Reston Town Center- a poor man's NY or just like Arlington?

It just doesn't have the pizazz of New York but is looking more and more like Arlington. Especially Good Eats and Lucky's. Passion Fish reminded me of Sequoia on a small scale. gotta do something about the curtain which blasts the afternoon sun and the kids screaming though.

I liked Reston Town Center when there was just a field nearby and the circus would pitch its tents.

That was pretty much the heyday of the Town Center. We had a fairly new and good Mexican food thing going there (Rio Grande), with scads of street level parking. Now is feels more like Reston Cram Center. Artificial "town" (more like open air "mall" environment) in the middle of nowhere. But not as "in the middle of nowhere" as Short Pump Town Center in the suburbs of Richmond.

New York? You can't be serious. It's not even close to Arlington. It's like Fairfax Town Center or Dulles Town Center or Pentagon Row. It's nothing more than a fancy strip mall with a phony "nouveau riche" feel.

It's like Tyson's Corner without "the charm."

It's not like Arlington at all. Arlington has different neighborhoods you can walk to. RTC is an office park with an outdoor shopping center in the middle of it.

No, Rod is an alias of Spunky. Same psychotic language and paranoid conspiracies.

We sincerely apologize for not being able to just shit out heavy rail lines and metro stations instantly for your enjoyment.

Excuse me amigo - but Sequoia is in the "real" Georgetown - not G'town South which is, in essence, attitude and ambiance, what the RTC is all about: a manufactured "town centre" in a manufactured community.

I was being sarcastic, hence "the quotes."

Oh, nevermind.

What community isn't "manufactured"? Do they all just build themselves?

If Reston wasn't planned, it would probably end up looking like Sterling or some awful mirage of Maryland.

BTW, RTC best resembles Glasgow, Scotland if you want an honest answer. The ages of the buildings are different, but the look is similar.

Sure, a major European city can compare to a cheesy glorified condo complex any day.
