Many years ago, I worked for an ad agency in LA. Our clients were luxury brands like Tiffany and Cartier. While developing advertising plans to support their retail stores, “Tyson’s” was always a key market for the client. Since I had never lived in the DC area, I envisioned a super luxurious Beverly Hills / Rodeo Drive type shopping area, our perhaps an outdoor shopping center like Fashion Island. When I moved to DC five years ago, I was so excited to finally see Tysons! I drove around and around, thinking there was some hidden gem of a high street/shopping area that I kept missing. Nope, Tysons is just a convergence of highways, strip malls  and parking lots.  I just couldn’t believe the disconnect between my perception and the reality of Tyson’s. [/quote]

Tysons isn't a neighborhood or a community. There are only apartment buildings/condos there. The people who live near Tysons live in Vienna, Pimmit, Falls Church and frankly avoid the Tysons Corner area like the plague unless they work there.. [/quote] So you think apartment and condo dwellers can’t be considered part of a community? [/quote]

Yeah, they're typically transient and only live there for a few years. Definitely not a ton of families in those, PP, and you know it.[/quote]
