Arlington VA is a great place to live, work and play. Because we live in a teeny, tiny county (with amazing county services, btw) everything is so darned convenient. It takes me no more than 15 minutes to drive to any one destination in the county from another, except for that 10 minute wait that always seems to occur at the intersection of Glebe Road and Lee Highway.
This convenience is typified in a most unlikely of places — Ayers Hardware Store. This family-run business has no equal. Looking for a place that can repair your cracked windows or torn screens? This is it. Looking for a gallon of paint? Check. How about window hardware? Got it. Need a inflatable toy for the pool? Look no further. Birthday presents? Yup. Cleaning supplies? Well … you get the idea. Small store, but they’ve got it all.
And pick up some nickel candy at the cash register.
No need to drive out to those big box stores and wait in line for an hour to get your stuff. Patronize the local Arlington store and make it easy on yourself. Win-win. Gotta love it! To be found at 5853 Washington Boulevard, Arlington.
