Wow! what a nice change! i have not been back since 2011; Looks pretty clean shot, Mike! you are driving me back the Tysons; making me miss the bittersweet days in Virginia! Good day from Houston!
I cannot believe you managed to create a 28 minute video of Tysons Corner. That's talent. Anyway, at the intersection of International Drive and Chain Bridge Road, or 8:29, you can see the Washington National Cathedral in the northerly direction. In the video, that would be if you turned left on Chain Bridge Road.
Thank you VERY VERY much ! I left Reston in 1993 and so much missing there, but now comfort thirst from your video. Back that time, there were lots of deer at night and I often hit the road to watch wild animals during the night. Thanks again~! From Vancouver, Canada.
When I was a kid living in Falls Church in the late 60's and early seventies my friends and I would go to Tysons Corner. Back then there was just one Tysons Mall and you had a parking lot, no garages. Was at Tysons with relatives in 1995 and even then I hardly recognized the place.
This area of Northern VA is VERY expensive. Homes start in the millions on average. Condos and townhouses start at 500K on avarage. Condo fees can be as high as a mortgage in a small town. Good luck!!
Hmm, a modern and clean downtown but very spread out though! You can see cluster of buildings here and there but without a central core. (Kind of a smaller version of New York's Fifth Avenue.) 😊
Always claimed beautiful McLean Tysons corner Great falls I went to school in that area happy to be happy to be from there I'm hoping to relocate I'm still just maybe 30 or 15 minutes away but I loved it going to school there and the Tysons corner mall I I worked in the mall when I was a teenager and it is nice
@@breckrichardson390 this isnt really my idea of suburban this is more urban to me when I think of suburban I think of houses that look the same all lined up together white picket fences and water sprinklers things on the grass not tall office buildings this place looks more like a business district of an inner city 2 me
@@MileageMikeTravels Both directions are gorgeous and have their own unique views. If I had to choose one I thought was better I would probably choose westbound.

Apparently you've never been to Atlanta. Also, Tyson's Corner is not a city, it's a census-designated unincorporated community. Atlanta is a metropolitan city, like L.A. Chicago, New York City, Dallas.. etc.
Tysons really is a snapshot of poor city-planning. Trying to build a community around a bunch of highways, essentially. They've been trying to slap a bandage on the wound by putting in some pedestrian-friendly bits, but it's WAY too little and WAY too late. As an adult, I found walking around there to be a terrifying mess. I can't even imagine if I had kids. No wonder kids don't go outside to play. If I lived there, and didn't visit via the nearby Metro stop, I'd probably drive to everything, even if it were just on the other side of Tysons, even though the whole area would only take like 15 minutes to cross, if there were safe pedestrian paths. Anyway, it's a nice video. Just a reminder of why I avoid Tysons and how frustrating it is that we build for cars first, for people last.
They will have to downgrade surrounding roads except 267 and 495. Widening the sidewalks, reducing lanes adding bike/bus lanes, parking spaces. And adding more cross walks. Then you'll have another bethasa, silver springs and Arlington.
The whole city is based on the mall and office buildings. Now they're building a lot of residential & trying to turn it into a "real city." Tysons is about as bland & boring as you can get.
tysons is so unbelievably boring and soulless its such a mess of a city. its trying to hard to be a business park. not walkable at all. if the mall wasnt here then the city would have no growth at all
Growing slowly but surely .

they have a plan to urbanize the whole "city" and will finish in 2050 the pockets of urbanism you see is what has been built so far

Tyson's corner looks like a very generic anywhere USA city.
That's beautiful
Yes indeed!
The town is beautiful. Love to move there.
Oh no you wouldn't! Suburban nightmare. No one wants to be caught tgere during the very long rush hour.
Oh wow!
I don’t like the city life. But I do like in the country side.
It's actually a census designated place technically not a town look it up

Is that the home of Tyson chicken?
11:36, the Toilet Bowl building!
Beatyfull place
Tysons Corner is a place to be
👍👍👍👍👍
Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered filming US-48 in West Virginia?
I haven't looked at it yet. Is it a scenic route in terms of the mountains and such? Doesn't look like many towns along the route.
@@MileageMikeTravels Yes, US-48 is a gorgeous mountain drive.
Do you recommend eastbound or westbound? I plan to hit some of the mountain areas later this year. I wouldn't mind checking it out.
@@MileageMikeTravels Both directions are gorgeous and have their own unique views. If I had to choose one I thought was better I would probably choose westbound.

Tysons is meh especially with all the traffic and poor configuration of pedestrian paths but will be an absolute city in 10 years from now.
What are they planning to do over the next 10 years?

Well, except parking. No more parking.

i think its better than it was a decade ago
Better.
@corey Babcock How so?
Only place to add hi rises since DC and Arlington has height limit issues.
An overgrown featureless office park. Even the street names are generic.
If you think that then you clearly haven’t been to Tysons.
@@rxspects.5623 But I HAVE been there.
@@rxspects.5623 you’re delusional
Correct
This place absolutely sucks
its around here - cant get proper service - lots of talk back ...
