If you like good custard you are at an awkward time in Northern Virginia.
The Custard Shoppe (see below) closed for good.  The owner thought it
was too much trouble.  It is no big loss, it was good but just another
custard/yogurt place with yuppie flavored yogurt and two flavors of
custard (you know which ones.)  We will miss it because it was convient.
    The best frozen custard was at a small 50's relic on route 50 and
Graham Road, just west of Falls Church.  It was scheduled to close for
development.  They promise to reopen when they find a suitable location.
They did it the old fashioned way with machines from the 50s that disgorged
large amounts.  Not the neat spigots of the modern machines.  If any
one knows when and where they will open please post.
