I've been here from 1954 to now. It was very rural, back then. Hagel Circle had at least one minor crime each evening/night. For a while we even had a Fairfax County police presence in a small empty shop. Two officers on bicycles patrolled the whole area. After a while, they gave up and left. The new (then) grocery store was not a place to get a few items. There was a railing to show where the … more ›

It is always dangerous to open your door to a knock anytime, day or night without looking to see who it is and if you can identify him/her as someone you had requested to come to your home.

This is the time of year when the Heart Association does their door to door … more ›

When my sons were in their teens, there was a problem with drugs - marijuana being the biggest problem. When the police got going, it finally became a whisper. more ›

Having been through the minor drug use of my then teen-age sons, It is all DANGEROUS! Marijuana was the cause of a friend of my younger son to be able to get a good job for any length of time, because his mind wandered from work to being or wanting to be high on marijuana. Where he is today? I hope he is OK - but he is not mine to worry over. Marijuana kills a person's desire to work at getting … more ›
