WHERE WE LIVE | Residents of the Arlington, Va., community love the neighborhood’s green spaces and the shade and beauty provided by old-growth trees.

That act of defiance in 1960 created its own momentum: A worker at the Cherrydale Drug Fair, Joseph Wooten, eventually joined the students, who weathered taunts and harassment as they sat at the counter and helped to propel the American civil rights movement.

Embree wrote about those events and the civil rights protest in “It Happened in Cherrydale,” a book he self-published in 2020. The memorial plaque, the anniversary celebration and that book have all helped to bring locals new awareness of and pride in their neighborhood’s history, Embree said.But what drew him to the neighborhood in 1987 was proximity to the Cherrydale library, which was “about a 120-second walk from the front door” of his townhouse.

Cherrydale residents love the area’s green spaces and the shade and beauty provided by old-growth trees. They’re a major point of concern in discussions of a “missing middle” housing proposal that would allow construction of more multiple-family homes in Arlington to create affordable housing options.

Joan McIntyre, who leads the Cherrydale Garden Club, said she’s generally in favor of the proposal, as long as the county pays attention to tree cover, setbacks and stormwater drainage.“The county’s got to be a little bit creative in terms of what are the opportunities and how different things can come together and still make Arlington welcoming for everybody, which is kind of an important issue,” she said.
