Hmmmm.. Methinks a Tour De Falls Church Bikeshare is in order starting with some pancakes at Mike's, some pupper walks and ending with some drinks at Clare and Dons.

Mmm. Just made my first-ever visit to Acme Pies on Columbia Piek this Sunday; had a quiche slice for breakfast, and got a pecan slice planned for later in the day -- only, the pecan didn't make it out of the shop either, as it turned out.
Edit: Huh - Just looked up Lazy Mike's - I grew up a ways down Shreve Road, and remember when that building was the Arthur Treacher's Fish n Chips; unless I'm mis-remembering the Long John Silvers -- but I thought there was a Treacher's there first, back in the late 70's...

A ride from Acme Pies to Livin the Pie Life would be a great example for our decision makers of how terrible some areas still are for biking in Arlington.
I really need to log off the internet and go for a ride.

Columbia Pike >> Glebe Rd. *blech*
I think an Arlington death pie ride can be arranged.

I live close by now, and it was a Long John Silver's until only a year or two ago. Maybe it was an Arthur Treacher's before that? Either way, words can't do justice to how happy I was when that place closed down and the stench of rancid fish fry oil finally dissipated.

Oh yeah - it was always a distinctly and strongly fragrant place
So much change there from the 70's forward... that McD's was also several other things I remember, before -- it was a Roy Rogers, a Gino's, maybe even one or two other things...
But thinking back now, I suspect the Mike's building was in fact, always a Long John during my time growing up... (I lived just off Shreve from 1976 - 1987.) I asked in the family, and nobody else remembers it being a Treacher's before.
So I'm probably conflating that memory with one of the other (now defunct) Northern Virginia Treacher's that used to exist...
