More data centers in Loudon instead of office parks ?
At least they wont generate additional traffic
- Greg
  
  Those data centers generate tons of tax revenue, require very few government services, bring us cheap electricity, and leave the social ills of “workforce” housing to Reston.
I Miss Karen

Any updates on the steps being rebuilt at Lake Anne Plaza, or the milling project on Wiehle? Or, is RN going to just continue copying and pasting articles and calling it journalism?
- OneReally
  
  Watch your tongue! They’re not that kind of journalist.
  - 2 centavos
    
    According to the greener pastures principle you should see more and more Herndon articles.
    
    Karen couldnt hold a candle to this new bred journal.

Oy, VY! We want, so badly, to straighten your Lincoln Logs aside your ghastly buildings every time we must endure seeing them.
- OneReally
  
  Amen.
