va: Growing Up Near Bucknell Manor
- 12/02/13 03:09 AM
When I was a kid growing up in Belle View for fun we would play in the streets and in the suburban yards. Summer days were spent walking to the Mount Vernon Rec Center, being indoors watching Rocket Power marathons on Nickelodeon, practicing ollying sewer caps on our skateboards or razor scooters, climbing trees, walking to Belle View Shopping Center to get some candy with money that was scraped out of couch cushions, or maybe playing James Bond 007 multiplayer on N64. Summer nights were spent playing kick the can until it was time to go home.
Eventually we would get … (1 comments)

va: Alexandria’s Civil War Memorial
- 11/07/13 02:13 AM
One of the busiest intersections in Old Town Alexandria VA occurs where Prince St. crosses Washington St. This intersection is dominated by a
memorial of the U.S. Civil War. Over the years, and on several occasions, drivers have crashed their vehicles into the statue. As a result some folks filed petitions to have the memorial moved. But the
statue has not moved and remains a fixture in Alexandria.
I doubt the statue ever will be moved because of the historical significance of the statue’s location. In 1861, at the place where … (0 comments)
