A Restonian World Exclusive: First Photos of Tall Oaks Compare Foods

IMG_0593.JPG

At incredible personal risk, Restonian operative "Joel" sent us this exciting spy camera-like shot of the interior of the possibly soon-to-be-opened Compare Foods supermarket at Tall Oaks Shopping Center, where shelves have been stocked with nonperishable items following an earlier kerfluffle involving permits.

Why, you may ask, do we care? Mainly to have another excuse to post a video like this:



Sigh. We miss "Susie de los Santos."

  4. Bob Simon would never have said that. He's 95 and a gentleman. The link goes to the Simon Childcare Center, anyway. This is a gross misrepresentation!

  5. Who is using Bob Simon's name in these Comments? The link shown here goes to the preschool that bears his name. It's shameful and abusive!

  6. Hey there is a great spice rack section in all Compare stores. Maybe Bob Simon is a foodie?

  7. I think ole Bob's kinda freaky - he does wear that "Hey I'm a Freaky Ole Guy" hat. Ole Bob was tripping in The Village Loooooong before there was a Reston.

  8. I've never been to Reston but it may be sleepy enough for me to lay low for a while on the East Coast. Bob, how much per month at Heron House for a 1BR?
