The first issue I'd like to tackle is the name. What do we call ourselves and our Geographic area? I tell people I live in the Alexandria section of Fairfax County, but that can be a mouthful. Some other options:
Mount Vernon - It is our most historic landmark and home of the father of our country, but this seems to leave out the people at the North end.
Hybla Valley - It is smack in the middle and the commercial hub of the region, but I think it has negative associations with the old run down shopping center and strip malls.
SoFoNiFi - We could name it like they do in New York. This stands for South of Four Ninety Five. Alternatively, we could use NoFoBel, for North of Fort Belvoir.
I'm sure I will revisit this issue. Send me your suggesstions.
