Whistle Stop Hobbies Moves Again

Toy and hobby shop Whistle Stop Hobbies has moved once again.

A long-time staple in Alexandria's Old Town neighborhood, the shop moved to Alexandria's Fairlington neighborhood earlier this year.

Now the shop has moved around the corner, from 1535-A Quaker Lane next to Foxglove Florist in the Fairlington Centre Plaza, to 1719 Fairlington Centre Plaza in the same mall. That spot was vacated recently by Alna Art and Framing.

When Whistle Stop moved out of Old Town, owner Frank Kozuch told Patch that increasing rents and hard-to-find customer parking spurred the move.

The most recent move around the corner was to increase foot traffic, a store manager told customers.
