[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clarendon has literally nothing that makes me want to go there.

I heard so much hype about Ballston Quarter but when I went there it looked just like the mall.  Even still has the sad Macy’s.

The restaurants that are coming to Ballston overlap with Mosaic and I’d much rather go to Mosaic and walk around than hang out in an old mall on crowded streets filled with ugly buildings.[/quote]

Yeah but you have to drive half an hour to get to mosaic. They have a lot more real estate to do work with so it was a lot nicer[/quote]
Out side of the advantage of being able to do a target run I don't see much difference between Mosaic and Ballston. [/quote]

Mosaic was Fairfax County's version Clarendon.  When it opened in the mid-2010s, it was a stark departure from the way that Fairfax Country had previously approached development planning.  Today it feels like a larger version of Clarendon, and no one gives it a second thought.  But that just shows how far the area has come.

My question is why is Mosaic more successfully than Reston Town Center?  Both are similar, but I know people in Herndon who prefer to come to Mosaic rather than the much closer RTC...[/quote]
