This fancy "judgmental map" of the Washington, D.C. Metro accurately describes the Virginia portion of the Silver Line as a wasteland cornucopia of malls, strip malls, fake malls, and bro-tastic Arlington neighborhoods featuring twentysomethings living nine-deep in $750,000 one-bedroom apartments. But for Reston? All they can come up with is a reference to our awesome gritty downtown Town Center, even though it's a zillion miles away from our (for now) one Metro stop. Even other snarky DC journo types have more accurately pinpointed the true object of ridicule within walking distance of Wiehle-Reston East: The McTacoHut.
See the full map here.
I found this to be pretty entertaining. Not at all offended by the Reston generalizations. Would be way more offended to be at a "missed your stop" stop.
