[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People complain that western Fairfax is nothing but chains and big box stores.  Not e tire my true, but I’m with the Ashburn poster who says, as a parent, who cares? I’m not taking my kids to fancy places. And I’m happy to be close to target and wegman’s. [/quote]

Yes, Ashburn is great for family with kids lifestyle only. [/quote]

I don't want this to sound like I'm arguing, but given the PP's note that she doesn't take her kids to fancy places--I think places like Ashburn appeal to families who have a certain take on "kids lifestyle." I have literally nothing against the suburbs, live in one myself though different in character to Ashburn, but I would be thoroughly depressed to only have big-box stores and chain restaurants close by. I love dining out with my kid and exposing her to different foods, as well as just dining out generally. She is five and we really like our evenings out as a family, as well as the mommy-daughter brunches I take her to every other week after soccer practice.

Also, my husband and I also like having a good variety for date nights as well as evenings with friends.

Anyways, "as a parent," I care quite a bit...but others have a different type of lifestyle. Just always think its odd when folks lump "parents" into one group. We are still individuals. [/quote]
