Party City is moving a block down next to the dry cleaner in between the 3 or 4 mattress stores.. That little shopping strip is pretty crowded already (parking is tough)- I wonder what will come too.. Now what would replace Safeway .. there is so much potential in Vienna- don't blow it with another mattress store, nail place, clock store etc! I'd like a good restaurant with a cool bar personal
Forum: Vienna

I received one of those Vienna flyers with coupons and there was just one for Tequila Grande- is that bad food place going away or not? I was so hoping a good restaurant would fill that pretty large spot.

LOL- pet shop at least is new but come one something else besides nails/mattresses/- just something interactive! places to hang out?

A few days ago I noticed that the former Hollywood Video location is now a mattress store (Sleepy's)- there are two mattress stores in front of that block and even more just a mile or so in tysons.. what a waste of storefront.. the last thing we need is another mattress store!!!

Good luck! I am an ebay seller and buyer but recognize this ain't a perfect system- i have bought fake brand with no warranty (and little ebay help)- a purchase with non delivery (ebay's method is just to give it a bad rating- woo) - I got our local police involved since it was fraud- we were so lucky to get our money back (thanks Vienna police)..

If you read what the other people witnessed- it is amazingly SICK.. wtf.. I also wondered why no one tried to stop him until they all left the bus and then went back in- but then, i wasn't next to some psycho who was stabbing someone repeatedly and then carved him.. easier to say what you'd do when you're not there.. so i can imagine it'd be a scary sight

Is there any area off route 1 outside of Old Town that isn't bad? I lived in Belle haven after my first job after undergrad- now it's supposed to be scummy.. I liked living off the bike trail and near Mount Vernon.. close to my job in crystal city.. but route 1 was always just a little worse off..

Child sex abusers should get the highest penalty ever- death penalty and then get killed by in prison (save us taxpayers as well- why pay for their sorry ass)- no mercy.. this was a defenseless one year old..

Thanks Inkahootz for the explanation- it had been a while since I had been there (only once when they first opened) and I really thought Morimoto was involved somehow.. the son must have had some serious habit since that restaurant was open for so little time!

I don't like Anita's either- I'd take on the border before anita's- but my favorite tex mex chain is Pappasito's which unfortunately is not in this area..

I was wondering what took over Mokimoto's restaurant- I might go check it out since it's so close.. here is Tom Sietsema's "insights" (not a real review nor did he give it stars- or officially not give it any stars) on the place http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/01/AR2008070100653.html

Sorry you went through that with your son there- the times I've played there they were just disorganized- I remember once the starter seemed overzealous to the point of militaristic and was monitoring people "taking" balls from players that hit them in other fairways.. just some retired guy who was pushing papers before and was now "in power"..
Forum: Fairfax County General

It did hit me that paying $6 for a lunch was a little much.. ha- when we went to visit the Chipotle after they opened in Vienna (live there) they didn't have their beer license- I'm sure that has changed. I went to other Chipotles from then with friends.. Good but maybe I'll put on the foil 10/31 (or is this a a joke)
Forum: Fairfax County General

What happened to it? It';s been a few years but I lived near there and the burgers were decent- not a luxury place but typical burger divish..
