      <title>A Big WOW For Shirlington: US Patent Office Will Be Our Neighbors</title>
      <description>
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://beltwayramblings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/shirlington-209-26-07-20040-small.jpg" vspace="1" border="1" hspace="8" align="middle" alt="Shirlington 9_26_07 040" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
The last office building planned for Shirlington is almost complete. &lt;a href="http://www.costar.com/News/Article.aspx?id=568CD88DF2F79B344F46A32D3BA9ACA1" target="_blank"&gt;Randolph Square&lt;/a&gt; will have over 200,000 square feet of office space, retail stores and a nice new parking garage to add some much needed parking.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The exciting news is that this shiny new building now has a bright new tenant: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globest.com/news/1097_1097/washington/168395-1.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The US Patent Office.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The building is scheduled to open in April- just in time for the spring and bring with it the US Government.
&lt;br /&gt;

Welcome to the neighborhood &#8211; &lt;strong&gt;you&#8217;re going to be here for the next 10 years&lt;/strong&gt;. I hope you enjoy our little secret.
&lt;br /&gt;

It&#8217;s much further along now. I&#8217;m just too cold to stand outside to take some pictures.

And many thanks to one of my favorite local blogs: &lt;a href="http://shirlingtonv.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Shirlington Village Blog &lt;/a&gt;for being the first with the scoop.
