[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP in all seriousness, the only 2 places in NOVA that will give you that old fashioned main street feel are Falls Church City or Alexandria 22314 or maybe Del Ray (also in Alexandria).   Which you pick depends on your school requirements.  While Vienna has a bustling main street and chirch street, its more suburbia vibe.  However, Vienna wins for conveniences. [/quote]

Falls Church City does not have an "old fashioned main street feel."  Nor does Vienna have a "main street."

Both Falls Church City and Vienna have commercial areas along busy commuter arteries - Route 7 (called "Broad Street" in FCC and Leesburg Pike elsewhere) and Route 123 (called "Maple Avenue in Vienna and Chain Bridge/Dolley Madison/Ox Road elsewhere).

Just because they have local governments doesn't mean these areas have old-fashioned downtowns.  Not even close. [/quote]

In Vienna, we are talking Church Street, not Maple Avenue.  [/quote]

That's a very small retail area.

Vienna posters always over-hype how much of a small-town feel it has to compensate for living in an area with horrendous traffic outside the Beltway. [/quote]
