Now that were officially the Communist States of America

We live about 1.2 miles from Shirlington - it's a little too far to walk, but it's the closest "nice" dining we have. We go there often (the Thai place is great, probably my favorite Thai I've ever had). But yeah....there's some ghetto dining near this area!

We used to go to that Thai place when we lived up there; great spot. My sis and BIL lived in Parkfairfax when they were first married and they went there all the time. There was a Thai place closer to our house in Westover - next to the original "Lost Dog" - that we went to quite a bit as it was excellent. The best Thai place in the area IMO is a place in Bailey's Crossroads called Rabieng. (One caveat is we moved away seven years ago, so no idea if it is still great.) Very small and usually pretty crowded, but you live close enough that take out would still be hot when you got home.

I've worked with some people in some of the offices across the street from Bilbo Baggins, and ate a lot in Shillington because a friend had his company in the Gateway building.

Are you talking about the place in Old Town? If so they actually closed for good (after like 30-40 years) last month. I grew up about eight blocks south of that place.

Yes, that's the place. Sad.
