The JW Marriott sign in Reston is so bright, some neighbors say it’s keeping them up at night.

In this episode of the Greater Reston Living Podcast, we dive into the growing controversy around the JW Marriott sign at Reston Station, why Fairfax County says the permit was issued in error, and how Comstock has already started dimming and warming the light in response to complaints.

We also get into the bigger question underneath the debate: what kind of future does Reston want? More city energy, or something that still feels distinctly Reston?

Beyond the headline story, we cover a lot happening across Reston and Herndon, including:

• our visit to the Herndon Historical Society museum and caboose
• a new farmers market coming to Haley Rise
• the final weekend of the Reston ice skating rink with a disco party
• a first look at Toastique in Reston
• a major new housing development planned at Worldgate in Herndon
