[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burke: where your minivan is one of thousands in a sea of cars at the shoppers food warehouse parking lot. Everything: library, orthodontist, dry cleaner, is just a 5-15 min drive away. Blink and you’ll miss the strip malls because they are all in these sort of pits so they are not visible from the parkways.#suburbanplanning

Curiously the only thing you can walk to is the pool (center of social universe) or or a slug line (“slug lines: we made driving with strangers cool before Uber”). Enjoy a night out with the DH at your choice of strip mall Italian/Thai restaurants. Bask in the warm security of a community where everyone is basically the same.

Burke: 12 miles/15 minutes* from DC and yet, a world away.

*disclaimer: an hour and fifteen minutes in during rush hour, 6 am-9 pm.[/quote]
OMG - this describes Burke perfectly[/quote]

Except the Shoppers Food Warehouse is now a Lidl. And there are many more bus stops than slug lines (plus the VRE), and Burke Centre is criss-crossed with walking and bike trails, but otherwise pretty accurate, sure. [/quote]

Is there a slug line in Burke area at all? I live in Fairfax and I've never seen one but I guess I don't bother looking.[/quote]

There's one at the park and ride at Rolling Valley on Old Keene Mill. That's technically still Burke. That's the only one I'm aware of until you get into West Sprinfield.[/quote]
