'Restown' Graffiti: A Rallying Cry, or Just Poor Spelling? An Exclusive Restonian Investigation

Restown graffiti
Confidential Restonian Operative "Diane" sent us this shocking cellular telephone photo of graffiti in the pedestrian tunnel under Baron Cameron Avenue. So many questions... is this intended to be a symbolic rejection of force-fed development by county officials and a rallying cry for stronger local governance, borrowing a catch phrase adopted by pro-incorporation activists years ago, fighting against the subtle sewage-laced leverage Fairfax County used to keep our favorite earth-toned community from becoming a town in its earliest days? Could this be a sign that the Res-TOWN folks are secretly rallying in the earth-toned shadows? Could this seemingly random graffiti be the "Kuato lives" of Reston?

Or could the taggers just be really crappy spellers? We may never know, the end.

  1. Town or not, this is a sign for the future of urban decay. We should get used to it

    or not...

    1. Maybe we should tell Hudgins, "You're terminate, f%$#&er.""

  2. As our 'burgs Baby Boomers age, maybe that grafitti should updated from "Restown" to "Resthome".

  3. Is Tyler Durden out there, somewhere, seeking VENGEANCE?
    Maybe this is the beginning...of the end.

  4. Does anyone at "Restonian" know what is going on at the Reston Patch? I love that website, and I have heard it is one of the more successful of the patches. I liked McVeigh as the editor. He was doing a good job.
