Happy Thanksgiving ARLnow!
Eli Residential Group has donated $500 to Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) on behalf of ARLnow readers to support their mission to feed our neighbors. I’m grateful for you all.
Every Thanksgiving I ask the hard questions and poll ARLnow readers on Thanksgiving preferences:
- In 2022, votes came in 291 for Dark Meat and 290 for White Meat — amazing (that 290 people are wrong)!
- In 2023, 470 voted for Pumpkin Pie, 310 voted for Apple Pie, and 280 voted for Pecan Pie
This year, I’m back with another critical poll question:
Two Awesome, Local Businesses
I would like to shoutout two awesome local businesses that supported our annual client event. Acme Pie Co handmade 182 incredible pies for our clients. Interestingly enough, they chose pies in the exact opposite order of preference as ARLnow readers voted in 2023 — our clients ordered 75 pecan, 71 apple, and 36 pumpkin. Get yourself an Acme pie, you will thank me. They also do slices and other treats at their bar.
We hosted the pie pick-up at the recently opened Parciti indoor/virtual golf. They’ve got seven high-end golf simulators, and our clients had a blast playing. If you haven’t visited and are looking for a fun activity with friends/family over the holidays, give them a visit. The simulators have about 1,000 different courses, including many of the world’s most famous tracks. And the best part — when you shank your drive into the trees, you don’t have to go searching for it.
Both businesses are along The Pike and have endured 12-18 months of non-stop road and utility work, along with all the other awesome, mostly local/family-owned businesses along The Pike that all deserve our patronage. If you like supporting small, local businesses in your community and Pike business and restaurants aren’t usually on your radar, consider adding them to your rotation this holiday season.
