That's very low and translates into rents at only $20/sq.ft. If some of the purchase price is ascribed to the vacant land, the rents are even lower.<br /><br />This does not portend well for the impact of Metro on values for real estate in Reston.<br /><br />Any one know if this was a short sale?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-67759104254573641682012-05-31T16:16:41.074-04:002012-05-31T16:16:41.074-04:00Well, it's not exactly a "free" juic...Well, it's not exactly a "free" juice/smoothie once a week for a year. If my calculations are correct, the "donation" amounts to $96.15 a smoothie -- if they can last a year. It's mighty cold and lonely on Lake Anne in the Winter -- I'm just saying.Buffalonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-16490037687272017742012-05-31T15:55:00.677-04:002012-05-31T15:55:00.677-04:00Makes you wonder what other Reston-based businesse...Makes you wonder what other Reston-based businesses are bartering for to stay in business:<br /><br />I heard that Northrup Grumman is offering to name its famed RQ-4 Global Hawk - an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) - after the first Restonian that will donate $10,000,000,000 to charge up its corporate Starbucks Rewards Gold Card.<br /><br />Sprint is offering to drop its monthly 4g service charge, you know, the 4g service charge for the 4g service that doesn't even work here, in exchange for translations service provided by a illegal immigrant Restonian originally from Atlanta, Georgia that speaks High Income Redneck, which is the native language of Loudoun County, so as to explain to Sprint customers of Loudoun County why their service puttered out last week.<br /><br />http://www.leesburgtoday.com/news/article_f2e041c8-a5cb-11e1-9dbe-001a4bcf887a.htmlMean Daddy Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-82342818118353710102012-05-31T13:02:11.117-04:002012-05-31T13:02:11.117-04:00"artisanal leather wallets" -- for shame..."artisanal leather wallets" -- for shame, Restonian! Leather is made from animals and as such is cruel and unusual and simply not to be endured, used or enjoyed!<br /><br />Of course the substitutes you might want to use are made from horrible chemicals that ruin our environment, so those are out of the scheme too.<br /><br />Cloth? Well, not if it's produced using sweatshop labor in China ... or New York City.<br /><br />Hmm...perhaps we can use bollards as money -- kind of like the giant Yap coin that used to grace the Encyclopedia Brittanica (RIP) article about money!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
