greaterrestonliving Happy (belated) National Retro Day, Reston and Herndon. 📻 Here’s a little throwback tour through the neighborhoods we know today, from old street views and early snapshots to the classic R.I.B.S. bus days. It’s wild to see how much has changed and how much still feels familiar. Do you recognize any of these spots or have a favorite “remember when” photo from around town? 📸 Want weekly Reston news + events?

greaterrestonliving A piece of Reston history is officially on the market. This is the historic Bowman Distillery building, and it actually started life as the Wiehle Town Hall back in the 1890s, long before Reston was Reston. 🏛️ It’s located just off Sunset Hills near Old Reston Avenue, in the area that used to be called Wiehle. If you’ve ever driven by and thought, “That building feels older than everything around it,” you’re right. Why it matters locally: this is one of the clearest physical links to the pre-Reston story. It’s a rare landmark that reminds you this place had a whole chapter before the planned community era. Who this is for: local history people, architecture nerds, Reston longtime residents, and honestly anyone who likes the idea of preserving character while still letting a place evolve. What to expect: the exterior is protected as a historic landmark, and any future buyer will need to work through zoning and approvals to match their vision. The best-case future is an adaptive reuse that keeps the history visible, while giving it a new purpose. 🧱✨ Practical tip: if you want to see it in person, treat it like a landmark, not an attraction. Enjoy it from public areas, and don’t assume the site is open to visitors. 🚶 Practical tip: for photos and video, golden hour makes the brick and details pop, and traffic is usually calmer earlier in the day on weekends. 📸 #restonva #wiehle #restonhistory #NorthernVirginia Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

It’s the kind of place that feels like an exhale the second you walk in. ⠀ One thing the owner said really stayed with me: where do you go where all your layers are acknowledged. Not just the physical layer, but the mental, social, and emotional layers too. That’s the heartbeat of this sanctuary, and it matters locally because Reston can feel fast paced, even when we’re surrounded by nature. Having a place like this nearby makes it easier to build calm into your actual routine. ⠀ Who it’s for: total beginners, seniors, anyone who needs to stay seated, and also the folks who want a stronger flow (they have options like Vinyasa and Karma Flow). They even offer classes that incorporate resistance bands, plus other services like massage therapy. ⠀ What to expect: a welcoming community vibe, a big lounge to gather before and after class (puzzles, books, and a live moss wall), and a space designed to feel peaceful, with natural elements like Shenandoah stone and warm wood details. ⠀ Practical tips: book through their online schedule before you go and double check details day of. If it’s your first visit, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you can settle in without rushing. 🫖 Comment “Namaste” and follow each of our pages to be entered to win one of three giveaway prizes: a CamelBak stainless steel water bottle, a cork yoga mat, or the grand prize, a full month of unlimited sessions at Beloved Yoga. 🧘‍♀️✨🌿 ⠀ #RestonVA #RestonWellness #HerndonVA #NorthernVirginiaWellness ⠀ Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?
