Falls Church

Falls Church is only 2 square miles and it only has one high school with a thousand kids. Growing up in this small of a city, you really get to know a lot of people. Pretty much anywhere you go, you run the risk of seeing at least one of your friends. I loved growing up here. Although there is hardly anything to do other than go to Tyson mall a couple miles outside the city, Falls Church couldn't feel more like home. Apparently, "The Little City" (copyrighted in 2010) has the highest percentage of adults with a masters degree. Being such an educated community, the area is very safe. A twelve year old girl could walk around  the city naked at midnight and the worst that could probably happen is she would be picked up by the police and taken home. Moving to Richmond was a huge change from my safe city. Sometimes I forget where that I am in a much more dangerous city and feel safe walking across Monroe Park at night. Thankfully my friends are sane enough to keep that from continuing.
I love school, but being able to go home to Falls Church ever so often keeps me sane. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't escape back to the serenity of my city.
