[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a DC resident, I cannot distinguish between Clarendon and Ballston.  They both seem like ugly stretches of heavy traffic with giant ugly buildings.  The only thing I noticed when I had to travel to Ballston over the summer several times for business there is how WHITE it is compared to the Orange/Silver line in the other direction that I usually take.

Not many giant in Clarendon.  Not sure what you're talking about.  [/quote]

Ok maybe not giant, but all indistinguishable and characterless on the street level. [/quote]

They are of a style, as are, say, all those Wardman rowhouses in DC.   They are conservative - in fact they are mostly trying to reference traditional prewar apt buildings in upper NW.  Which themselves were mostly not adventerous.   Yeah, you can find some more exciting architecture in some new buildings in EOTP DC.   But Clarendon and Ballston are still pretty much the most walkable places, most attractive from a pedestrian POV, of any parts of NoVa outside Old Town Alex. [/quote]
