Yes! We remember!
Now - does anyone remember what used to be on the site of Lee's Auto Center on Columbia Pike by Lake Barcroft?
I think it used to be an old grist mill, but I could be mistaken. It could have been a cabbage farm. Not sure. If anyone has pics, that would be great.

According to the historic photos site, it was an Arthur Treacher's before it was Lee's Auto Center.
Lake Barcroft residents used to congregate there for many years until it was suddenly closed down. Many think it was a political issue when the Captain D's opened up over there by the seven corner's center.

That reminds me of El Torito. There was one across Duke Street from Landmark Mall that later became a ChiChi's next to where CompUSSR was.
I miss Shoney's, too. I used to stop at the one in Springfield after workouts. The buffet switched to breakfast at 2200, and there is no better way to get a carb-free loadup than a breakfast buffet. And it helped that the food was freshly cooked when they switched over.

There used to be one down Duke Street heading from Landmark to Old Town on the north side of the street. I think it's where Enterprise Rent-a-Car is now on the intersection with North Gordon.

I remember that. It then became Pascalino's for a time if I remember correctly. Used to go there after going to the movies and the pizza there was really good.
"Arcade near the power transformers in Fairfax City"
That was called Playtime I think
