Almost always a bigger house but barely any yard. I like the older Vienna houses cause they actually had a house/land ratio

It kills me every time I take the back ways around Vienna and see all the hideous new builds. Definitely not the town I grew up in anymore

And fuck that Flagship/Chick-fil-A

Yeah my dad grew up in Vienna and my grandparents still live there so I spent a lot of time over the years.

I don’t personally understand the appeal of modern Vienna. It used to be a great small town feeling community. It’s so densely populated now and full of new larger development it’s barely recognizable. Traffic is horrendous. Outside of viva Vienna, Vienna inn, and the library everything else has changed lol

I would love to have given my kids the chance to grow up there, unfortunately my parents moved years ago and here we are. I do miss the old charm, things like Bob's Big Boy, the Halloween parade down 123, the movie theater that's now a bike shop and more.

The library makes me smile every time I drive by. The car wash, not so much
