Why Annandale?

Why did Asians choose Annandale? In the 80's, white people loved this place. By 2000, more store names were in Korean than English! So why did they pick that location? Asians are savvy enough. Surely there was a better kocation than Annandale.

It is very simple. Annandale residents stopped buying from neighborhood stores and went instead to nearby big box stores where prices were lower, or to malls with greater selection. Those neighborhood stores closed. Some Asian merchants were then attracted to the area by low rents. Asian customers started going there because there were several Asian businesses in one area. That encouraged more Asian businesses to locate there.

Crazy thing is there really isn't a large East Asian population in the immediate Annandale area.
