    And Loudon County will soon get the Redskins! And a minor league hockey team! And more traffic!!

    Are you sure you and Dr. Mrs. want to move??

      You know that article's from 5 years ago, right? And correct me if I'm wrong, based on my recent trips back East, but they are working on phase 2 already, right (assuming phase 2 is to the airport, which is a no-brainer)? Apropos of nothing, but my mom lives in a particleboard home in Ashburn and loves it and her local Wegmans; of course, after 35 years in Haymarket she just loves not being over 25 miles from anything of note.

        Minor league hockey? Are you maybe thinking of the failed attempt to get the minor league Loudoun Hounds over at Loudoun One? The fun part about that was that any home run would go right onto Route 7.

          There is talk of a 5,000 seat barn + auxiliary rink somewhere around Leesburg. IIRC a Russian figure skating husband & wife are involved.

            I drive by (through) the Phase 2 construction along 267 every day; I am intimately aware of every inch of progress. Currently Wiehle is the terminus but it will run through CIT to Ashburn with a spur down to Dulles. Our house is 3 miles north of the Wiehle station in the '94.

              That wouldn't make any sense. It sounds like one of those white elephants used to steal public money for private real estate development. Plus Russian so, you know, criminal.

                        Florida fires Title IX official because the dope bought porn with his work computer.

                          They probably fired him not for using the work computer to do it, but for being stupid enough to pay for it when it's so easy to get for free.

                            Why is your husband mowing the lawn?

                            Is this a Canadian thing?
