Bollards!
Here's why Al Gore invented the Twitters:
You'd think 160 characters, mostly typed with thumbs and elbows while people are stuck in traffic on Reston Parkway, would scarcely suffice to capture the zeitgeist of our favorite earth-toned real estate development. But you'd be wrong.
For starters, you can totally find free stuff people are just giving away!
34 Free Floppy Disks (Reston, VA): 34 previously used but now clean assorted floppy disks.Or if you still have one of those, whazzitcalled, "jobs" and some modicum of disposable income, you can go a bit more uptown:
Tibetan Wedding Tent for SaleOther Twitterers share valuable fashion tips:
Story of my life! RT @bkreilly i need to remember it is ALWAYS windy in reston (and therefore shouldn't wear wrap dresses), eeek!Still others apparently catch things we totally missed:
There's a giant monster robot marching through the streets of Reston. He's going to kill us all.(im not the only one who hears this, right?)And others are completely clueless:
Accenture has asked me if I'd be Ok with moving to Reston, VA by mid-november. Is Reston near DC?Here's an unintentional rebuttal:
I think claiming Short Pump as Richmond is like claiming Reston as Washington DC.Some people need to get out of Reston a bit more often:

The more I think about that new reston.com the more irate I become that the image on the left is of Las Vegas. Who made that website?
ReplyDeleteHaha. Loves it. Reston.com is such a crappy web site. You know they're just in it for advert money and don't give a hoot about anything else.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the new Reston.com look is just as bad as the old one.
ReplyDeleteReston.com is run by a company that owns the URLs to similar scrapeware "city sites" in such diverse locales as Albany, Hilton Head Island, and Park City, Utah. Oddly, they don't have a site in Vegas, which is what makes that craptacular piece of clip art all the more baffling.
ReplyDeleteReston.com changed the vegas picture to guess what, A PICTURE OF TOWN CENTER (from what I can tell) , the people willed it!
ReplyDeleteI think all comments here should be 140 characters or fewer.
ReplyDeleteI tweet therefore I aren't
