TGIF!!! At times it may not have seemed likely… but the students & teachers of James Polk Elementary School in Seminary Valley of Alexandria made it through the first week of school (we’ll talk about the parents later!) and to celebrate there is a picnic this evening on the playground! It is an opportunity for parents to connect with the parent’s of their child’s new BFF and meet the Polk PTA that works with the teachers and administration so hard to enrich the education of the students. It’s funny how the two groups of parent’s dealt with this first week of … (6 comments)

- 09/03/13 02:13 AM
First Day of School for Alexandria, VA Public Schools This morning was a beautiful, as the class of 2026 made its way to the bus stop for the very first time. The list of supplies had been purchased, the clothing had been laid out the night before, and a last minute debate over what to pack for lunch as preceded the 1 minute walk to the bus stop at the corner. There was already a small crowd waiting as we arrived, so there was extra time for the kids to tell each other what teacher they had and while the parents … (5 comments)

aj heidmann: The Arlington Condo, Arlington VA ~ Mid-Year 2013 Update
- 08/07/13 02:59 AM
At the mid point of the 2013, 24 units in The Arlington Condominium had successfully reached the settlement table. At this pace, 2013 should do well above the 5 year rolling average of 30 sold units per year. What stands out here is the average price for the “A” units, showing that they had the highest average at $309K. As the smallest unit in the association and located on the ground floor, they tend to bring in a lower sales price, but due to several (surprisingly high) sales they have outperformed the upper level “M” model. The M model is … (6 comments)

Just a quick note from CRS Celebration in Las Vegas... Sam Miller of Knox County Ohio and Apple Valley Lake fame here on Activerain is giving a great workshop on "Tech Lead Generation and Conversion" as I peck this out. Fabulous content across multiple sources for real estate leads and the first thing out his mouth was... Acitiverain! He gave a great synopsis of the SEO value of content on the site and value to agents over other blog sites. I suspect a jump in new agents in the next 24 hours... so ramp up the servers!

aj heidmann: The Shirlington Market Report ~ May 2012
- 06/05/12 07:34 AM
~ The Shirlington Report ~ The strong sales momentum that we had early in the year got even stronger in May, as the Shirlington real estate report shows a total of 43 units reaching the settlement table. An increase in quality listings as we have moved through Spring has been met with an equally strong increase on contracts, so that inventory is still the limiting factor. To put the activity in the Shirlington real estate market into context, a total of 29 new listings were added in May while 26 units went under contract in the month. I hate to … (3 comments)

Weekend Street Parking at the Palazzo After 18 months of research, compiling data, communicating with the association in numerous meetings, and a public hearing last week; we have 24 hour parking on Northampton Drive on weekends! The City of Alexandria approved the change from parking from 7PM to 7AM seven days a week to parking 7PM to 7AM Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).
The new times apply to both sides of Northampton Drive between Ford Ave. & Kirkpatrick Lane and it anticipated that it should generate space for 24-28 vehicles. Restrictions … (3 comments)
