[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean was formed in 1910 when the villages of Langley and Lewinsville merged.  I know McLean trends older than Arlington, but the last poster must easily be pushing 115 to suggest Langley and McLean are anything other than two different high schools.   :roll: [/quote]

Please, one need only drive around the area of Georgetown pike (Langley HS) versus the area around McLean HS. Night and Day.[/quote]

I think Langley was a place name before Zip Codes were invented in the 1960's...after that it existed as an unofficial term for the rich part of McLean (the poor part of McLean being south)[/quote]

I grew up in McLean on the "wrong side of the tracks". I can attest to this. Kids from up near Georgetown Pike referred to their area as "Langley" not "McLean". In those days (1970s) Tysons was a strip mall with an orange bowl and mclean was very modest with tons of GS-12-15 single income families. Seriously. I loved NoVa in those days though. Ballston was Parkington and Clarendon was dangerous and had gangs all over.[/quote]
