Dolph,
I knew you would like that

I have heard Irongate being referred to as the Gates of Hell.
NOW, that is a scarey place. Yes, there are other areas GTS Coverstone and even- Longview ( in HOODBRIDGE)

redawn,

hahahahaha! Christians -1 Lions- 0 You got me on that one. Definitely a ‘gated’ community. Isn’t there a Sunnygate also? Maybe we need a Sudleygate also.

Shawn,

I guess Help Save Manassas needs to be in Manassas.

I agree that it is quite a trek from Woodbridge to Manassas. I am glad you were able to attend.

I am curious. Why did you find SMS scary? Was it the neighborhood? That neighborhood looks like a gated community compared to driving down Manassas Drive in Manassas Park. Shudder!!!

You came from Hoodbridge right?
Please, tell me the difference. I’ve never frequented the “other end” of the county my whole life. Who do you think you are kidding.This coming from one of the county’s most concerned and devoted citizen.
The Park NEEDS to start helping themselves. Go meet Greg L Saturday, and help the ranks of HSM grow.

I don’t live in Manassas Park, but I cannot believe your arrogance. It is all our problem. Focus. Be supportive. Manassas Park’s problems are all our problems. They are just on the front lines.

I went to last night’s meeting. It was my 2nd meeting, since I joined. I applaud the strong efforts or those in attendance, those in leadership, and those politicians that are willing to listen to our concerns. BUT, it’s disappointing that an organization with 1500 so-called members can draw so few people to a meeting. What’s wrong?

Plus, if you’re going to name someone as your lead on membership, it would be a good idea if she knew something about an annual event in Manassas that’s been going on for years (and draws many, many people and politicians) -the Fall Jubilee- instead of acting clueless when she reads the title of the event off a PowerPoint slide. Embarrassing. After all, this group is called “Help Save Manassas”!!

Lastly, can another location be chosen for the meeting? It’s scary driving to SMS, plus it’s a hell of a hike for those of us that live closer to Hoodbridge. Why not somewhere mid-county, like Benton?

Oh, one more thing: In the two meetings I’ve attended, the topic of what can be done about the schools issue in the county or city of Manassas has not been discussed. I could care less about crappy Manassas Park, and that seems to occupy the meeting minutes. That place has always been a *&$%@@!, and always will be.

Lafayette: You go!!!! Dolph and Lafayette are doing a bang up job on their end, especially keeping us informed and with Greg basically being the face of the movement, we are winning the war on the illegals with each passing day.

FYI-All of the violations have been called into Zoning. I’m very active in HSM. I would be asking myself. I call on all violations, and pictures to back each and everyone of them. Right, now I’m waiting for follow up 20 violations.
Are there any violations, I can help you with?

mnasty,

It is pretty much everywhere in this area. Our Westgate/Sudley area is a lot better off than many neighborhoods. Maybe because the ever-vigilant Lafayette and Patty on all over this!

Lafayette & dolph:
This is really sad for you to have such violations and safety concerns. You really need to have hsm make this a priority to help you address these concerns.
No one should need to endure this.

Lafayette,

Perhaps King George is just a magical place. Doors that open and close on their own, dead trucks with beds of trash changing location, tags magically appearing, invisible violations that only the legal residents of the community can see……

Next thing you will be seeing unicorns over there.
