To local residents, Tysons Corner is the area around the intersection of VA-123 Chain
Bridge Rd and VA-7 Leesburg
Pike (which, as recently as the 1950s, was a quiet rural
intersection flanked by a few small stores). Tysons Corner Center, a large
shopping mall, is located here, and is oftentimes the only reason that
nonresidents have heard of Tysons Corner. Tysons Corner also houses many smaller
shopping centers (including the Tysons Galleria mall) and a significant number
of car dealerships. In recent years, the influx of technology companies into
Northern Virginia has brought many new office buildings and hotels to the Tysons
Corner landscape.
