the arrival of dulles spawned the entire international business complex in the reston area.

you cute guys should go fly out of LHR a few times, then CDG. i also have not had a lot of fun at jfk.
Airport-drop much?

Many, many, many of us cute guys (I being the cutest) have flown out of LHR and CDG and JFK too many times to count. But that's irrelevant.

This thread is about IAD, not a comparison to DCA (and many of us remember that hellhole, but this isn't about that), or LHR (still a hellhole, even with T5), or CDG (yes, hellhole), or JFK (its own special hellhole) or spawning business in the Reston corridor. It's about IAD, which is a disgrace.
