Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiManassas, Virginia, is forever associated with the two Civil War Battles that took place nearby in 1861 and 1862. Manassas was founded as a railway junction point in the 1850s and its strategic location as a transporation crossroads determined the role it was to play in the Civil War.
Manassas today would strike visitors as a typical suburban community. Shopping centers, chain restaurants, and cinemas are present along Sudley Road (Route 234). Residents work in Washington, DC, 35 miles away, and in neighboring Prince William and Fairfax Counties. Long-time residents, however, are keenly aware of the city's unique heritage. Old Town Manassas strives to preseve a small-town look and feel. Historic homes, churches, storefronts, and the Southern Railway depot are found here.
For travelers, Manassas is the gateway to the Shenandoah Valley and to the Piedmont region of Virginia. Travelers interested in tracing Civil War history in Virginia can begin their journey at Manassas National Battlefield Park. Manassas is conveniently reached via Interstate 66 from Washington.

FairfaxFairfax, Virginia, is a small city in Northern Virginia. Originally known as Fairfax Court House, it is home to the burgeoning Fairfax County Court House complex. Yet, it is not part of surrounding Fairfax County. (All incorporated cities in Virginia are indenpendent, they are not under any county jurisdiction.) Fairfax is also home to to George Mason University, one of the largest Virginia public universities.
Fairfax was a small easy going town from long ago. On a cold winter day you could lay down on US Hwy 50 center stripe for minutes without any traffic. Now its a typical very busy suburb of Washington DC...still a nice place to live.Fairfax, VA, USA -

WoodbridgeWoodbridge is an unincorporated communiuty in Prince William County in Northern Virginia about 25 miles (40 km) south of Washington, DC. It is generally defined by Occoquan Creek to the north and Powells Creek to the south. Many of Woodbridge residents commute into Washington DC to work. Woodbridge is a mix of suburban developments and ethnic enclaves. Route 1 through Woodbridge is a crazy quilt of strip shopping centers, fast food, ethnic food (especially pupuserías), billboards, car dealerships, and auto care shops. It has its own vibrancy. Everything is in constant motion! The surroundings become more settled and suburban around Neabsco Creek. The name is derived from a "wood bridge" than once spanned Occoquan Creek.
Woodbridge is home to the popular Potomac Mills, one of the largest outlet shopping centers in Northern Virginia, and many "big box" retail outlets. Woodbridge is also the home of the Potomac Nationals minor league baseball club and the Northern Virginia Royals soccer club.Woodbridge, VA 22191, USA -

RestonIt was long ago when Reston Ave. was just a dirt road to nowhere in Fairfax County. US silly high school kids used to drag race our parents V-8 cars there. Things changed for the better when they planned very well before construction started. Reston was built to be a special country home with tall trees; loaded with great walking and bike trails. You could now visit this place in many moons.Reston, VA, USA

SpringfieldSpringfield, Virginia, is a suburban community 17 miles south of Washington, DC. It’s not an incorporated city, but politically is part of Fairfax County. Springfield residents nevertheless have a strong community identity characterized by the neighborhood in which they live: Central Springfield, North Springfield, or West Springfield.
Springfield has long been a transportation hub and gateway to the Nation’s Capital. The Franconia-Springfield Metro station in Central Springfield affords all-day parking and convenient Metro transportation for visitors to Washington. It’s also convenient to shopping at Springfield Mall and nearby specialty stores. The massive Springfield Interchange, where Interstate Highways 95 from Richmond and Baltimore, 495 from Tyson’s Corner, and 395 from Washington all converge in the “Mixing Bowl,” brings in highway travelers from near and far. You might visit Springfield if you are traveling along Interstate 95 and stop for a meal or an overnight stay.
Springfield’s population is diverse. You’ll find "mom-and-pop" ethnic restaurants and stores in Central Springfield and good Asian cuisine and Greek-style “family restaurants” in all parts of the community.
Founded in 1854 as a railway stop, Springfield does have a history, though one must carefully seek it out amid the suburban facade. Parks like Lake Accotink Park and Hidden Pond Nature Center preserve natural habitats and provide outdoor recreation spots for residents.Springfield, VA, USA -

HerndonHerndon, Virginia is a large city in Northern Virginia, I suspect it was created by wealthy influential landowners. It encompasses Dulles International Airport and Reston. Reston is home to many LARGE software development companies - think Accenture, Oracle, SAP, Computer Associates, Nextel, etc. etc.
Most significant about Herndon - it is the best connecting city for Washington DC and Dulles Airport. To reach DC you could leave your car at the Park & Ride for free. You could also take a short ride by taxi to the park and ride. After that you can take a fast take a fast commuter bus to DC or to West Falls Church metro station.
With a very large residential community, this is not a mecca for party-goers, rather it morphs into a bedroom community after office hours.
Several fine dining options, hotels, shopping centers, Malls are also found in this area.Herndon, VA 20170, USA
