This is a pair of office blocks in my urban neighborhood, "Tysons Corner." 50 years ago this was rural farmland with a gas station at a crossroads, which is the "corner." Now it is constantly under construction. These buildings are probably from the 70s or 80s. Once the Metro had a stop in this place new buildings linking to it are popping up like mushrooms, though at the moment things are going slower than usual due to the Recent Unpleasantness. A couple of posts back I noted that it's hard to find a parking space to do a drawing; this one's a good example. I thought posting it was worthwhile anyway. A lot of secret government stuff goes on in Tysons Corner but I have never been stopped for trespassing.
