My son goes to Sunrise Country Day Care in that office park, and I too read 
Preston's book when it came out.  Kinda gave us the willies, but, hey we've 
been living within a mile of that building for 7 years and haven't started 
bleeding uncontrollably yet.  :-]

And, yes, there was a lot of construction/destruction equipment out front this 
morning.  I guess they are finally tearing the sucker down.  According to my 
day care provider, the landlord is tired of sitting on this unleasable 
property and wants to tear it down and put a new building in its place.  The 
existing building is in pretty bad shape.

About Hazelton Labs, they DO HAVE a facility up on route 7 at the intersection 
of Towlston Rd (down toward Tysons Corner).  This is where most of their lab 
work and administrative stuff is done -- and this was the facility Preston was 
referencing in the Hot Zone.  A neighbor used to work at this facility, and it 
is still there (as of this morning, anyway).
