Shafik Aasef of Annandale bought the building Feb. 28 from
Chung Moon in a foreclosure auction for just $645,000, making it a prime target
for flipping. “It’s unusual for an affordable piece of commercial property to
come up for sale, so he jumped on it,” said Kenneth Matzkin of Buck Commercial,
a real estate company based in Arlington.

The main tenant, George Gabriel, said “nothing will change”
and that he has no plans to leave. Matzkin confirmed that the new owner plans to keep the
current tenants—at least for the time being. According to Gabriel, the monthly rent for the building is $3,100.

You forgot to mention the junk yard in the back yard. Anything from food containers, coolers, lawn mowers, dog crates scrap wood, tarps tents, gas cans, etc….. It is my understanding there are five businesses in that tiny building. Talk about boarding houses this is a boarding business. Maybe this owner will take some pride!!!!!
Hopefully, the Annandale Cleanup event on Saturday morning will shine a spotlight on the messiest areas.
Dear Ashkar family – please turn that lot into a new business that will better serve the community at large. A wonderful deli, flower shop, anything other than what is there now.
hey at least its not a crackhouse #win
I am wondering if anyone ever purchased a magazine at this establishment around the mid to late 1990s. I am looking for a specific full page color advertisement that was in a magazine for a movie (not sure if it was real or not) called "Tittysburg", a spoof on the movie "Gettysburg". I believe it was in a copy of "Juggs"? Thanks for your help.
where will we go now for our adult mags and videos
I am acually looking for that one too.
