There was an interesting article in last Sunday’s Post about hopes for turning Tyson’s into the next Ballston. I do not see that happening, but that doesn’t mean putting the Metro underground through the area isn’t a good idea. At best, a post-Metro Tyson’s Corner could probably resemble Pentagon City a little bit. A more likely scenario is probably a series of “town centers” near the stations. Either way, this won’t happen immediately after the line gets built, but it could probably happen quicker than the development of the Orange and Blue lines in Arlington.

Also, I recommend you visit Hans Mast’s blog. Mast has been blogging an awful lot about the Tyson’s Metro situation.
