[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved from the Clarendon/Ballston corridor to McLean and our life in McLean is much better and less stressful.  Doing anything around Clarendon/Ballston was a traffic nightmare.  In McLean, despite the fact that we can’t walk many places, we spend probably 80% less time in the car.  We can get to multiple parks, multiple grocery stores, and multiple schools in under 7 minutes, whereas driving through Ballston/Clarendon took 2-4x as long due to traffic.[/quote]

Why were you driving if you lived in Clarendon?  We live here and walk everywhere except the pediatrician...[/quote]

I can’t imagine taking so much pride in largely confining oneself to one area in NoVa. It’s not like Clarendon is Paris. [/quote]

My company just moved to a building opposite the Clarendon Metro Station. The two restaurants in our building closed and at lunch there are maybe four to six people in any of the restaurants, even the decent ones like Maison Cheryl, Lyon Hall, Circa, and Liberty Tavern.  The stores are closing and being replaced by restaurants that the area can't support.  We live near Lee-Harrison Center and Westover, and both places have more people and energy.

I suppose Clarendon is okay for the young people who go to the bars but I was surprised at how lifeless it is during the week.[/quote]

Out of curiosity, are you comparing them at the same time of day?
