Those townhouses aren’t ugly, and you get Langley and much greater proximity to DC, if that matters.

Well, let's answer that simple question.

Asian enrollment at Oakton: 32.79%

Asian enrollment at Madison: 15.64%


So…does that mean Oakton athletics have fallen correspondingly…lol?


Oakton does just fine. Schools that are whiter and wealthier like Madison and Yorktown tend to do better at more sports, even with smaller enrollments.

If Oakton loses kids from Crossfield or Navy with the opening of the Western HS its sports teams won’t do as well.

That is impressive to be at the top of the medical profession just a few years out of med school.


You mean to say - you call BS on this?


I’m the PP. Our daughter graduated a some dozen years back. She graduated from a top 5 med and residency. Currently finishing up a prestigious fellowship. No she is not yet officially “working” but has plenty of options for the next phase.
Yes to me, this is operating at top of her profession.


Humble brag on an anonymous website.
And too dumb to comprehend the stupidity of it. Priceless!

Not a fan, to be honest. Too much vinyl siding.


That’s what you get for $1.4…. I’ve seen much worse. what are you expecting, full masonry construction? A half acre lot in Vienna (if you can even find it) will set you back $1.2..,,
