This is why the last scrap’s of green space in eastern Loudoun is turning into high density housing. The rich western horse farm owning Waterford residents can sip their mint juleps and enjoy the green space they “deserve” for while we easterners increase the tax base for them.

The different-but-sameness of a long 7 is really interesting to me as a New York transplant. There are so many cookie cutter shopping centers. Some of them have housing and movie theaters, but they all feel like the same thing in different layouts.

I’ve driven out to Brambleton via Evergreen Mills Rd a few times and while I enjoy how empty it is, the scenery is pretty depressing.
