I guess I'm old. I didn't even know what Slack was, or is, or whatever. I've never see it.
Regarding Ballston: I arrived in the DC area on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1979. I have a cousin who was living in Ballston at the time. She raved about the brand new Metro station, that was within walking distance. Her commute time to her office across the street from Union Station, was now a breeze. I stayed at her place for a couple of weeks, until I got settled into the DC area.
There was a little mom and pop Mexican restaurant called Speedy Gonzales, that had great food and was right in front of you as you came up the escalator at the Ballston Metro station. I doubt I would recognize Ballston now if I went there. There was some development around the station, but as you walked away from it, you saw basically a bunch of 2 story garden apartment buildings.
