What, with its swinging singles scene and the dude who will let you learn how to pick up chicks by living with him in his Reston Town Center condo, you'd think Reston would have developed a "rep," as the kids like to say, as a place for the single to mingle.
Not so. Money magazine just released its list of the "best places for the rich and single," and Herndon came in eighth in the country. Wait, what?
We'd understand if Herndon was on a list of best places for Minutemen to meet Minutewomen, but this is ridiculous. Here's what they have to say about our tolerant neighbor to the west:
You're likely to snag a tech whiz in Herndon: AOL, Accenture, Oracle, Microsoft and Verizon all have offices nearby in the area known as the Dulles Technology Corridor. Flirt with gym buffs at the health club or meet a fellow music fan at a jazz bar. On any given night at the local bars, you might encounter a trivia game, open mic night, a poker tournament or DJs and dancing.By way of "proof," Money chose this exciting photo to showcase Herndon's swinging singles scene:
Wow. We stand corrected. It's kind of like Studio 54 in the 1970s, only substituting the rope line for an American flag.
Things could be worse, though. At least Ashburn wasn't on the list. But Arlington was ranked #2 for rich singles, though that's most likely for its gangsta cred.
