    66 West in Northern Virginia

    If people would stop building mcmansions way out in Front Royal and Winchester and commuting into DC, we wouldn’t have to add a lane and rearrange it every two years.

      I tell you brother, 66 was fucked before anyone would even consider living in FroRo. They had lead in the ground from a … I wanna say paint factory, or parachutes maybe or maybe paint for parachutes … That was there in WW2. (They say it’s better now, but I’d never live there)

      When they redid the lanes, but only made it go to Manassas, I mean that was just a big desperate gesture to keep all the richtards happy living out that way.

      Perhaps you’re right, but NoVA is still one place where you can make consistent good money. So there will never not be a draw, and they will never stop building the area up. Except for when COVID happened, I think some parts are still struggling to bounce back from that.
