The original building, as any native Arlingtonian age 37 or older would know, was a Red Barn. Another common fast food franchise that was alive during the 70's and maybe earlier. Sad that another small business in Arlington has gotten pushed out. We still have El Pollo Rico, which was the original Peruvian chicken place in Arlington, and maybe the area. As for the Mercedes place... Unlikely they will be going anywhere any time soon... they have also been an Arlington institution for decades... and they have the money to support staying put.

Lived in Ballston for 6+ years. Never went. I'm assuming the Shell station is next to close, and the Mercedes dealer is remaining. Meh. Lived in Ballston for 6+ years. Never went.

I assume that will be a few years away. Unfortunately it will be torn down and gone for a while. http://www.arlingtonva.us/Departments/Communications/PressReleases/page64959.aspx
