Yup. I got here right in the middle of the DC boom in the Reagan years. Manassas was just building up and Gainesville was nothing more than a factory and an auto parts dump site. Wife actually cried as we drove past Gainesville saying, "you're bringing me where?". You should see it now.

I've seen sat views of Gainesville and my brother, who still lives in VA and travels through that area every now and again, tells me about.  When I left it was in its transformation, but it's grown quite a bit since then.  I have no doubt that I'd barely recognize it now.  The main drag (Rte 29) has changed considerably.  Heck, even Haymarket's built up quite a bit, and just about the biggest thing they had there when I left was a Sheetz.  LOL.    

 

And I can just imagine how much worse Rte 66 is during rush hour.  :p  

 

Can you imagine what it would be like if they had built Disney's America?  OMG.

    I haven't been on 66 during rush hour (or anything close to rush hour) since Dec 2013.

    Dont miss it. Avoid at all costs. :smileylol:

     

    And yes. If Disney built a park in Haymarket there it would have been a disaster. Glad it was voted down.
