Throughout the summer of 2019, Fairfax County's first permanent “LOVEwork” sign is on tour and is set to travel around to some of our most popular attractions that represent the eclectic visitor experiences found here. We're on tour stop number 7, and eventually, the sign will find a permanent home at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton. Once there, the letters will be creatively “bedazzled” by several of the artists-in-residence at the Workhouse, making the new Fairfax County “LOVEwork” sign a unique piece of art that visitors will enjoy for years to come.

The current stop on the "LOVEwork" tour is Caboose Commons. Located at the Mosaic District, Caboose Commons is the second location for Fairfax County brewery Caboose Brewing Co. which also operates Caboose Tavern in the Town of Vienna.  Caboose Commons is unique in the fact that it is also a full-service coffeehouse (opens at 7am daily) in addition to the brewery. They also serve up delicious locally sourced food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner making Caboose Commons a must-visit any time of day.  While the "LOVEwork" sign is there, you can plan your visit around many of their weekly events - like bringing your dog to Ruff Tuesday for the ultimate canine LOVE selfie.

 

And make sure that if you do visit and snap a sweet pic of the LOVE letters, upload them here or post them to social media using the hashtags #FXVA#SHAREWHATYOULOVE, and #LOVEVA.
