Vienna, March 1969. Here’s a remastered snapshot of the Vienna of yesteryear, when things looked just a little different than they do today. We believe this photo was taken from the banks of Wolftrap Creek near the intersection of Maple Avenue and Beulah Road. Look closely and you can spot the old Vienna Trust Company building (since demolished) and even a 7-Eleven. Yes, they were around back then, too!

We hate to be the bearer of bad news for kids in Vienna and across Fairfax County, but the first day of school is this upcoming Monday, Aug. 24. (Though this is probably great news for parents!)

Summer break may be coming to a close but think of all the new adventures that await! And, in the spirit of new beginnings, for this week's we're going back to 1947 when these kindergarteners from Falls Church were starting a new chapter of their own.

Have any fond "back to school" memories? Share them in the comments. Wishing everyone a great school year!
