Keep Little River Turnpike as the Only Name for Annandale's Main Street
Keep Little River Turnpike as the Only Name for Annandale's Main Street
The Issue
We believe the historic name of Little River Turnpike should be the only street name that accurately describes our community. Annandale residents and businesses are proud of their diverse cultural backgrounds. We oppose honorarily re-naming Little River Turnpike and installing signage identifying Annandale as “Koreatown” or Gangnam Street. This commercial branding does not accurately reflect the diverse population of Annandale. It is unfair to all other residents and business owners. The image discourages investment. We do not believe Fairfax County should endorse an image of Annandale that prefers one ethnic or cultural group over all others who have lived and worked along Little River Turnpike since 1802.
