Thanks to one fateful dinner in the 1970s, residents today would have never had "A Place Called Reston."
Early Reston residents Janet Hays and Carolyn Lindberg, who started a Reston directory in 1966, were moving, but wanted their local phone book with that name to live on.
“Someone offered to buy it for $30,000, and they thought it probably wasn’t worth it,” said Nancy Larson, standing in the Reston Museum.
