The bridge you are asking about is known as the Long Bridge. It has been built, re-built several times over the years.

Back during the Civil War, it was a wooden crossing, and did service until 1904 when the new Long Bridge opened.

The construction of the new metal bridge was constructed from iron, and was actually reassembled from it's first location in Trenton NJ, crossing the Delaware River. This new bridge was an Iron Truss bridge, and the metal dated back to the early 1890's.

The entry of the U.S. into WWII created the need to move massive amounts of war related items around the country. The iron truss bridge was not able to bear the weight the trains were transporting through our area. In 1942 the bridge was upgraded to handle the heavier loads. The iron trusses were removed, and the stronger steel was installed to create the bridge we have today.

The swing span retains the steel truss construction, and I understand the last time the swing span was opened was in the mid-1950's.

Country Squire overlooked the neighborhood where I grew up (Ravenwood Park) and our family went there for special occasions a few times each year. Later, I too introduced my wife to it and both of us also enjoyed it until the closure. Here's an, unfortunately, poor quality photo of the entrance that I found a few years ago. Wish I had one of the view from the back of the restaurant overlooking Lake Barcroft.

Always heard about the crypts but never went there. I guess it must still be there today. My understanding was that they were in the woods behind pohick church. It was mostly the pot smoking crowd that went there. There is a big thread about the crypts here,

Who remembers the DC bus strike of 1974? I think there might be a few VW's in this shot. Although this is DC and not Fairfax county I bet there were quite a few Fairfax residents caught up in this mess. How many VW's do you see?

Roughly 40 VWs, including the one bus.

The article says the feds were sent home an hour early each day during the bus driver strike. I asked my Dad about it and he said some of the busses started to run limited routes a couple days into the strike. Buses driven by managers and some military personnel. My Dad worked at the Pentagon in those days.

Parked in that lot for years. It was subsidized for carpools, and with five people, our carpool made the cut year after year. We paid $10.40 per month split between us. And there were always spaces because you had to have a permit to get in. They must have expanded access during the bus strike for that many cars to have gotten in.

There was a building with similar architecture on Columbia Pike
that was torn down recently. I think it was being a Central American
restaurant most recently; don't remember what it used to be.
I don't think it was German, though. (Unless you think an American
"hamburger" is a German invention; I kinda think it was a burger joint.)

Nearby on the other side of Columbia Pike there is (still)
a German grovery store where you can get veiner schnitzel.
It's a non-script block building.

This is all near Bailey's Crossroads.
I think the OP is confused, though.

About the blue laws; thought it was prohibited to sell alcohol on Sunday? I remember being in a People's Drug in '75 and the small aisle with beer was covered with light blue steamers. I thought it was so pretty.

Blue law was all stores closed Sunday.

Washington Post Article
END OF ERA VA. BLUE LAWS OVERTURNED
By Mary Jordan
September 24, 1988

Virginia laws prohibiting Sunday shopping and dating back before the days of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were declared unconstitutional yesterday by the state Supreme Court.

So-called blue laws, which last year were repealed in Maryland and have not been in effect in the District for almost 20 years, were ruled unfair because they had been amended so frequently that they favored some businesses and discriminated against others, the court said. {The court also relaxed a ban on books. Story, Page B8.}

The 6-to-1 decision was prompted by a 1985 lawsuit in which six retail merchants and two development companies -- among them the Hechinger Co., K mart and Circuit City stores -- argued that Virginia's colonial-era laws had become a tool of "economic warfare" and no longer preserved a "day of rest," as they intended.

Chief Justice Harry L. Carrico dissented but did not write an opinion in the decision, which reverses a 1985 ruling by a Virginia Beach Circuit Court.

Although Northern Virginia jurisdictions have not been bound by the laws since they exempted themselves through a series of referendums in the mid-1970s, about 50 percent of all employed people in Virginia live in areas with Sunday closing laws.

Hundreds of stores in Norfolk, Roanoke, Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads will be affected by the ruling, prosecutors said.

Yesterday's decision erases a law that survived from 1610 to 1960 with few changes. Recently, however, the laws ran up against significant social changes, among them an increasing number of women working full time and shopping on the weekends. For many, the advent of malls also transformed shopping into a recreational pastime. And Sunday itself is not the day of church and family dinners that it once was.

As a result of these changes, Virginia lawmakers amended the original laws numerous times, continually broadening the exemptions until currently more than 60 "industries and businesses" are permitted to open on Sunday and the statutes cover about only 20 percent of the work force, according to Justice Charles S. Russell, who wrote the majority opinion.

