Where in the heck is Ashburn, VA!?

Well, I have had a lot of people ask me where Ashburn is. I felt sort of silly not only not knowing where it was but not having a clue about this city I will probably be a resident of by the end of the month. So, I did a little research and found a great website that told me some random facts about this town!

- Ashburn VA is 30 miles west of Washington, DC in Loudoun County, Virginia. The County is part of Virginia's Hunt Country and has a number of horse farms. Loudoun's population is the fastest growing of all counties in the United States, and Ashburn itself has over 50,000 citizens

-Ashburn is home to the Washington Redskins football team, the National Crash Analysis Center and the Old Dominion Brewing Company

-Ashburn has premier golf courses, two Universities, and is conveniently located between Washington Dulles International Airport and Loudoun County Hospital. Ashburn is home to AOL, Verizon, Equinix , the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) at Janelia Farm, and many other hi-tech corporations.

Now, I understand it's a pretty large city. So, I found the community in which I will be residing and found this information!
