Behind Our High Technology Corridor

Just a few decades ago, Tysons Corner was dominated by dairy farms and gravel pits. Today, it's where businesses govern the world's Internet traffic, assist the American government in military planning, carry out security analysis, and more. Yesterday, WAMU radio's Kojo Nnamdi talked with our own Paul Ceruzzi (Internet Alley) about the region - everything from the local politics of land use to the impact of the postwar movement on central cities affected the development of Tysons Corner and its Internet Alley.

In case you  missed it, you can listen here.  Ceruzzi also wrote a post for us a few weeks back on the recent Dulles Rail revival news in the area.
