[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Herndon in the 80s-90s.  I remember:

When going from Herndon to Tyson's took only 15-20 min by car on Rt. 7, and there was no Toll road.
The only movie theater in town was a 50 cents a ticket one in Dranesville (Herndon/Sterling), and the movie was at least a year old.  You had to go to Tyson's to see a new release.
There was no Cascades Pkwy, Loundon Greenway, Reston Town Center, or Worldgate Cinema
I worked at Hechinger as a cashier--loved it.
Eating at Bob's Big Boy in Reston for brunch, or at Friendly's on Elden St. (there's a Pollo Campero there now--that pretty much sums it up.)
When Herndon Parkway didn't go all the way around town.
Eating Jerry's Subs with my sister after high school in the shopping center near my house.
Listening to and loving the GREASEMAN on DC101, and WAVA 105.1 was the cool station for a while, as was WPGC 95.5 which is still around but not really for my demographic anymore.
The 1983 Redskins superbowl win over the Dolphins (27+17=44 John Riggins number, whohooo!)
1984 superbowl loss to the Raiders
etc, etc etc....[/quote]
