Marlo Furniture: Landmark and Tradition

I am feeling a little bit nostalgic about Washington since I am new to Berlin. I base all of my movements around Berlin on landmarks. Currently, my major Berlin landmark is the Berlin Hauptbahnhof, for example. Marlo Furniture is for sure a landmark.  When I wrote Marlo Furniture Has Been a Washington Tradition for More than 50-Years I had been thinking about Marlo Furnitures place in time and hadn’t considered its time in place. What I mean to say is that Marlo Furniture is the anchor for many other stores. For example, Creative Clay advises, ” We are located just off the Edsall Road exit of 395, near Marlo Furniture.” People all over Washington give directions based on where it exists in relationship not only to the current superstores but also to where it was born down on 7th street, NW. One person even gave directions to a grave site based on where a Marlo Furniture stands in Rockville, “We have the grave and (true)monument to F Scott Fitzgerald in the cemetary across from Marlo Furniture in Rockville.” Yes, F. Scott Fitzgerald! Either way, I think a lot can be said about a store that has waited out everyone else. From the 50s through to the 21st century! So, Marlo Furniture is not only a Washington tradition but also a Washington Landmark, too. (Via Because the Medium is the Message, Chris Abraham Online, Memes.org)
