Dev Technology Group of #Reston Virginia awarded a $65 Million #DHS services contract shortly after #DJT admin purges leadership of many internal #HomelandSecurity depts, particularly affecting female staffers. The contract is for managing data about #SEVIS, a data monitoring program used to track US #students.

Stopped by Petsmart Reston for aquarium supplies (j/k, it’s always cat food) and see the cat adoption center is housing Hurricane Helene refugees. If Figaro hadn’t already locked in his spot with us, Jesse here might’ve had a shot at joining the clowder. If anyone’s thinking about adopting a cat, now’s the time to find one in need.

Another shot of Lake Anne Village with Halo posing in front of the Virginia is for Lovers giant LOVE sign, all decked out for Pride. The sign is sitting at the foot of the lake, which is Lake Anne's namesake, surrounded by outdoor shops and dining in contemporary 1960s architecture, looking just the same as I remember it did in the 70s when I was a little kid.

Photo of a black and white Bernedoodle sitting up like a very good boy in front of a giant LOVE sign. Inside the rainbow colored O is the state's motto, Virginia is for Lovers. Behind the sign is the lake, which is Lake Anne Village's namesake, surrounded by 1960s contemporary architecture.

Drove down to Northern Virginia for my Mom's birthday. Spent this afternoon having lunch with friends in Lake Anne Village, which is where I used to go to daycare when I was really little, and it's funny how much I remember of it. It looks almost exactly the same.

Right after my brother snapped this photo of me and my Mom, we noticed the sign we were sitting under, which talks about the history of this place, which is now a National Landmark (explaining how it still looks so much the same!), and then, just to the right (outside of photo) we realized is the entrance to the daycare center I attended! Under a new name, but still there. Pretty neat!

Photo of me and my Mom, with my pup Halo in between us. We're sitting in front of a historic sign with a little history of the area. It reads,

RESTON
A "NEW TOWN"
In 1961, Robert E. Simon Jr. began developing 6,750 acres of Sunset Hills Farms as a community open to all races, ages, and incomes. Working with Simon, the architectural firm of Whittlesey & Conklin designed a "New Town." Construction of Lake Anne Village, it's lake, central plaza, stores, and townhouses, began in 1963. With innovative zoning, Reston became one of the first master-planned communities in the United States with residential clusters, mixed use development, landscape conservation, ample recreational space, walking and biking trails, and public art. Reston received the American Institute of Vertified Planners National Landmark award in 2002.

Spotted two red-shouldered hawks in the back yard. #Reston #RestonVA

My first time participating in the #30DayMapChallenge. Using this time to learn to create new styles and viz based on John Nelson's map hacks for ArcPro. I’m also working on creating more meaningful ALT text for accessibility. Happy Mapping all!

Reston Town Center. Love the 90s style architecture for some of the buildings, I wish I knew what the style of architecture is called.

@flashflood_bot Every time I see #Reston, I think of #Ebola (none now) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/25-years-ago-in-virginia-a-very-different-ebola-outbreak/

Enjoyed the most amazing meal tonight at the wine bar at Lake Anne Coffee House. Sounds weird, I know, but their cuisine is locally sourced and top notch. Their summer menu features a watermelon curry with black rice that I had to try. My wife enjoyed a mushroom risotto made with cashew cream. Both are plant-based and delicious.
