I've decided to add a new feature to my blogworld - Neighborhood Focus. This week, to kick it off, I'll be taking a closer look at Westover, a charming neighborhood in North Arlington that gives the feel of yesteryear.
Washington Boulevard is the "Main Street" if you will, of Westover. Traffic slows when you enter into the 2-3 block stretch resembling days gone by. It's an area of local shops, small-town feel, and everything you need - from the post office, the grocery, a few colorful restaurants, a barber, drug store, hardware store, coffee shop, library... what else could you need?
Here is a look down one of the sidewalks of Westover Village. You can see the barber shop and Scoop Beauregards - one of my personal favorite ice cream parlors in the entire area!
This shopping center is flanked by 2 very clever restaurants: The Lost Dog Cafe and the Stray Cat Cafe! I can personally vouch for the garlic-y white pizzas and wide array of beer/ale served at the Lost Dog! It's definitely something to experience.
It's a quaint part of Arlington that offers a variety of housing options some even affordable! Also, it lies within walking distance to the East Falls Church metro - making it a commuter's dream.
So if you're considering a move to Arlington, or even just like exploring new places - consider slowing down and experiencing Westover! You won't regret it.
Happy Thursday
Jennifer
