[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone remember the Hot Shoppes at Tysons Corner?  My mom and I used to go shopping at the mall after school and would have dinner there.  Such wholesome, delicious food.  I'd always get the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, spinach, and chocolate milk.  [/quote]

Also remember the Hot Shoppes in Arlington, the site of the recently closed Walgreens, opposite the Lyon Village shopping center.

It had an area where you could order meals to eat in your car. They were delivered by waitresses, sometimes on roller skates, to your car.  The inside was very family friendly and the food was delicious.  I still make the "Teen Twist."

Because it was a drive through, it had two curb cuts.   This now makes the site very valuable because Arlington Co. is stingy with curb cuts and these are grandfathered in.   When the pawn shop and closed restaurant are torn down for Arlington's water management site,  that will be an even more valuable corner.   [/quote]
