[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ballston Commons came along at some point but it wasn’t ever booming that I can remember. It was odd. Kind of almost rarely known of for anything in particular. It always had such an odd vibe. [/quote] Ballston Commons is the most recent iteration of the original Parkington, given the name because of its attached parking garage. Hecht's was the anchor store on a triangle between Wilson Blvd and Glebe Rd. The facade had tall windows, and the store spelled community messages with individual letters in each window: School's Open-Drive Safe; Happy Easter; Santa Claus arrives on Dec 1. There was a very good Chinese/Hawaiian restaurant with a long drinks menu. One drink was a "Suffering Bastard," and it had the tagline: "Name Bad, Drink Good." [/quote]
