Hello Fairfax!
My name is Sharmane Medaris.
I am a mom of three (twins included), wife, an avid runner, and of course a big foodie and I’ve been a licensed Realtor® for seventeen years both in the DMV and Florida. I’m so excited to take you on a journey through Fairfax County with my new video and neighborhood series, Live Fairfax!
In my former career, I worked for Destination DC and I absolutely loved showing people what to do in Washington, D.C. — from festivals and games to museums and nightlife.
Now as a Fairfax resident, I would want nothing more than to give you the insider’s knowledge on all of the hidden treasures, special events, festivals, places to eat and so much more.
Join me bi-weekly… there are so many things to do and new experiences to make in Fairfax County you never know where or what I’ll be doing next!
I can’t wait!

The Dragons Concord is now open at 11215L Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22030! After some delays with construction, we’ve finally opened our doors and are accepting tabletop gamers of all types to come down and enjoy our tailored gaming space.
We have 7 tables exclusively dedicated to TTRPG and Miniature wargaming, including 3 custom gaming tables in their own private, themed gaming rooms. This isn’t the normal game store and while we do have a selection of harder to find retail in the back, our focus is on providing play space and gaming services such as an active roster of storytellers with regular scheduled games you can book through our website or Meetup (www.meetup.com/dragons-concord-gaming).
If you’ve been wanting to get into tabletop or miniature gaming, but haven’t because you couldn’t find a group or a comfortable place to play, come down and check us out!
