Ashburn does not have "like three restaurants". The datacenter zoned part of the city has "like three restaurants". If you ever drove >5 minutes from those large shed warehouses, you'd know what you're talking about.


You are probably thinking of Sterling, Chantilly, etc.

Ashburn is literally like the Embassy Suites next to the Five Guys, the Aloft next to the taco place, Equinix, Digital Reality, Verizon, NTT, CenturyLink, etc.


I lived here my entire life, I know where Sterling is and how it's a 15 minute drive from there to Chantilly (which is not in Loudoun County btw).

Take a look at this map here: https://www.loudoun.gov/DocumentCenter/View/171141/2022Elect...

Ashburn is not literally just one shopping plaza. It's a giant area zoned into different parts of datacenter, suburbs, and commercial sections.

Even forgetting all of this, just type "restaurants in Ashburn" into Google Maps see the plethora of results.

Just because someone has some imaginary boundary of what constitutes as Ashburn doesn't make it definitively small.


As you can see from the post, we did that. :)
