[quote=Anonymous][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]

It opened in 1986 iirc. We had recently moved to Arlington. They gave holiday gifts if you bought a certain amount in the mall...we got a Time to Shop! mug I still use at Christmas and a silverplated round tray I use for cards.

I liked Ballston Common well enough. Walked through it twice a day going to Metro and home. Penneys had good towels and sheets. Macys always was creepy. Hechts was better.

We played putter golf a couple of times at a miniature golf course catty corner from Bill Peck Chevrolet..the building on the corner now has blue triangle trim as an homage to Peck.

Macy's  moved into the  Hechts building  after that chain closed.  Hecht's was there during the heyday of Parkington when the mall was much nicer and then all of the stores became creepy.  [/quote]
