  Tamra: How did Reston get its name…from being a restful place to live? How come its design is so unusual? Steve: No Tamra, Reston is a peaceful place to live…but the name Reston was derived from the initials of Robert E. Simon, the man behind the outstanding design, vision, and creation of Reston. That is a sculpture of him above sitting on a bench a Lake Anne Center.         I will write about the history of Reston from time to time, since it is an intriguing topic for anyone interested in real estate development and the thought process that goes into designing a livable community…rather then just slapping up some buildings, selling them and running off to do it again somewhere else. The following quote is from the Washington Post 2004: “Robert E. Simon Jr. is the pioneer behind the...

  Reston History: Where is the Reston Museum?           Sue: What suggestions do you have for how to spend a few hours on Saturday afternoon in Reston? I like discovering the history of things, by the way.                           Steve: Well Sue, how about the history of Reston? Head on down to the Reston Museum at Lake Anne Plaza, just off Baron Cameron (Route 606).   Afterwards, you can sit bench-ingly with the good looking founder of Reston with a water view backdrop. *You can see an actual video interview that I did with the statue of Robert E. Simon right here*   Sue: Is the Reston Museum where you get some of your historical insight?                       Steve: Actually Sue, several years ago, the one time I did not check a historical reference found on line through the Reston...

Once upon a time, a little girl would set out regularly from her home to the local shopping plaza. It was within close walking distance and she was allowed to go there by herself or with a friend. This shopping plaza was a wonderful place, filled with many different stores, fountains, food and friends. It was really the center of the community--and her world. She would spend her money on candy at the drug store, jewelry at Pier One Imports, jeans at the Pants Corral (or something similar) and Little House on the Prairie Books from the Hallmark. One day she went off to college and in her humanities course, Fine Arts, she came upon a photo of the shopping plaza of her childhood. It turns out that this shopping plaza, Washington Plaza in the Lake Anne section of Reston, Virginia  (now call...
