And you'd swear living arround here that each time it snows is the first time NOVA drivers have ever driven in it because all hell breaks loose.

Rob, not everyone wants to live in this clusterfucked cesspool.

My dad moved from fairfax to winchester because of it and its quite nice out there where he lives (quiet, lots of land, no traffic). I dont particularly enjoy it either, and I'll be moving next year (although the traffic will suck just as bad).

Eh I dont know that it is as bad as you all make it out to be. To be honest I used to love going to springfield mall as a kid because it was a change from most other malls in the NOVA areas that are pretty much all white. I dunno, I grew up in North Springfield, essentially in annandale, and Ive never had any complaints about this area. It seems like just because we have a ton of hispanics (although where in NOVA doesnt) and koreans people seem to think this area is shit. Ill never understand it. Never have I felt unsafe here, at school, outside, in a mall, etc. And to be fair Jray, you had what, an ek si stolen and an integra broken into (IIRC), its not like those cars are exclusivly taken in this part of northern virginia.

word. i do like nova and i hope to move back sometime soon. yeah the traffic sucks as has been stated, but i grew up in nova and its never been good. you get used to it. you are never happy about it, but you adjust fire and deal because there's really no way around it. but the nightlife in DC is just a stone's throw away (or a tranny ride/walk away) and its one of the livliest in the country from what i've heard.

He thought the 12 other places he's lived was going to be better than Nova and he ended up back here. You can't escape.

If by 12 you mean 2, sure (atlanta and new hampshire for a summer).

The pic is Huntington Beach in SoCal, for the rest of you Wink

I like the winter weather around here but I wouldn't mind summering somewhere a bit more temperate. One day, when my Time Warner stock goes through the roof, I will keep two residences!
