No doubt another mattress store will be built there to replace the destroyed structure.

There is a reason why hazard insurance is hard to get on unoccupied buildings.

I believe a negro with a stolen mattress from one of many Vienna stores is responsible. Probably living in there and cigarette or crack pipe

Was this shopping center owned by the Hafts?

"Earlier today, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department career staff from Engine 402 and Medic 402, along with volunteers on Canteen 402 were dispatched to the Marco Polo restaurant in Vienna...."

Today I learned there is such a thing as a Canteen truck that responds to fires to provide fluids and nourishment to the Firefights on scene. There are five such vehicles in Fairfax County. I guess I had never even thought about it and just assumed they had coolers or something in their Fire Trucks.

You assumed. Now prepare for the butthurt. A canteen means drinking container.

...if you can name more than three of these 'many' mattress stores. At 0.68 per square mile, mattress store density in Vienna is actually rather low in comparison to nearby areas.

I'm sorry to see Marco Polo come to what it has. Like Wu's Garden, and Le Canard, it was once in the pantheon of excellent Vienna restaurants. Many fine dinners and upscale Sunday brunches were enjoyed there over the years. Their catering service will be fondly remembered as well.

Marco-Polo towards the end was shady. They fucked us on our wedding catering. I bet it got hit with some good Ol' Jewish lightning". The bumble fuck fire Marshal's Office will rule it due to faulty electrical wiring is my guess.

I had one complaint about seating at Marco Polo, but it was on New Year's Eve. Ordinarily, we knew not to eat out on New Year's Eve, but for some reason we did that one year. We ended up at a rickety table that had been hastily set up in what we knew was a hallway. Ended up being a (disappointing) fixed menu as well. But I blame us for having been there at all. We knew better and rolled the dice anyway. Snake-eyes. On every other occasion that I can recall, Marco Polo was a fine place to dine indeed.

https://www.tysonsreporter.com/2019/03/20/burnt-husk-of-marco-polo-finally-demolished/

Five months after it was destroyed in a fire, the ruined husk of the Marco Polo restaurant building in Vienna has finally been completely demolished.

It’s unclear when demolition began, but by March 19 most of the rubble had been removed from the site.

The restaurant was originally built in 1954. In 2015, local developer Doug D’Alexander applied to have the lot redeveloped as Vienna Market, but the application failed. A more scaled-down version was presented in 2017 and was approved.

The development plans were complicated an alleged intentionally-set fire that gutted the building. Two teenagers were later arrested and charged with setting the fire as part of a vandalism spree.

The charred remains were left as a visible blight along Maple Avenue, though Vienna staff said plans for development are still in the works.

In January, Cindy Petkac, director of planning and zoning for the Town of Vienna, said the building was expected to be demolished within the month.

Vienna residents remembered the building, a longtime local prom-date spot, fondly.

They caught the punks that started the fire. Video recorded the incident. I'm not sure about their punishment. They were minors.

Marco Polo and Wu’s Garden were once two of Vienna’s top eateries. Le Canard was nice also. MAR, Clarity, and Pazzo sort of took their spots.

Groundbreaking to take place the first week of April at the old Marco Polo on a 36 story mixed used building that will have retail and businesses on the lower levels and a hotel and condos on the upper levels. It is going to stick out like a sore thumb at first, but it marks the future of Vienna. It will be one continuous high-rise skyline from Vienna to Tyson's Corner. The property taxes going into the Vienna coffer are going to be HUGE.

vienna HAD a small but proud furniture factory - something to actually export from vienna

it's too bad it closed

what do they have today? allot of franchise retail outlets. a leach tie to fx co gov va federal tax returns. and some federal work for those tied to democrats in the fed gov - more leaches.

IF THERE WERE A GOOD FINANCIAL REVIEW THEY'D HAVE TO CLAIM BANKRUPTCY

it's their only hope no such review is possible

Good idea. We could dust off the blueprints for Cabrini-Green and resurrect it in Vienna. Building on the gold course could start immediately.
