A small selection of my visits to the Worldgate Centre in Herndon, Virginia.
2006 April 1 - After seeing 'Failure to Launch' at the Phoenix Worldgate I had a wonderful meal at PHO 2000. What a nice evening. 2005 December 31 to January 2 - Enjoyed a room at the Marriott Suites. Love the renovations. Yes, the old room design held so many fine memories. But the new rooms will start new memories and are very fresh and look great. Great meal and service at the Marriott restaurant and bar. The manager treated me like a King. The bartender/waiter was great too. The movie 'The Family Stone' at the Phoenix Worldgate. Liquor at T.G.I. Friday's. 2005 May 28 - Had desert at the Cold Stone Creamery. One word, WOW! You get your choice of ice cream, like a cross between custard and ice cream, mixed with whatever you want. I had their regular flavor, which is anything but regular, mixed with Snickers and Reece's peanut butter cup in a waffle bowl. 2005 April 3 - A Cold Stone Creamery will be opening soon. I read about them in the Wall Street Journal and the way the made ice cream sounded interesting and inviting. Look forward to trying them. 2004 July 13 - I have good news and bad news . The Starbucks is now open at the Worldgate! That should bring more patrons to the Centre. Sadly I must mention that the Charbroil Steakhouse is closed.

| The following businesses are no longer located at
the Worldgate Center. They are mentioned because I once shopped
there and enjoyed the quality of service.
Dress Barn, 437-9370. While I did not shop at the Dress Barn, thank you very much, it has been a staple at the Worldgate since well before my first visit in 1994. There are stores located in Reston, Sterling and the Fairfax area. Addresses can be found at this site http://www.dressbarn.com/index.jsp Great Wall of Herndon. Chinese Restaurant. (The first Chinese food I had in Herndon, Virginia.) Mozzarella's (old name). I ate dinner here with the Parrot Heads and that guy who paid for my meal. The American Cafe is a renamed Mozzarella's. Worldgate Market & Deli. Waxie Maxie #535. 13027 Worldgate Dr Herndon VA 703-318-9422 (see information on my visit here) Sony and Lowes. The previous operators of the Worldgate 9 Theatre.
Dunn's Toy and Hobby. Sadly they are now gone! On my trip of June 19, 2004 I noticed the store is vacant. I will no longer be able to shop for toys and games at this fine establishment. (A quick web search found one at the Manassas Mall. I'll have to check that one out.)

This sign is no longer necessary. The problem has been fixed. I remember my reaction when I first saw this sign or a similar one in 1994 on my first arrival in the Worldgate garage. This image was taken from video footage from September 1996. I could swear there was a sign referring to the pipes above the garage. I must not have read the sign. It makes more sense to have a leaking deck as opposed to pipes. Although there should be no leaks at all.
