[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever said Tysons is the only place to shop and there is nothing in DC, this is BS.  I used to live in West End and never had any reason to go to Tysons.  I did most of my shopping in Gtown, there was never any lack of stores from clothes to furniture to gourmet foods to makeup/skincare.  If I really needed something specific that could only be found in a conventional mall, I'd take a metro to Pentagon or Friendship heights, easy.  What about people living in MD, do you think they will drive to Tysons?  Do you think people living in Mclean and Arlington drive all the way to Reston, just because it's a nice outdoor shopping mall?  No, people will go wherever it's the closest and most convenient.  Of course Tysons will boom because it is already crowded as is and it serves a lot of nearby suburbs.  But, it's not like people living in Bethesda would consider it a destination and would go there on regular basis, or someone living near Gtown, all of a sudden will get into their car to drive to Tysons to run their errands.

The Tysons parking lots always are full of cars with DC and Maryland plates.  People aren't buying milk there, but going to the region's best shopping malls with the widest selection of retailers.  That might not have been the case when there were more malls that were more or less the same, but there are just a handful of really vibrant enclosed malls here now, and Tysons is the best known.

I personally find malls claustrophobic, and don't frequent Tysons that often, but when I do go there I notice that the crowds are far more diverse than anything you'd come across in DC or Bethesda.  [/quote]
