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.
It’s really evident every time I go to the mall. Most of the people there are foreigners.
My son lives and works in Arlington. He refuses to have a long commute. But he lives in several different countries. None of them the USA.
It's many other countries. In one sense though, that was ok. We moved to Yorktown, VA and it's hard to find good Chinese food here. Or Thai, or German... In the NOVA burbs there were excellent restaurants from all over the world! I liked that Afghani place in Falls Church City.
We lived in the City of Falls Church (which I refer to as the slums of Mclean) and at Christmas we would go to Tyson's Corner and start circling the parking lot in ever widening arcs looking for a spot. Usually we could find one back in our driveway!
