Clarendon follow-up "Little Saigon"

For a brief period in the late 1970s Clarendon became home to a large Vietnamese population. This was because during this time the neighborhood was getting rather torn up from the metro construction so in turn land lords had to lower their rents in order to attract tenants. The tenants that were attracted were the Vietnamese. They moved in and quickly set up shop. The Vietnamese influence on the neighborhood grew so large that Clarendon was quickly nick-named "Little Saigon."

Sadly, this all ended when the metro was completed and rent went back up. The Vietnamese population gradually left and a majority of them ended up in Falls Church. This created what is now known as the Eden Center.
