 Small businesses dropping fast 
At least that's the case here in Reston. At the local South Lakes Shopping Center, 4 local businesses have just closed their doors for good. That's 1/4 of the 16 locations. We won't miss the tanning spa, but the seafood place, the photo store, and the floor store were providing a useful service to residents. For many years there were several vacancies at the center, but in the past 4 or 5 years it had started to flourish again. The current vacancies are likely due to a rent increase and the slowed economy.
