremely sports-oriented.  We've lived in other places in the DC area, including McLean, that felt more private with fewer neighbors keeping tabs on everyone in the neighborhood.

Agree with the PP, by the way, that Vienna generally tends to be rather apolitical.  People will usually make small talk about just about anything other than politics to avoid offending anyone's contrary sensibilities, but maybe things are different when it comes to Trump (whether for or against).

I live in Vienna. Conformist is the perfect word. It feels like one big PTA meeting. Probably because it is run by a former PTA teacher/mom. Think lots of pressure to sign up for things and participate if you have kids. Also you have to be super happy all the time and no negative comments on anything food or town related. They get taken down immediately on any Facebook page, even the once independent yard sale page. [/quote]
