| Annandale, VA | TOP OF PAGE |
Annandale is bustling these days. For the past several years, the Annandale Central Business District (CBD) Planning Committee, Fairfax County, and the State of Virginia have been working with Annandale's civic and business community to improve the area known as the Annandale Village Center. Tasteful entryway signs surrounded by seasonal plantings mark the boundaries of the central business district. Annandale Tollhouse Park, designed by the Fairfax County Park Authority, is prominently located at the intersection of Annandale Road and Little River Turnpike and ties Annandale's future improvements. The park site is near the location of one of the first tollhouses along this early turnpike, and historic marker has been placed as a reminder of the historic significance of the location.
Teams of engineers and landscape architects currently are designing road and streetscape improvements to Columbia Pike and Little River Turnpike. Overhead utility wires will be placed underground in the future along these two important central business district roads. Stylish and functional benches, trash receptacles, lighting and the like will combine with colorful shrub and tree plantings to create a distinctive image for the CBD. These improvements will expedite traffic circulation in central Annandale as well as create a new and distinctive image for the village center. One key in the development of this new image is the creation of a recognizable symbol for Annandale's center. A special logo has been developed, picturing a bird in a tree. It is being used to promote this special place we call the Annandale Village Center. The Central Business District Planning Committee has adopted the logo for use in their efforts, and the logo appears at the entryway to the tollhouse park and on various publications and brochures. Several businesses use it in their advertisements and the Broyhill Crest Civic Association includes it in its annual directory. Repetition of this symbol within and around the community reinforces a cohesive marketing image and contributes to community pride. Camera-ready copies of the logo are available in the Chamber office.
Regular "Clean-Ups" are held in downtown Annandale as the entire community joins forces with the Virginia Department of Transportation, Clean Fairfax, and the Annandale CBD Planning Committee to keep Annandale neat and clean. Annandale's merchants recently have enjoyed a "Business Recognition" program. Selected businesses are given a special "thank you" for giving a little extra to the community. Look for recognition stickers proudly displayed in the window of your favorite business. It acknowledges that special "extra" that they contributed to the community.
The group responsible for spearheading these improvements and activities is the Annandale Central Business District Planning Committee. Working closely with Mason District Supervisor Penelope A. Gross, Braddock District Supervisor Sharon Bulova, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Fairfax County Commercial Revitalization Program, the Committee consists of business owners & managers, commercial property owners, local residents, and the Annandale Chamber of Commerce. The group won honorable mention in the Virginia "Take Pride in America" contest in 1991 for its work in and dedication to the Annandale community.

| Reston, VA | TOP OF PAGE |
Reston, is known nationally and internationally as one of the first planned communities in the United States. Long before its development, the land on which Reston is built had a distinguished history. It belonged to the descendants of Lord Fairfax until 1848. In the 1880s, Dr. C.A. Wiehle bought the land and began a planned community based on the 19th century German models. Several buildings were constructed, but Dr. Wiehle's untimely death meant the end of his town. In 1927, the A. Smith Bowman family became the next landowners. Following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Bowman's founded a distillery and created the famous Virginia Gentleman and Fairfax County bourbons.
Early in 1961, Robert E. Simon bought Sunset Hills from the Bowman family with the proceeds of the sale of New York's Carnegie Hall. Acquainted with the garden city movement in England and the United States, Simon envisioned developing a place where people could live, work and play. To fulfill the dream, he founded Reston. The first part of Reston, the Lake Anne Village Center, officially opened in 1965. Today, Reston is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the 1970s, the U.S. Geological Survey moved its headquarters to Reston and became one of its largest employers. Today, thousands of firms-many of these technology firms-are located in Reston.
Reston came of age with the opening of the Reston Town Center on October 18, 1990. The town square includes a luxury hotel; high-end retail shops; restaurants; the Fountain Square recreation complex, which also hosts such events as ice-skating and festivals; twin 11-story office buildings; and a cinema complex.
Recognized as one of the great landmarks of the "new town" movement, Reston attracts tourists from around the world.
