The things on this list are malls, not “town centers.” I don’t think a mall built to look like a fake town is the same thing.

There’s good ones like One Loudoun or Reston and crappy ones like Stone Bridge in Woodbridge.

Town centers in Columbia? You mean strip malls? Strip malls don't make town centers.

None. All of the Towne Centers around here are Potemkin villages.

There are some good town center areas in Loudoun County, but that doesn't seem to be what you are looking for. Brambleton comes to mind, as well as the communities adjacent to the new silver line stops.

What do you think about Pike and Rose or Silver Spring.
