A very sad story from Reston: A two-and-a-half-year-old boy fell from a third-story townhouse window yesterday and died as a result of injuries sustained. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. According to the Washington Post, a parent and a sibling were home at the time of the fall. How awful. Safe wishes to you and yours. more ›

I can't think of a single time we've ever heralded the opening of a business all the way out in Reston, but hey, it's August! There's a new Apple Store opening in Reston Town Center, at 11900 Market Street in Reston, Va. That's according to an email from Apple's customer news service. The big grand opening is set for Monday Saturday, Aug. 15, and if you're one of the first 1,000 visitors, you'll get a free Apple T-shirt! (Aside: that's about the most useless thing we can think of for them to giveaway. Where's our free iPod nanos, Apple?). More details here. There's still no estimated opening date for the District's first Apple Store, which will eventually be located in Georgetown, at 1229 Wisconsin Ave. NW. more ›
