The Falls Church Insider All About the City of Falls Church, Virginia, For & By The Folks Who Live & Work There

I registered FallsChurchInsider.com after a long, sunny walk with my family yesterday through the center of Falls Church.  As we walked from Pearson Square to Natalia’s for a cookie and then past the Library, our pediatrician’s office, Cherry Hill Park and on to Lincoln Park for play-time after crossing over the W&OD (twice), then past SmithGifford and into Arlington to Bear Rock Cafe for lunch before marching past The State Theater, stopping in to check out the new Red, White, & Bleu wine shop, then resisting a milkshake at Elevation Burger before passing by the Henderson House and returning home, I realized something: I tend to write in run-on sentences.

I also realized that there’s a lot to explore and learn about in our little city, and I’d like to do just that.  With small kids, I’d like to do it in a way that helps them learn about their community as they get older as well — a journal of some kind, perhaps.  But why keep it to just them?  Why not share it with anyone who cares about Falls Church now or in the future?  So here I am …

There’s a lot I don’t know about Falls Church.  In fact, I know relatively little right now.  But I love the idea of becoming more active in — and knowledgeable about — the community, and at the moment it seems like writing blog posts as I go through that adventure is a good idea.  Now, considering how busy I am at work and that I have 3 small kids and a beautiful wife I love to spend time with, time is hard for me to come by.  There’s no plan, no charter, no business idea, no agenda … just an idea to start.  Where it goes from here is anyone’s guess.
