A piece of Reston history is officially on the market. This is the historic Bowman Distillery building, and it actually started life as the Wiehle Town Hall back in the 1890s, long before Reston was Reston. 🏛️
It’s located just off Sunset Hills near Old Reston Avenue, in the area that used to be called Wiehle. If you’…

National Margarita Day was the perfect excuse to do a very official taste test.🍹 Based on my informal poll, Uncle Jalapeños at Worldgate in Herndon takes the crown for best margaritas in Reston and Herndon. The drinks were on point, the vibe was fun, and there are plenty of photo ops if you’re making a night of it.

A piece of Reston history is officially on the market. This is the historic Bowman Distillery building, and it actually started life as the Wiehle Town Hall back in the 1890s, long before Reston was Reston. 🏛️
It’s located just off Sunset Hills near Old Reston Avenue, in the area that used to be called Wiehle. If you’ve ever driven by and thought, “That building feels older than everything around it,” you’re right.
Why it matters locally: this is one of the clearest physical links to the pre-Reston story. It’s a rare landmark that reminds you this place had a whole chapter before the planned community era.
Who this is for: local history people, architecture nerds, Reston longtime residents, and honestly anyone who likes the idea of preserving character while still letting a place evolve.
What to expect: the exterior is protected as a historic landmark, and any future buyer will need to work through zoning and approvals to match their vision. The best-case future is an adaptive reuse that keeps the history visible, while giving it a new purpose. 🧱✨
Practical tip: if you want to see it in person, treat it like a landmark, not an attraction. Enjoy it from public areas, and don’t assume the site is open to visitors. 🚶
Practical tip: for photos and video, golden hour makes the brick and details pop, and traffic is usually calmer earlier in the day on weekends. 📸

This Reel is all about Beloved Yoga Sanctuary, a wellness focused studio right here in Reston (11109 Sunset Hills Road). It’s the kind of place that feels like an exhale the second you walk in.
⠀
One thing the owner said really stayed with me: where do you go where all your layers are acknowledged. Not just the physical layer, but the mental, social, and emotional layers too. That’s the heartbeat of this sanctuary, and it matters locally because Reston can feel fast paced, even when we’re surrounded by nature. Having a place like this nearby makes it easier to build calm into your actual routine.
⠀
Who it’s for: total beginners, seniors, anyone who needs to stay seated, and also the folks who want a stronger flow (they have options like Vinyasa and Karma Flow). They even offer classes that incorporate resistance bands, plus other services like massage therapy.
⠀
What to expect: a welcoming community vibe, a big lounge to gather before and after class (puzzles, books, and a live moss wall), and a space designed to feel peaceful, with natural elements like Shenandoah stone and warm wood details.
⠀
Practical tips: book through their online schedule before you go and double check details day of. If it’s your first visit, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you can settle in without rushing. 🫖

@dsan2025 so much wrong with your comment including the four question marks.
@omarskhawaja why was it called that? why is my comment wrong?
@dsan2025
1. post is asking whether you like the new name or not.
2. Would you use “wth” in your comment if the post said “formerly Falcon HS” or something similar?
3. Try google for the history on this
@omarskhawaja i like the new name. and i wouldn’t say wth if it was falcon high school. but why king abdullah? sounds like a Arabic name. We are in America. 🇺🇸 we don’t even have kings.🤣
@omarskhawaja why king or prince? that’s not american.
@dsan2025 not sure if you actually understand what you’re doing in your comments or just totally ignorant or simply not from the DMV. So let’s try this: Does “Prince William’s County” bother you in the same way?
@dsan2025 the school was a private school founded by a saudi organization
@omarskhawaja why didn't you just explain? The person didn't understand where the original name came from 🤷♀️
@dsan2025 this is not a newly built school. It was a private school and FCPS bought it.
@mamacinotti thank you. he made it so complicated 😭
@mamacinotti gotcha. thank you 🙏
@omarskhawaja Pretty sure PWC isn’t run by the English monarchy, so not really an apt comparison. Besides Abdullah was a wretch
@_davidhnorton_ not the point for someone asking that didn’t know a thing about it except the name.
@_davidhnorton_ thank youuuuu. this omar clown 🤡 ain’t too smart
@omarskhawaja Fair point
@dsan2025 there are many places in the U.S. named after Kings and Queens including entire states. Notably, VA has multiple counties and cities named after nobility. You just don’t like that it King Abdullah sounds different (not white).
@jaminichiello yeah British kings or European kings is fine that’s part of our history. King Abdullah sounds like the leader of the Taliban.
@dsan2025 it was a private saudi school for international students.
@moha__ad_ad that makes sense thanks
