Sunday, March 10
Among the information Patch strives to provide for its readers is a directory of businesses that serve residents in the communities we cover. In the directory, customers can find business descriptions, hours, accepted payment methods and much more for stores and restaurants around town. All Patch readers—in addition to being able to post free events and announcements—can rate businesses in the directory on a scale of one to five stars and can add a review. But many business owners don't realize they can “claim” their listing, giving them more control over their Patch page. All businesses with a physical location in the 20170 ZIP code should be listed (if yours is not, contact me at Herndon@Patch.com). And while directory listings are free …

Reston's Barnes & Noble will shut its doors for good Thursday. Most of the merchandise that has been on markdown since December is gone from the store and many shelves have been dismantled. There is some merchandise still available — such as CDs in the music department and bestseller-list books — as those will likely be shipped to a nearby location's inventory at the last minute. In any case, time is running out if you have been meaning to visit. The Spectrum Starbucks will remain open. The Container Store is set to open in the bookstore space this fall.

Owner Jimmy Cirrito made the announcement on Super Bowl Sunday.
During Super Bowl Sunday Jimmy's Old Town Tavern owner Jimmy Cirrito made a big announcement for the restaurant and bar.

Roberts Carpets and Oriental Rug Co. has been in business in Herndon for 40 years, selling carpets, wood flooring, and ceramic tile.
Chuck Roberts, the owner of Robert’s Carpets, started doing business in Herndon at 697 Spring St., in the building that now is home to Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern. Twenty years later, Chuck moved it to the current location, a few doors away at 681 Spring St. The building that houses Jimmy’s today dates to 1897, when the original owner, Magnus T.
