[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived there for a decade.  It has its good points - people are generally friendly and it's very kid-oriented when it comes to cheap eats, youth sports, etc.

On the other hand, it has a conformist vibe and it is extremely sports-oriented.  We've lived in other places in the DC area, including McLean, that felt more private with fewer neighbors keeping tabs on everyone in the neighborhood.

Agree with the PP, by the way, that Vienna generally tends to be rather apolitical.  People will usually make small talk about just about anything other than politics to avoid offending anyone's contrary sensibilities, but maybe things are different when it comes to Trump (whether for or against).

The Republicans did get booed at the Halloween Parada which usually didn’t happen.  But I guess this year, it’s different.  OP-Vienna can be cliquey or not depending on whether you buy into the rat race.  Some Vienna moms will be into AAP, which pool you belong to (get your name on a waitlist asap), sports, [b]posting selfies in Vienna Foodies[/b], etc. But most parents are academically focused without being extra. It’s a great place to raise a family.  [/quote]

That has got to be the weirdest FB page ever. And I can't even explain why. I joined it for restaurant info when I moved to Vienna, and it is just ... selfies from some clique and also marketing disguised as regular posts? Hard to describe. [/quote]

Such a strange group. No one is allowed to post anything that isn’t over the top positive so there’s tons of glowing tributes to mostly mediocre restaurants. Like a community sanctioned advertising page.[/quote]
It’s a gross site.  It’s like anyone who posts is only tolerated if they can ultimately make the administrators of the FB page look like local influencers.  [/quote]

I can’t stand L, her worshippers, and the types of posts about food that are DISallowed.[/quote]
