Methinks a pie ride along the Pike is in order…

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.

Columbia Pike >> Glebe Rd. *blech*

I think an Arlington death pie ride can be arranged.

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…

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…
