They may have had a hard time, but all the stalls were full before we left for Germany in '87.
That's true as far as I can remember. We lived about three miles from the mall, so it was a favorite
place to go shopping.

I have been to Springfield Mall about 3 times since about 1985. I lived just North of Ft.
Belvior on the West side of Rt 1.

You were close to a lot of shopping. We lived on Newington Road, in Lorton (now it's in Springfield
according to Google Maps). The mall was about the closest thing to get to.

I lived on Wolford Way in Lorton for a couple of years in the late 80's. We liked to call
ourselves "Fairfax Station", which was on the other side of 95. Being associated with DC
prision wasn't quite the lady attractor that some have have thought.

My daughter lived down there for the first year or so of her marriage. They lived on the other side
of Pohick Rd. The DC prison grounds are now Laurel Hill Golf Course. Very nice course - and
expensive for a county course. I play there only when our local Greendale seniors can get an outing
there for about $45. Then it's a great deal.
