VA-GOV: Spanberger Holds 10-Point Lead for Virginia Governor

7. Lots of government and government related workers in northern VA?

I lived and worked in the D.C. area (Annandale) and my neighbors were all government or government related workers. One worked at the Pentagon, a naval officer who was an architect. I worked in the district, tho, and was in a carpool (very common at the time, dunno about now) so you could get in faster on the Beltway by traveling in the carpool lane.

At the time I worked at the lobbying office of the ACLU. It was an interesting time (35 years ago). Coming from New York, I thought it was astounding that the (then) subway/rail transit closed down at 6 pm. I missed NY terribly.

The Kennedy Center had just opened and my then husband got a job as the film archivist.

It was an interesting time but I am glad I moved to New England (and esp. New Haven).
