Whistle Stop Hobbies Moves to Fairlington

Whistle Stop Hobbies, a long-time Old Town staple for kids' toys and crafts, announced Tuesday it will reopen in Alexandria's Fairlington neighborhood.

The new address is 1535-A Quaker Lane, next to Foxglove Florist, in the Fairlington shopping center.

Whistle Stop vacated its space at 130 S. Royal St. recently and announced the move on its Facebook page. It leaves the intersection empty of business with the corner lot at 320 Prince St. also vacant.

Any suggestions from readers for what type of business should move in there?
