[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You couldn't pay me a million dollars a year to live in Reston. Especially if I worked downtown. I'd rather live in someone's garage in AU Park before I lived in Reston. I've only heard bad things. And Reston town centr does suck. On the other hand it does have the chain restaurant staples. So yes I'm the DC elitist snob. [/quote]

So, I ask again - why the hell are you even bothering to post?  I don't go into posts about downtown neighborhoods and start slamming them with my lack of insider knowledge.

What exactly sucks about the Town Center?  The fact that it ISN'T downtown and some trendy place you can brag to all your friends about?  Please, get the eff over yourself...[/quote]

I've been to Reston Town Center on multiple occasions and I am a city snob, plus it is a long drive for us.  But it is a convenient place to meet up with our friends who live in far away burbs and it is nice to have a place like this out there.  It is definitely million times better than some collection of strip malls or a standard covered mega mall.  I definitely prefer it to something like Tysons if I had to go to the suburbs to shop, dine, etc.

The problem with this place is that it is super crowded and often the wait for the restaurants is very long, over an hour is not uncommon during popular times.  It also features overcrowded parking garages and swarm of of people on the sidewalks.  The last time I went to Reston, I swear the number of people walking around is comparable to something like Manhattan because of overcrowding.  That was also the night we were quoted 1.5 hour wait at most popular restaurants.  The problem is that there is nothing else like it around and people actually want these types of places and there just isn't enough of them.  So, it seems like the entire suburban population of DC metro congregates there, as it is the only destination and place to go.  As a contrast DC trendiest neighborhoods don't feel nearly as crowded to me because people who live close have more choices where to go.  [/quote]
