I wasn't trying to resurrect a joke. It's actually the most appropriate name for that corner.


How about McHaycock? The burnt up house is directly across from Haycock Elementary.



That site was cleared. You'd never know that Gigantor thrice was there but for the fact that nothing has taken its place.

That must be why it's caught on so quickly - the three areas have been next to one another for over 100 years and we have, what, 2-3 threads on DCUM using the name. It must roll off your tongue better than it does off mine.

I personally think the premium should be the other way around because the 22043 part is closer to WFC metro. I live in the 22043 area that feeds into Mclean and enjoy the lower tax assessments and purchase price. But I gotta say my place hasn't appreciated as much ad the 22101 zones. So maybe realtors can give more insight as to why this premium continues. It can't all be explained by being able to say I live in Mclean v FC.


This is too lengthy justification for buying in 22043.

BAHAHAHA.

My friend lived in Clifton, and the locals insisted on calling it Centerville, even though the post office calls it Clifton.

People get stupid about this stuff.

Call it what the post office calls it, OP. Get over yourself.


I think you were the one who got stupid, because it's almost certain that the "locals" wanted to refer to part of Centreville as Clifton, not the other way around.

If someone tried to pull that off as McLean, I would laugh at them.

Save yourself some dignity, OP.

Because less then .15 miles is all about dignity? Take a look at the borders of McLean, FallsChurch and Falls Church City. I don't agree that the OP should call it McLean because it is Falls Church but your response is pompous and I say this living in McLean.

It isn't really Falls Church either. Falls Church is a city with definite boundaries. The Post Office is the one who decided to give the area near Falls Church a postal code of Falls Church(just like Vienna, Alexandria and Fairfax). the Post Office also give part of Tyson's the postal code of McLean and I would call it Tyson's not McLean. I would say if the house has to pay the additional tax to the McLen Community Center, they are in McLean. However, I don't see the need for someone to say they live in McLean anyway. I live here (with a McLean Address) and I don't care.

So, OP, if you live and die with the US Postal Code, then you have to say you live in Falls Church. If your children go to McLean schools, participate in McLean sports, are a member of one of the McLean pools........., then I would say you live in McLean.
