[quote=Anonymous]I was telling someone who used to work in Reston years ago that now that his son is going to attend Georgetown, he should check out the hellish development that has been unleashed in northern va. I grew up in Arlington and have slowly watched its blandification as a routine visitor to the area. Rosslyn is representative of the glittering towers of nowheresville architecture that every aspiring city features. And then the drive on 495 just across the Potomac one is greeted by more nowheresville suburban office park architecture rising in the Tyson Vienna area. NOVA has been taking the corporate energy that should have been concentrated in DC which is a clever way to maximize the tax base but uglifies NOVA with commuter highways bisecting office buildings. There is no civic life in these places. In contrast, the poky 80s little office buildings in Bethesda seem weirdly charming.[/quote]
