Shirlington, derived from the combination of Arlington and from the Shirley Highway, is an "urban village" located in the southern part of Arlington, Virginia. It lies in the valley of the Four Mile Run, which is a 9.4 mile stream that has commercial, residential, and retail establishments to the south of it. In the center of the community lies the Village of Shirlington, a series of buildings along Campbell Avenue that consist of retail, service, and residential complexes. Shirlington Village, formerly known as the Shirlington Shopping Center, opened in 1944 and was one of the earliest suburban shopping centers in the United States. It has been remodeled several times to fit the ever changing community and still provides most of the town's retail shopping today. It has numerous restaurants such as Subway, Johnny Rockets, and the Bonsai Grill, to name a few. The village is also home to Enterprise Rent-A-Car, The UPS store, and the Hilton Garden Inn.
