Insiders’ Tips: What Are Your Favorite Places in McLean?
After four dynamic years yielding him two Cappie awards and an EP of original songs, McLean’s Damian Leverett, 18, cites the food of Chop n Chicken at 1375 Beverly Road, McLean, as the main fuel to his fire. The recent McLean High School graduate says, “It was my favorite meal to have before performances. … They catered a few of our all-night rehearsal dinners and fed us in between matinee and evening shows.” The aspiring actor recommends the “Create Your Own” option which allows customers to add any three toppings to the restaurant’s namesake dish, but he adds that because “every dish has their delicious chopped chicken … it’s hard to go wrong.” As Leverett prepares to study acting at the Guthrie Theater BFA Program at the University of Minnesota, he reflects on the family-owned business as “definitely the restaurant I’ll miss most when I move away for college.”

Insiders' Tips: What Do You Like Most About Living in McLean?
“I would say McLean is a really top quality residential area. The school system here is famous in Fairfax County. I’ve also enjoyed all the people I’ve met so far. Over 13 years, I have known many good neighbors, parents, teachers and other people involved in all kinds of organizations. Even during the daily grocery shopping experience, I just feel that things are so convenient and pleasant every time. The feeling I have about the culture of the community here is that everyone is looking for the best to contribute back to the community, especially the experience I had with Churchill Elementary School, Cooper Middle School and Langley High School so far.

Finding the Free Resources Available to McLean Residents
Many residents who are over 55 are unaware of the variety of information and services available to helping them stay in place comfortably, stay informed and stay connected within the McLean community. In May 2013, the Dranesville supervisor’s office hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at the McLean Community Center, launching the McLean Senior Source (MSS). After spending the past year navigating the system on behalf of my parents, I wish this resource had been available to me when I needed it.
