No you didn’t.


Actually, yes I did. I have very good reading retention. It's a quote from Tom Sietsema. Do you know who he is?

Not nice to talk about your mama.


Oh honey, it's McLean. She was talking about her husband, not her mama. You know how those trophy wives can be!

Hilarious!

Happy enough with the restaurant offerings. Ex: Kazan's, Greek Taverna, Assaggi, Pasa Thai, Capri, Cafe Oggi, Tachibana, Miyagi, J.

Plus Tysons, Vienna and Falls Church are nearby w/more.

McLean has the most expensive homes, the top schools, the best location. It wouldn't be fair to corner the market on all the best restaurants as well.


McLean needs to redo the chesterbrook shopping area , dump that crappy safeway for a whole foods. Get rid of all Giants and Safeways. Put in Arlington style development with condos


It's going down. PP said the "A" word.

The enrollments at both McLean HS and Marshall HS are the highest they’ve been in at least 25 years.


Have you seen how OLD some of the parents is kids in McLean are? Can't tell of it's mom and dad or grandma and grandpa.


Hmm. Kind of like we can’t tell if you LIVE in the basement or just spend a lot of time there.

Still got it.


DP here. Wasn't that funny. The parents are old.

Parents are older because they build some wealth before popping out kiddies, so they can afford McLean. That's the way to do it. No teen moms up in here.


I am youngish (35 with two kids) and bought 2m home in McLean.


You are not youngish.

The teen moms are such for less than two months. Then the nanny drives the girl to a small medical center off Magarity Rd. Two hours later, no teen mom. You don't know McLean, do you?
