The best thing about Seven Corners? Not having to drive to Gaithersburg (or Rehoboth!) to go to Dogfish Head.

It's a decent place. I go there for Mark's Duck House and Dogfish Head Alehouse mostly.

Not sure about the "service" but it is a pretty big Target with a wide selection. It's a nicer Target than Potomac Yard, but not as big as Skyline Target.

Some of the apartments in that area are fairly low-income and come with the problems that usually entails. Is it safe to go shopping and dine in the shopping centers there? Definitely. Is it safe to hang around one of the seedy apartment buildings late at night? Probably not.

What are the best things about Seven Corners? What are the worst?

Best things: The restaurants and the Target. Also, Seven Corners has the closest Home Depot and Sears locations to Arlington.

Worst things: Traffic on 50 is awful. The shopping centers could be spruced up and modernized. Would also be nice if the area were more walkable.

What is the traffic like? When is the best time to go shopping?

Early afternoon or late at night. Any time close to rush hour is bad.
