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."
