Unless there is space in the back, there is NO parking. I would also like to see "charm" return to Annandale, albeit there hasn't been much since I've moved here 20 years ago. I'd like to see a interior decorating place and/or specialty gift shop in that space. more ›

I like Angel's idea..that house is so charming and cute, that it would lend itself to it. Either that, or how about turning it into an "Annandale Visitor Center"? We need to do what we can to salvage our beautiful little historic section and keep it intact- it's our last connection to history with all the tasteless new construction taking over. It's bad enough their going to ruin it with the new… more ›

Great ideas, folks~ ice cream shop, Potbelly's, Dunkin Donuts, maybe even a Baja Fresh! Baskin Robbins would be awesome! If not, then another specialty Hallmark store like "Something Special" or a Caribou Coffeehouse would offer a good variety in that plaza. more ›

This would be the PERFECT location to reopen Fuddruckers. Please, come back to Annandale...we miss & need you!!!! Fuddruckers was a tradition in our neighborhood for the past 20+ years because of its great burgers, great family ambience, and great prices and it left a void for that type of locale when they closed. We really need more good, classic American food restaurants in our area. Thank … more ›
