What about Taste of Tysons?

I've heard that Tysons Corner is either the 12th or 14th largest city in the country, by # people, Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm. That's pretty big. However, that's also a lot of depreciation or shrinkage, or any other fun term for smaller, during the off hours. I konw there are a lot of things planned to alter the landscape and make Tysons Corner more of a destination. Much more than people just going to the mall.

Events that involve a large part of the community can be a lot of fun. There should be a bunch of events like that in Tysons Corner. And they should occur every year. One event that I know people have a lot of fun at in Arlington, is the Taste of Arlington. There are lots of restaurants, big ones and small ones, and all types of ethnic food. There are also a multitude of entertainment acts from within the community. And last but not least there is even a program of events and activities for families and children. It is a really good community event for all ages and tastes.

I know that there are many terrific restaurants in Tysons Corner. Let's have the Taste of Tysons Corner. It would be a great way to create community here in one of the premier destinations in DC. Shoot, I'm hungry just thinking about it.
