springfield about: The Three "R's" What Would You Expect From A Schoolhouse? - 08/22/10 11:03 AM
RED This one room red schoolhouse was in use until 1939. RESPECTED The fact that it survived postwar expansion in the Springfield area is a story unto itself. It is only a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of the Fairfax County Parkway. RESTORED It was purchased in 1950 by the Upper Pohick Community League - its' members restored it to its' original condition and continue to maintain it.

There are three primary concerns for people who relocate to the National Capital Area and decide to locate in Northern Virginia. The first concern is the availability and cost of housing. For those with children school quality is the second area of interest. It should also be an area of interest for people without children since school quality has an impact on resale value. Commuting is the third area that is considered by a relocatee Springfield is Commuting Central for many North Virginia residents especially if you live east of Burke in Fairfax County and south of the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County … (0 comments)

springfield about: Which Springfield Schools Will My Children Attend? - 12/30/08 12:22 PM
When we moved to Fairfax County 34 years ago there was no internet to help us find our son's school. We had to rely on information provided by the listing agent (sometimes incorrect) or call the Fairfax County School System and inquire about any property we may be interested in. It made no difference whether we wanted to live in Springfield, Burke, Annandale or anywhere else in Fairfax County Well, that certainly has changed. Nowadays you just go to SPRINGFIELD AND FAIRFAX COUNTY SCHOOL BOUNDARY LOCATOR, type in an address and voila - correct information is provided. However, if you don't have an address … (2 comments)

springfield about: BRAC Brings Needed Road Improvements To Eastern Fairfax County Virginia - 10/18/08 03:09 PM
For years those of us in Eastern Fairfax County have struggled with the inconvenience of the Fairfax County Parkway terminating at the Franconia-Springfield Parkway. Although it picks up again at Fullerton Road just west of I-95 and continues to Route 1 the problem lies in the fact the routes available to reconnect are not particularly efficient - actually they are a downright pain. Fortunately, the changes being brought about by BRAC in the Fort Belvoir and Engineering Proving Grounds area necessitate completing the missing link. Construction of the final two miles of the Fairfax County Parkway will begin in late 2008 now that … (6 comments)

springfield about: It's That Time Of The Year Again- School's Open - 08/31/08 12:46 PM
It seems like only a few weeks ago that the school speed limit signs stopped blinking, kids stopped getting on and off the buses and the schoolhouses were closed. Whether it was or wasn't is beside the point - they are now open. The laws about stopping behind a school bus with blinking lights, driving at or under the school speed limit should be taken seriously by everyone. It annoys me when I see a young mother or father with a toddler in the car drive above the speed limit in a school zone when the sign is blinking. I wonder what they will expect … (0 comments)
