I was looking around at a great website www.city-data.com for information on Restons home sales and to my surpise I learned so much more about the demographics of this steadily growing zip code and surrounding city.  By there calculations Restons home sales are on the rise and I thought that was worth sharing, here is a snapshot of one of their charts.

Saturday night my wife and I, with a few close friends, enjoyed an amazing atmosphere and dinner at Restaurant 3 in Arlington Virginia. Situated in small corner of the block that Station Square condominiums dominates, this casual dining 'hot spot' now replaces what was once  a small Greek restaurant in the parking lot of Golds gym (Clarendon).

With our indoor reservation we were lucky to change it  to an outdoor setting, curb side on the buss-ling, Clarendon blvd. While soaking up the city setting we started with a cocktail and the blue cheese chips that were a perfect starter. We then moved on to our entrees. I indulged in the black and blue tuna while my wife had the pork chop. Our company had the tuna and the sea bass. All entree were awesome and no one walked away hungry. 

As we were leaving I happened to note that the restaurant had guests of all types so if your a family with young kids or on your first date this place is an accommodating setting for both and every scenario in between. The wait staff was terrific and the food delicious.

Today we can unveil the sales price and share with you another satisfied customer is roaming the street of Arlington Virginia. After several months of worry and wonder on whether or not we could move this property and several price reductions we finally got it sold! $362,000.00 was our final close price with no seller subsidy. Ironically the tenants were moving out what turned out to be 1 week before settlement so perhaps there was some divine intervention for my sellers.

AAAAhhh yes a perfect August day in Arlington Virginia. Im driving back from lunch with a friend to Reston from Arlington when I happened to pass one of the best Chinese Restaurants around; The Hunan Gate. Back in my bachelor days when I was a downtown Arlington resident I used to live in a condo right near the Balston metro (Balston neighborhood inside of Arlington). It is here that I happened upon Hunan Gate which was located right next door to my condo building. I took this picture as I drove by so I could share with my readers what it looks like from the outside...sorry about the delivery trucks blocking the view of their corner entrance.

As you would imagine when I was living the bachelor life, cooking meals never even crossed my mind but instead, quick easy eats were of the order and this take out was among the best. Focusing their cuisine in Hunan and Chinese style delights I often indulged in their 'dumplings' and General Tao's chicken! 

Next time youre in Arlington and your plans include Chinese, I highly recomend that you stop by and partake in their excellence!
