It was my first time there and it will probably be my favorite, but remember, I’m from New Jersey and there is killer pizza there so it takes a lot to make it my favorite. They have a video game when the insides open again.

They just recently opened a Pupatella in Reston, right in the W&OD just before you cross Weihle Ave. Will definitely try their pizza – excited for an alternative to Pizza Hut and Dominos

2/10/21 5 or 6 point star (but not the American flag)

I had a far away one in mind which had to do with beer, but the wind was coming from the wrong direction and I found this in the back of a truck

I was keeping my eye out as I rode home from HDCC, and I spotted this one that I’ve ridden by a million times but never noticed that it’s a star.

Stars on the side of the building at 130 South Royal Street. Old Town books will be relocating to this location in early spring.

2/10/21 Star (not on an American flag) (5 or 6 points)

This is the remaining orb of a pair at Reston Town Center. The other was removed for construction of the Leidos building and as far as I can tell, there are no plans to return it. Commerce trumps beauty…

There are many stars on this, but the one next to the comet is the focus – and is 5 pointed.

But this one truly is beautiful, and on a sunny day really sparkles. (Today was not sunny when we got there)

If you would like to know more about it and see a photo of its (former) mate, here’s a good link: https://publicartreston.org/project/orbs/

On February 10, 2017, Adam Levine – frontman of Maroon 5 – received the 2601st star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. (I didn’t realize there were so many?!)

On your ride, find a star, as long as it’s not on an American flag. On this hunt, we don’t want the word, we want the shape, but lets limit it to ones with 5 or 6 points only.

Happy hunting!

2/10/21 – 5 or 6 point star (but not on American flag)

I was going for a star I’d seen on a fence in a neighborhood about 4 miles from my house. Riding down Glade Dr in Reston, I glanced right to see this in a front yard of an adjacent road. Far more interesting than my goal star, IMO. If I’d had the foresight to pose my bike in the photo, I could also have used it for Public Art Finder [emoji849]

“Now we’re playing on my turf,” I thought as I read today’s photo challenge. After all, I’m of the six pointed star variety of people. But it turns out that in Northern Virginia they’re hard to find in the wild. My synagogue doesn’t have any on its exterior, and from what I could tell from Google, neither do any of the (few) other nearby ones in Northern Virginia. I thought about heading to Sixth & I, which has a lovely stained glass example, but decided to instead settle for a five-pointed star, which are abundant. DC United and NE Patriots bumper stickers on cars. Decorative stars on houses. Air Force logos. Five pointed stars are everywhere. I grabbed some five pointer photos, but kept my eyes open while I continued my ride.

Finally, I stumbled upon a six-pointed star on, of all things, a sign advertising dog grooming. Success! Further along in my ride I spotted one of those “Coexist” bumper stickers that has the symbols of all the major religions. That would have provided a more legit mogen david, but I decided to stick with my doggie daycare sign.

Oh, and as I arrived home I noticed a five pointer just around the corner from my house – a Turkish flag sticker on a car. Good thing I didn’t see that on my way out, or I might not have gotten much of a ride in at all.

These masonry reinforcements are a common site around the city. The anchors are almost always a star.

I had the intention of keeping it simple and stopping by Starbucks on the way to the pharmacy to pick up Rx. Then I rode by a VA Civil War Trail sign with 3 stars and a bugle. That would work, but those aren’t very unique around here. Instead I came back around to capture a star incorporated into a fence art display at the local elementary school. It was by far the coolest star I saw on my errand run today.

I found this in my random park of the day (Rockville Veterans Park).
