Highlights of the Shirlington Village Blog in 2011

The Village at Shirlington welcomed five new businesses that are all loved:

Then it was:

What were YOUR favorite Shirlington events?

For entertainment, we have the world class Signature Theatre.   (If you haven't, see Hairspray before it ends.)

Hardwood Artisans, in particular, brought fun along with their amazing American craftsmanship.
This was their about their grand opening in which they had a log cutting instead of a ribbon cutting!
