Almost sixty years ago, Robert Simon signed off on this checklist of suggestions for new townhouses in Reston, evidence that he liked to be involved in everything, even door placement. We'll let you decide whether or not your bath and kitchen qualify as "sexy".
And while you're at it, mark your calendars for the 2026 Reston Home Tour on October 17th to check out some of those "sexy" bathrooms and kitchens yourself! 😉
Join us at the Reston Museum on Saturday, June 20, from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM for a special opportunity to meet hometown music sensation RDGLDGRN. Known for their energetic performances and international success, this Reston-grown band has built a loyal following around the world while staying connected to the community where their story began.
Visitors will have the chance to meet band members, purchase exclusive merchandise, hear stories from their musical journey, and learn more about the artists behind the music. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering RDGLDGRN for the first time, this unique event offers an inside look at one of Reston's most recognizable musical success stories.
