Live and work in Reston VA.
Sorry... this is a long blog post with lots of pictures.
If you have no interest in jobs or Reston don't read it.
It has to be long to scratch the surface of the economic and natural beauty that can be found here.
You can get to all these offices easily by bicycle or internal commuter bus.
It is time you relocate to the US' first planned community and the hottest job market in the country...most of the world comes here too! Makes for great food!!!

OK. So you do not think that buildings are beautiful.

Oh, and in Reston we do not just line 'em up in ugly office parks.
Most buildings are hard to find since they are hidden by trees and sited high or low depending on the most aesthetic sight line.
We think of that sort of thing here.
