Repairing together becomes a metaphor for maintaining and strengthening the social fabric, much like the collective effort that built the country over 250 years: caring for shared resources, relying on one another's expertise and learning from one another.

Very much like quilt making, the Little City comes together in all shapes and forms to silently promote mending, repair and lending as a more sustainable way of life. It is also a value exercised every day, and one that attracts people to move to Falls Church, literally.

"To me, the educational win in this context would be the ability to drive into any town or city in the world and ask a local: 'Hey, where is the high school?" only to have that person turn to me and ask, "Which part? Are you looking for the kids interested in healthcare? You will find them at the local hospital. Are you looking for the kids interested in computer science? They are all over at the cybersecurity center. Or are you looking for kids interested in architecture? They are all out building a bridge across the river".

Thank you so much!

To boost community, collaboration, and awareness, Harvey’s restaurant – known as a “home for good food and friends” at 513 W. Broad St. – hosted six local businesses and nonprofits in their Spotlight Falls Church outdoor patio event, the sweltering summer evening of July 17.
