[quote=Anonymous]I worked at Sears in Arlington on Wilson Blvd in the early to mid 70s. It was very conservative then. I can remember a quilt and craft store about a block away. The owner brought her baby to work each day and she was in a woven basket placed on the floor. There was not a lot of traffic in the area. I can remember Arlington Trust Bank within walking distance. I lived on Columbia Pike. There was a nice African-American neighborhood off of Columbia Pike close to the Pentagon. I think it was called Johnson Hill. The Columbia Pike area was pretty busy. A co-worker previously worked for an apartment management company. She told me they had to mark applicants who were black in order to keep them out. Another co-worker lived in Culpeper on the weekends and in Sterling during the week. She had a strong Southern accent.[/quote]
