Vienna is a decent suburb of a mid-size city. What are you expecting?

OP is an aspiring urbane sophisticate. The only acceptable neighbors are diplomats with children who frequent art museums and the theater.

Baseball and tech companies!? How gauche.

All the TOV residents sweating it today. Get your a$$ out in sub freezing temps and clear that useless sidewalk in front of your home - or get fined by the town. You would think that fur all the $$ tax they charge, they could at least shovel the sidewalks. My 90yo mother sadly still lives in TOV - so we will need hire someone to shovel her walk. No exemptions for the elderly.

Terrible traffic
Ugly homes
Strip malls everywhere
Panera is considered fine dining

They're not wrong though. Arlington's football teams sucks - that's why we beat them nearly half the time!

Not PP literally proving OP’s point about being provincial. Who cares about high school football? I live in Arlington and think there is “a shoe for every footl and wasn’t going to get involved, but then this poster rolled up making Vienna look pathetic.

Yes, but they couldn't even get Taylor Swift to perform.

Pssst...that is a positive

That said, I don't get the hate. It has highly ranked schools, new homes, and seems fairly family friendly. Lots of kids, sports, walking trails, and shops nearby. I understand why people move there.

Why so angry, OP? Do you have kids?

Town of Vienna DOES NOT have or run their own schools, unlike Falls Church City. TOV schools are owned and run by Fairfax County Schools. Nothing special there...and your bloated tax dollars send to TOV are NOT funding the schools there.

I hate the original Vienna more, the one in Europe I mean. It's so snobby.
