[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, but it’s always filled with people! It’s not even a shopping mall. It’s a food and entertainment destination now. So bizarre.  [/quote]

Who the hell wants it to still be a shopping mall? Do you really miss having not one, but two Macy’s?

I don’t know anyone besides my mom who still shops in person at department stores. If people want to mall walk and shop in stores they go to Tysons. I live in Arlington not too far from Ballston and never went there until it started turning into a food/entertainment destination. There’s now fun stuff to do with kids like 5 Wits and Immersive Gaming. You have to actually go in person to do those so it makes sense vs. stores that you can shop at online.

The garage is still the same as always and has remained just $1 for over a decade now, so I don’t know why OP complaining about that. It’s also easy to metro there.[/quote]

Same. We usually eat, see a movie, or do some kind of game thing there now.

The complaints about paying for parking are so weird. Maybe people who’ve never been there before? You have to pay to park at Crystal City mall too FYI. It’s common in dense area with limited parking. [/quote]

They changed it to a system where you have to pay in advance in an app. Most people were used to going in, getting a ticket, and paying a dollar on the way out. Many people thought that with the gates up it means it was going free for the day. The rework of the parking lot was terrible. [/quote]
