[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On another forum, a poster commented that the Alexandria part of Fairfax County is not Alexandria.  I see this come up a lot on this forum and there are a lot of Alexandria City posters who are very opinionated on this. Its kind of amusing.

My question for the sticklers on this: if I live in the Fairfax County part of Alexandria, where am I supposed to say I live?

I definitely can't just say "I live in Fairfax County."  Do I need to say "I live in Alexandria, but the Fairfax County part, not Alexandria City" ?  or "I live in Belle Haven/Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley/etc but I have an Alexandria address"?

Its such an odd hill to die on, but it comes up so often, there must be some good guidance the sticklers can give!

Well a lot of my friends and family are from Alexandria think 1945 and they consider Fairfax County Alexandria to be Alexandria, VA. I do as well. It's only the newcomers that think it's something different. But whatever. Our mailing address says Alexandria and so do those that live in Alexandria City. [/quote]
