- Local every day in
Surely by now you have seen the viral videos making the rounds. There is "[Stuff] Yogis Say" and "[Stuff] Jewish Mothers Say" and "[Stuff] New Yorkers Say," to name a few.
Before we break out our video camera and eavesdrop from Hunters Woods to Northpoint, we thought we would make up a printed list of our own. Feel free to add your own snippets in the comments below the story. We'll give a Starbucks card to the response that is so totally Reston.
... They go to Terraset. Yes, the school in the hill
...the Farmers Market..
... table at Jacksons

\\Standing in RTC I am so sick of all of these chains. I wish there was some more local establishments in Reston.
\\Standing at Lake Anne God, I wish the Apple store was closer. I need a charger for my phone.

The <insert name> supermarket at Tall Oaks didn't fail because it's a bad location, they failed because they didn't carry the products their customers wanted to buy.

It's the size of a city, but it's not one, nor is it a town, but rather it's a community.

I love the "I saw it on Reston Patch" because I say that all the time - my husband thinks I'm obsessed with Patch ;-)

With all due respect, Mr. Butts, I've eaten at Ledo and I'm pretty sure you're the only one who has ever said that.

"We just don't DO that in Reston."
"Where are you from originally?"
"Let's meet at the fountain."
"I'll swing by the shelter to drop that off that donation after I get the library books I have on hold."
"Is that off Sunrise Valley or Sunset Hills?"

Is it gluten-free?
No, we're registered for both kids' triathlons.
Umm, it's pronounced "wheel- e."

"I live three blocks from one!" (Chipotle, Apple Store, Uncle Julio's, Anthropologie, Sephora, Trader Joe's, etc.)
"Oh, we've got one of those here. It's pretty close. I walk there."

Wait, RTC isn't part of RA?
Does RCA run RCC or the other way around?
What the heck is special tax district 5?
Can you swim in the lakes?
Is that DRB approved?
We love the farmers' market.
They should put a ________________ at Lake Anne

Are you going to Best of Reston?
We are volunteering at the Shelter this week, food pantry next week, wait your don't know Reston Interfaith is THE organization helping our neighbors in need. Yes we have people in need in Reston.
Of course we have a shelter, we also have affordable housing that is how we roll. Reston is the epitome of diversity.

Thanks for playing, everyone! (and feel free to continue adding).
We have two winners - Dianne Rose for mentioning party barges, and Ann Schindler for mentioning that Reston has no cemetery. How could I have forgotten those two things?
Send me your postal mail addresses (to kareng@patch.com) and I will mail you your Starbucks cards.

So exciting! Thanks for the Starbucks card! I think I'll kayak over to South Lakes Center for a latte as soon as the weather warms up.
