fairfax county: YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD WEEK IN DC IF - 03/29/08 09:12 AM
Congress doesn't pass any laws that spend your money wastefully or limit your freedom.  To the best of my knowledge it's been such a week.
This weekend in our nation's capital is very eventful and none of it required an Act of Congress.
Today marks the opening of the NATIONAL CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL a two week celebration of the gift from Japan in 1911.  Yes, 1911 - the initial trees were given then, but were diseased and replaced in 1912 which is the date the public recognizes.  One of the activities my husband and I enjoy is today's music by the Howard University Jazz Ensemble.

fairfax county: HOW TO PLAN FOR A 2008 HOME PURCHASE - 03/07/08 04:12 PM
 
 
Sound  lending guidelines for home purchases were ignored between 1999 and mid-2005 resulting in more than 1.25 million pre-foreclosure letters being sent to homeowners in 2007 - an increase of 79% over 2006.
Lenders are now verifying the prospective borrower's employment, credit worthiness and requiring that the parties have enough residual cash to cover the costs associated with homeownership and other contingencies that may arise.
Now that the traditional underwriting guidelines have been reestablished a lot of care and effort has to be taken to prepare for the home buying process.  Keep the benefits of homeownership in mind when the … (25 comments)

fairfax county: LIGHTNING, WIND, WATER, FIRE - 03/07/08 02:43 PM
 
WHICH CAUSES THE MOST DAMAGE TO A HOME?
If you answered water you are correct.  Water damage results in an estimated $6.8 billion worth of property damage every year..  Many of the water damage claims are the result of appliance and water heater leaks, plumbing leaks or lack of care when using water.
There are a few measures you can take to minimize the possibility of these incidents occurring.
• Check all the window and door seals in your home and replace or caulk as necessary.
•  Inspect your tub and shower for leaking shower doors and replace old and brittle caulk.  Check the sink … (3 comments)

fairfax county: SPRINGFIELD VA REAL ESTATE TOUR OF HOMES AND SUBDIVISIONS - 03/01/08 05:58 PM
16 Springfield subdivisions were selected to demonstrate the wide variety of homes that are available to meet the needs of a broad section of the population. One of the main attractions of Springfield is that it projects a genuine sense of a well established, mature community that is not apparent in more recently developed areas.  Since Springfield is not an incorporated town or city, its' services are provided by the Fairfax County form of government.
When you click on the subdivision links you will see photos, prices and other pertinent information regarding the particular subdivision.

fairfax county: BUS - A MAJOR PLAYER IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION - 02/28/08 09:16 PM
 
Every day thousands of Northern Virginiansuse   TRAINS     METRORAIL   and   CARPOOLS to commute to work. Since these systems are modern, efficient, well maintained and cost effective they enjoy continued growth.
Virginia Railway Express, METRORAIL and Carpools are not always easily accessible to commuters and they most certainly are  not practical for intracity travel
HERE COMES THE BUS !!!!  We have numerous buslines meeting the needs of commuters and those needing  "around town" service.

fairfax county: SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT - PROGRESS RAN OVER THE RUNWAY - 02/25/08 06:01 PM
 
 
This is the 5th in my series of reports on extinct Northern Virginia airports
At the end of World War II Carl Allen opened the Springfield Airport with a 2,200 foot unpaved runway.  In addition to providing refueling and other services he planned to open a flying school to serve the postwar interest in flying by veterans under the GI Bill.
One of the mechanics at the airport was Charlie Kulp, The Flying Farmer of BEALETON VIRGINIA FLYING CIRCUS fame.  At age 82 he flew his last barnstorming flight in 2007.
The owner and his wife were killed in an airplane crash in 1951 and the … (6 comments)

fairfax county: CROSSROADS AIRPORT - IT ACHIEVED A "HIGHER" USE - 02/25/08 10:33 AM
 
 
This is the 4th in my series on extinct Northern Virginia Airfields. 
In 1941 E.C. Germain purchased a 350 acre site along Route 7 just east of Bailey's Crossroad.  He operated the Washington Air Charter Service and planned a 3,500 foot unpaved runway.
The airport began to achieve greater commercial success when it was purchased by the Benn brothers in 1946.  They opened a flight training school for GI's wanting to learn to fly using their GI Bill benefits.  Eventually, the name was changed to Washington-Virginia Airport.
The Goodyear blimp moored at the aiport when it visited the National Capital Area.  Additionally, planes that were modified to represent Japanese Zeros … (5 comments)

fairfax county: GEORGE WASHINGTON AIR JUNCTION - A GIGANTIC FLOP - 02/23/08 04:25 PM
 
 
Henry Woodhouse purchased 1,500 acres of dairyland in Hybla Valley during the 1920's.
It was his objective to build the largest transatlantic commercial airport in the National Capital Area.  There were three runways with the largest being 7.200 feet long as well as moorings for Zeppelins.
 
Howver, the airport never received the necessary approvals - there is no record of any takeoffs or landings during its' operation.
 
 
 

 
 
The land was leased to dairy farmers until 1950 when the Virginia National Guard established an anti-aircraft battery in defense of Washington, D.C. on the site … (8 comments)

fairfax county: BEACON FIELD AIRPORT IS NOW BEACON MALL SHOPPING CENTER - 02/19/08 05:55 PM
 
In all the years we lived in Mount Vernon and shopped at Beacon Mall I wondered where the name originated.
The original 74 acre tract was purchased by an Alexandria businessman in the 18th century.  It changed hands over time and became the site of City View, an impressive 19th century estate.
The site (elevation 249 feet) was an ideal location for an airfield which was developed in the 1920's.  Originally, it was used by private pilots and the US Mail Service.
During Woeld War II it saw service as a training school for naval aviation cadets as well as the Womens Air Force … (2 comments)

Over the past 31 years the Springfield area has been a primary source of real estate business for my husband and me.  The reason I became a West Springfield Rotarian is easy to understand - Rotary International is renowned worldwide for the members service to their community as well as to international projects such as the eradication of polio
The Rotary Club of West Springfield, chartered on April 9, 1980, was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Springfield. It was first known as the Springfield Breakfast Rotary Club and met at the Springfield Howard Johnson. Meetings were moved to the Hunter Motel in 1982 and then to the … (2 comments)
