[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, McLean also has a community park, a community center, a community library, and the same types of community fairs and parades as Vienna.

However, since there's no official "town of McLean," you don't have the sniping between town and county residents as to who lives in "real vs. faux" McLean the way that some town of Vienna residents sometimes go out of their way to exclude people who live outside the town limits but have Vienna mailing addresses.  Apart from the traffic, that's probably the thing I miss the least about Vienna. [/quote]

Don't kid yourself.  There is a "real vs. faux" debate in mcLean.  It's between the McLean folks and the 22043 (Falls Chruch part of McLean) folks.[/quote]

Interesting. I think it's more pronounced in Vienna, though, because people who live in 22180, 22181 and 22182 actually have Vienna mailing addresses, but sometimes get told by town residents that "they don't really live in Vienna."  In comparison, the "Falls Church part of McLean" or "McLean part of Falls Church" is just a way to describe areas with a Falls Church/22043 mailing address that are part of the special tax assessment district that funds the McLean Community Center and/or are assigned to McLean HS.  For the most part, people who live in 22043 can - and do - say they live in Falls Church. [/quote]

lol.  I live in 22182, have never been told I do not live in Vienna, and would not take offense if they did.  Why would I possibly care??? that is too funny.[/quote]
