[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from Western NY. Came here after college and never left. It’s been 25 years. I got married, bought a house in a desirable part of Vienna/Oakton area, had kids, stayed home, now teaching. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. We love NoVA/DC. Our kids are in HS, and are looking at local private colleges to attend. My neighbors have been here for 10+ years, and a few are original owners (20-25 years). I suppose if you live in a far out town or county, you may have a different experience. [/quote]

I’m laughing that someone who lives in Oakton/Vienna is separating herself from people who live in a far out location. Twenty-five years ago Oakton and that side of Vienna were farmland. It’s still west bumf—k but with bad traffic.[/quote]

You must live in DC and have to beg to borrow wheels anytime you need to venture away from a subway line, pretending you live in Manhattan. Vienna has pretty good schools, nice neighborhoods, Wolf Trap, Tysons Mall, lots of businesses in Tysons and McLean. It’s not bumf—k. It’s not the outer burbs or points beyond.[/quote]

I’ve lived in DC for 15 years and have only been out your way a handful of times, despite having a car. It’s not exactly, as you say, “bumf-ck” but it is deeeeep suburbia and to me, very unappealing. [/quote]

Well, you’re not wrong.  One can live a fulfilling life without ever seeing Vienna, VA.[/quote]
