[quote=Anonymous]Some people want to move to the suburbs and get the nice big house, the top schools, and a highly convenient location along with some cute walkable retail blocks that will slightly remind them of a city neighborhood and make them feel better about living in the suburbs.

If this is you, remember:  McLean. Does. Not. Care. About. Your. Feelings.

Or, more accurately, the Montgomery family that owns three of the major strip malls in central McLean doesn't care about your feelings.  They'll redevelop their properties and take advantage of the up-zoning approved by the county when they are ready, not when you are ready.  Or maybe never, since most of their properties are leased and have paying tenants.

That's why it's best for people who live in McLean to never expect anything to change, and then just be pleasantly surprised when it does.

"We're getting a Chipotle?  Great."

"Chopt and Cava moved in?  Yeah."

"Santini's opened up?  Fine."

"Divan, that new Persian place?  Have to try it sometime."

"Matchbox is coming?  Sounds good."  [/quote]
