This LFL was well stocked with an assortment of books. I had a book in my pannier BUT LEFT THE PANNIER IN THE HOUSE!!! Given the road conditions today (dicey just driving my bike out of my development) decided not to go home just to get the book to leave.

This looks like a good destination for a ride once they open up again!

Contract post office in Washington Plaza on Lake Anne in Reston, and yes it’s in a chocolate shop! And their handcrafted chocolates are delicious! Kind of hard to see in the photo, but the name of the shop is Chesapeake Chocolates. Two Herndon sisters-in-law started the business in 1998.

Bronze statue commemorating Robert E. Simon, founder of Reston, installed upon his death at 101 years, in Washington Plaza on Lake Anne, the original heart of the community Simon built. Next to him in this photo is a “wishing net” filled with dozens of hangtags marked with wishes by unnamed authors. The net has been in place since late 2020. The banner at the top of the net, “Live, Work & Play” expresses Simon’s vision that Reston should be a place where residents could pursue all three within their community.

This does not seem to be an “official” LFL but has been here for a while – used it last year as an entry for #PublicArtFinder. It’s on the corner of Viking Dr and Puritan Ct, 38.92663, -77.38435

This plaque commemorates the history of Cartersville Baptist Church, located near the intersection of Hunter Mill Rd and Sunrise Valley Dr in Reston. The church was originally constructed on land donated by Rose Carter for a church in 1903. In 1951 the original church structure was rebuilt, and then again after a fire in 1972. The church still serves as a place of worship for descendants of the original congregation.

As was already mentioned by someone else who posted a fire hydrant photo, the fire hydrant operating nuts that control water flow are pentagonal to help prevent tampering.

This LFL is located near Sunrise Valley Elementary School, where the W&OD crosses Sunrise Valley Drive in Reston. Again, oddly, there were no children’s books in this LFL! Did not bring a book to leave because I was only expecting to ride a couple of miles since my street was still so snowy. As so often seems to happen during BAFS, once I got out of the neighborhood the roads were pretty good so I kept riding. Again, didn’t think to bring any books with me, but now have a couple in my pannier for the future!

Dwight Eisenhower was one of only 10 five star generals in the US military. When those five stars are arranged in a circle, they form a pentagon in the negative space
