They have been there for years, before Paisanos, before Little Ceasers and could have built themselves as a go to place. But they sucked at the major metric you need to run successful retail/restaurant. Quality, Price and Service. For example, it's not that Paisano's has better quality food, they are just as mediocre but they have better deals and good customer service. Same reasons they closed at Bailey's Crossroads and Carlyle area in Alexandria.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-58781087453409615412014-04-16T16:34:16.545-04:002014-04-16T16:34:16.545-04:00Some years ago Penny pledged to reduce the number ...Some years ago Penny pledged to reduce the number of automotive use businesses in Annandale. Don't you see, this is her plan unfolding: get all the titles, ship the cars overseas, no cars, no one left with a penny to their names, no automotive businesses. That's pure genius. Penny, you're the best.

Unlike in Mason where tenants are attracting two or three times as many people to move into the houses they are renting without benefit of landlord approval, and in many cases with landlord approval thus creating more "Penny Palaces of ill repute" Nothing to do with skin color, everything to do with defiance of codes and ordinances as written resulting in diminished values of properties where the "Penny Palaces" exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-10107895498259899872014-04-14T22:23:27.599-04:002014-04-14T22:23:27.599-04:00You are right, until FFX grows up and pust in the ...You are right, until FFX grows up and pust in the infrastructure that people want to make Annandale a desirable place to live we will continue to get the left overs from Arlington, Merrifield's Mosaic District, Tysons and everywhere else the County is paying attention except for Annandale. The fact is we have more Title Insurance Co's than anyone else on the planet....we don't need anymore.

And I'm not sure what you mean by drug entitlements - you really want people to not get meds cause they are uninsured? Wow. Also, you might notice that real estate is at a premium in muhc of fht 8th congressional district, which of course includes Arlington and Alexandria.

Annandale has lots of older housing that young professionals are not interested in, and it lacks the transit and density that the young college grads want. That won't change because you elect someone who yells about hispanics. The only change is if we embrace being inside the beltway, and push for more transit, walking and biking.

When I asked Saslaw about his legislation he thought it was really good at reining them in. It's sad. It's just great how the legislation was approved with a bipartisan vote, only McDonnell tried to rein the loan sharks in.
