Reston's first industrial complex design concept 1960s.
I just got home from the most inspiring program sponsored by the Reston Museum. We met Reston native Nate Mook and learned about his journey and efforts in Ukraine with World Central Kitchen. What an amazing individual, truly inspiring. Also humbling to see all the despair and destruction. WCK is making a real impact in Ukraine and around the world.
