Isn’t that mixed use area in between Crystal City and Potomac Yard called National Landing? Or something similar?! The one with the Harris Teeter that flooded and then they rebuilt it?

Yeah, that's odd. Makes no sense, Crystal City sounds way cooler.


National Landing will be Crystal City, Pentagon City, and Potomac Yard (in Alexandria) CC will be PART of National Landing


I HATE crystal city's name. It sounds so dated. And sort of like a strip club.


Charles E Smith makes it after his daughter, Crystal.

What will this actually mean for those of us already living here? Has the area been promised anything by Amazon? Are we likely to see any improvements to QOL?

What an arrogant press release. They just calling the area "National Landing" as if it was always called that. Here's hoping the Dems get full control in 2020 and Amazon gets broken into a million pieces in an antitrust suit.

I am NOT CALLING IT NATIONAL LANDING!!! Seriously WTF.

Although I do always think of that Gram Parsons song about Vegas when I hear the name Crystal City.

Never! The culture is in DC. But at least all the lame NoVA people will stop telling people they live in DC.

Crystal City sounds like a strip club. National Landing isn't that bad.


National landing also sounds stripper-ish.


Maybe they came up with the name while eating steaks at the Crystal City Restaurant on 23rd.

20 years from now we'll be on a future DCUM-type forum saying, "Remember when National Landing was Crystal City?"
