I went to JEB Stuart HS. The drive to Fairfax was a gravel road from Annandale west. The Springfield I95/495 interchange was cow pasture where we would ride minibikes.
We moved away in 2001 and to go back, 17 years later, is like visiting a different world. Glad my kids aren’t growing up there.
I went to Mclean HS.
The area is now another country.
Sad to see.
I long to leave but I don’t know where to go.
Particularly annoying since I can go. Work is mobile.
