A neighbor mentioned to the CCHCA Board that no stop sign exists at the intersection of Farmington and Spring Lake Terrace. Apparently, this issue has been discussed within CCH in the past many times.
The issue has been forward to the mayor, David Meyer, and he has directed his staff to look into it.
This post will be updated after the situation has been reviewed by the City.
The annual meeting will be held at Blenheim at 7:00 pm.
Pizza, cake, and soft drinks will be provided.
Nominations/swearing-in of the CCHCA 2019 board will be done.
The featured speaker will be Brooke Hardin, Fairfax City’s Director of Community Development and Planning.
Please come! It’s a great opportunity to meet the CCHCA board, hear what’s going on in the City, and most importantly, meet some of your neighbors! And eat pizza.

Ever wonder why so many things are named “Daniels” around our neighborhood?
OK, probably not. I was curious though, so I asked some questions in the Virginia Room at the Fairfax City Library. Elaine McRey kindly provided a wealth of information.
The library has maps back to 1760 that document the landowners in the County. Highlighted in yellow below is the land parcel owned by John O’Daniel, who probably inherited or bought it from William O’Daniel. This parcel would eventually become Fairfax City. (Or at least a good bit of it. It seems Frances Summers owned a piece too, but that’s a story for another day.)
So why isn’t everything named “O’Daniel”? According to a video posted on the Daniels Run Elementary School’s website, William’s ancestors dropped the Celtic “O” from the name in the early 1800’s.
So – shouldn’t all the signs around town read Daniel’s (with an apostrophe)?
