lol, only someone not from Virginia would describe Sterling as "backwater". It's actually a soulless suburb of DC, pretty nondescript, but hardly "backwater".
@xavierpaquin Yea I certainly haven't evaded the small towns challenge and the longer I stay the longer I feel it trying to gravitate me in and away from the world like a dolly shot of it just panning away it's really disturbing. I need to leave.
@BlurplBeryTAZ Im 32 years old and a native of Loudoun County. I grew up in Sterling and lived in Philomont as a teen. Even Sterling in the 1980s when I was a small child was really becoming a boom town for DC . Strip malls and more vinyl sided houses were popping every place.NOVA is now a separate state. They dont act or talk like Virginians anymore. Im so glad i live in Richmond. So much more culture and character here.
No friggin way. My brother had Lebo for first Grade. Myself was Johnson for First. Ayers for Second, Gregory (I think was her name) for third. Left VA during Fourth Grade with Mrs. Pittman (Bell was her maiden name).
"...I would have stayed in the town where I was born and worked in the hardware store and married the bosses' daughter and had five kids... and squabbled with the wife about ...what programmes they could watch on the T.V. I might even have got rich- small town rich, an eight room house, two cars in the garage... the wife with a cast iron permanent and me with a brain like a sack of Portland cement. You take it, friend. I'll take the big, sordid, dirty, crooked city."
I grew up south of Sterling in an area between Fairfax and Burke Centre. The Sterling/Reston/Herndon area is a planned community and pretty bland, but northern Virginia is part of the DC metropolitan area so it's neither small-town nor backwater. He says in the video it was 10 minutes from Washington, DC.
Sterile, soulless, suburban sprawl? Yes. Backwater, remote, and small town? No. Definitely not.
I live in Arlington, couple minutes away from Sterling. Don't know how it was back then, but now its actually a pretty fun place

@pretorious700 Fine, soulless, whatever. My dad lives in Richmond. There's nothing to do unless you're really into the Civil War.

@pretorious700 It was a backwater years ago. Very rednecky too. I grew up there. Leesburg was okay, though.
