I'm coming up a year in Arlington, and I love it. I teach in the county's school system, and I appreciate that they pay me to walk to work. (Bikers and bus riders get a little cash each month, too.) I hope my area, the Columbia Pike corridor, retains its diverse ethnic flavor--and diverse community--as the development and gentrification continues.
We moved to Ballston in 1994. The changes have been amazing and still continue. You might be interested in posting a picture of Bob and Edith’s Diner on Columbia Pike. It is also a blast from the past
I wouldn’t quite say Ballston was built overnight. The first high rise redevelopment was built in the 1960s and pre-dated the opening of Metro to Ballston in 1978. That 1960s redevelopment was in turn reredeveloped in the 2000s.

This looks extremely similar to the IHOP at Halsted and Grace in Chicago amid comparable high rise construction.
Oh wow, I love that! Looks almost the same!
