1. Location of the marker and Eden Center
This marker and Eden Center are both north of Wilson Boulevard, which put them (barely) in the jurisdiction of the City of Falls Church. Across the street is Fairfax County, and within two blocks is Arlington County. The City of Falls Church is legally distinct from both of these counties, although parts of each have addresses with a Falls Church ZIP code, assigned by the U.S. Postal Service.
