Opponents of this project are probably overestimating the traffic this drive-thru will receive. Sure, it'll get backed up during the first few months it's open, but traffic will thin out after the...

Rick, the car wash's neighbors would love to see it go away forever. But it's there now, it operates legally, and there's not much we can do except hope a developer makes an offer the owner cannot...

@Rick I think you're really underestimating this. Chik-fil-a has huge lines pretty much all the time in their suburban locations. And if you don't think Chik-Fil-A doesn't draw a lot of people, I dare...

Arlington has required a special exception for drive-thru uses since the late 1980s, and highly discourages them in the Metro corridors, because of the impact to the pedestrian. That law was passed...

Only in the Van Ness neighborhood would activists prefer to leave yet another storefront empty rather than support a restaurant that they themselves admit is wildly popular. Talk about letting the...

@Ian Interesting. I wonder if that's why the Chik-Fil-A in Falls Church doesn't have a drive-thru. It's literally right on the Arlington County border so I don't know which county laws it has to follow..

Is Chik-fil-a's opposition to same sex marriage a factor?I was wondering the same thing...could Chick-Fil-A use DC politicians' statements in court as evidence of bias against them?

I like the ANC's logic. BK can have a drive thru because they are less popular, employ less people and generate less tax revenue, but CFA - you can't have a drive thru because people would actually use...

No need for drive-through windows in urban locations and they are dangerous for pedestrians.

@JC, No, that is not the ANC's logic; no one on the ANC has said or insinuated the justification for BK's drive thru as what you said. I understand this makes it easier to dismiss the ANC's argument,...

I'm curious as to how many of the NIMBY's against this project have seen a chick-fil-a drive thru in action, or been in one at lunch. It moves. Quickly. I hope Chick-Fil-A's original plans prevail but...
