Is there a better place to spend a summer afternoon than Old Town Alexandria?

Old Town

Cycling through Old Town

King Street is lined with brick sidewalks that offer an entrance to many shops and restaurants. At benches or around cafe tables, tourists and locals enjoy the atmosphere of Old Town. It’s a place where folks find tasty treats to tempt the pickiest palate. A mix of people—patrons and peddlers, pedalers and pedestrians—pass as others pause to partake in a simple sidewalk sandwich. Flags—French and American, Irish and otherwise—give clue as to the fare found in these happy haunts.

balcony. The architectural detailing on these balconies and patios is
intriguing and little upscale.

landscaping at Canal Place

I took this picture while the landscapers were busy tending the
lawn. The bag is filled with clippings. By the time they were finished
the place was absolutely perfect. Canal Place, like many other condos,
is also readying its pool this time of year.

Canal Place is priced slightly higher than other similar communities like Belle View, or Harborside or Potowmack Crossing because all units at Canal Place are equipped with a washer/dryer. The grounds are beautifully kept and the location is surrounded by some of the nicest homes in Old Town.