The cumulative affect of the amendments, Russell wrote, "reduced the ambit of the law to a very few businesses" and is thus, unconstitutional under the state's prohibition against unfair "special laws."

Virginia's Sunday closing laws were originally intended to preserve the first day of the week for church-going and family outings. Then during the Revolutionary War their purpose grew more secular, becoming a means of providing a common day of rest "to prevent the physical and moral debasement which comes from uninterrupted labor," according to the 21-page opinion.

Until 1974, when the General Assembly began exempting a variety of retail stores and the operations of the agriculture, mining and manufacturing industries, most stores were closed throughout the state.

"It is the end of an era," said I. Michael Greenberger, the merchants' attorney. "As late as the 1960s, stores were generally closed except drug stores selling prescriptions. Now {for many stores} Sunday has become the most important day of the week . . . . People are not resting on Sundays anymore."

Sunday has, in fact, become the most productive business day for Washington area stores, according to Garry R. Curtis, manager of the retail division of the Greater Washington Board of Trade.

"Saturday is still the largest shopping day, but Sunday brings in the largest volume per hour," Curtis said.

But for many residents in Tidewater and southern parts of Virginia, Sunday shopping just isn't done.

Numerous times voters in Virginia Beach and other jurisdictions have opposed repealing the blue laws. As recently as 1982, 64 percent of the voters in Norfolk rejected a referendum proposing the laws' repeal.

The Virginia decision now means that there will be almost no area of the Old Dominion, Maryland or the District where a shopper can't buy everything from a pair of shoes to a pair of pliers any day of the week. The two remaining counties in Maryland that have blue laws, Wicomico and Allegany, are scheduled to hold referendums on them this fall.

"I'm relieved that there is finally a decision," said Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Paul A. Sciortino, the defendant in the suit brought in his jurisdiction. "I think with all the changes over the years, the law had become discriminatory."

"You could have a clothing and shoe store that couldn't open," Sciortino said, "but you could have a drugstore like Peoples that sold all the same things that could open."

Along with Hechinger Co., K mart and Circuit City stores, the other plaintiffs were Best Products Co., Rose's Stores, Zayre Corp. and the Benderson Development Co. S.L. Nusbaum & Co. Inc. was party to the original suit but recently withdrew.

John Hechinger Jr., president of the Hechinger Co., said the decision will affect eight stores in Virginia. "It's absolutely clear that the vast majority of the people like to shop on Sunday."

By most accounts, blue laws got their name from the paper they were written on and later came to refer to laws on morality and prohibiting certain Sunday activities.

Back in the early 1970's Safeway had certain parts of the store blocked off so you could not get to the prohibited items.

Everyone put your hands up and move away from the shoelaces.

I grew up here in the mid 1960s with the blue laws, and thought they were stupid. Now I think they were a good idea, forcing people into a more civilized lifestyle.


Bring them back.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but there are upsides and downsides to severely limiting alcohol sales. Where I grew up, you couldn't buy alcohol from about 6PM Saturday on. On a long weekend, folks would load up. I remember one buddy telling me they were at the lake and Monday afternoon they still had six cases of beer left, so they "got drinkin'".

Obviously that's the one end of the spectrum: the other side is, of course, folks driving half-lit to buy another six-pack.

Just sayin', there's problems both ways. Self-driving cars may help here! ("Alexa, have another six-pack delivered")

I hate the fact that Rt. 123 is referred to as East\West. Once through Oakton it is a North\South road. Just call it Rt. 123. And no, if you are in Oakton looking West you are not looking towards Fairfax City.

A north/south road does not always travel in a north/south direction to get where it’s going, but it does always remain a north/south road. Same goes for east/west roads. If you know what I mean.

Back in the mid 1970's the only places open on Christmas Day were a few(not all) 7-11 stores and Crown Gas Stations.

7-11 stores for the most part opened at 7am and closed at 11pm
Attachments:

The 7-11 in Annandale by the (Civil War) Methodist Church, at the intersection of Gallows Road and Columbia Pike has been gone for a little while now (turned into a pet boarding / vet office). It's street address was "711". Originally, the route number for that segment of Gallows Road was "711". Yup, 7-11 at 711, 711.

As the above poster indicated, open from 7-11.
Drug Fair was open across the street on Sundays but had limited items on Sundays.

One summer in the mid to late 60s 7-11 made a record that became the most requested song on WEEL radio for weeks. I remember buying the 45 rpm record at the Ravensworth 7-11.

Good guess! Let's have one or two more, and then I will tell

Somewhere near the Massey Building is my guess
