As Seen on Facebook!
"Growing up in McLean, Va in the 1970's" is one of our favorite Facebook groups. There we find a wealth of history and connect with generations of families who've frequented Color Wheel for almost 50 years.
Our 1970 storefront photo was recently shared with a comment by someone who'd ridden a horse up the long-gone hill behind Langley Shopping Center.
Here are a few more fond memories.
- "My mom was and still is a faithful Color Wheel customer for all of its 50 years. So many framed prints in my house--turn them over they say 'Color Wheel' on the back."
- "Paint chips! I used to get hypnotized by the paint chips!"
- "My mom has shopped there since it opened too! She still does. Lots of great memories! I'll talk to mom. She will want to know about the anniversary!"
- "As for Color Wheel...my mom lived there. So did baby me, from 1965, when we moved to McLean."

A recent customer exclaimed at checkout, "That's better than at Michael's and the frame is nicer too!" She explained that the frames she'd seen at the big box store were poorer quality, cost more, and most were unwrapped with scratches and dents. As she walked away with her value priced Nielsen Bainbridge frame, she smiled and said, "I'll be back!"
