All of this violence? I've lived in Centreville for the past 32 years. It is a lot better than some other areas of northern Virginia, DC or Maryland. It is so much safer walking the streets here. How many murders have we had in Centreville since I move here? What? 5? I brought up my kids here; we have great schools and great neighbors. I really don't think its all that bad at all. I grew up in a large city where cars were bombed, homes were set on fire every week and people were stuffed in trunks..now that's violence.
