[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have been in McLean/22101 for about 15 years. Housing stock has definitely gotten upgraded with more expensive homes in more neighborhoods. Retail was blah then and blah now, but there's a bit more variety. Schools are still good but overall confidence in FCPS leadership and basic competence has declined. [/quote] Way back when most of us were still kids, the architects who designed Seaside Florida and Kentlands (in Gaithersburg) proposed a massive overhaul of downtown McLean with shops, European/style streets with cafes and apartments above, offices, upscale retail, urban parks, and a town center or town green with community amenities. What the heck happened to that? That would’ve been amazing. Instead, downtown McLean looks the same—aging strip malls minus the Pizza Hut, Gourmet Giant, and Evan’s Farm Inn. [/quote]
