[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again for the people in the back…

MoCo is on a different timeline than NoVa. You can’t compare two markets that are in vastly different stages of growth. Nova was empty land while MoCo was booming so of course Nova is still growing while Moco is maturing. [/quote]

Old Town and Del Ray are as old as anything in Montgomery County. George Washington literally hung out in Alexandria for goodness sake and went to restaurants there that are still open today.

Established?! What are you talking about?[/quote]

All the growth is NOT in Del Ray. It’s in Tysons. A place that didn’t exist 50 years ago. [/quote]

Have you been to Alexandria’s waterfront in the past 2 years or seen the transformation of Potomac Yards? Have you seen how nice it looks from the Arlington border on Route 1 to Old Town compared to 30 years ago? A new Metro station in Del Ray isn’t development? The entire Mt Vernon Ave strip becoming one of the nicest commercial strips in the area in the past 30 years isn’t development? The skyrises from King Street to Eisenhower Avenue Metro isn’t development?

These places are not even close to Tysons. And again, Alexandria was “established” in the 1700s when George Washington was walking around Old Town and Montgomery County barely even had farms. [/quote]
