During the era of Federal Urban Renewal programs, which threatened the demolition of the oldest parts of Alexandria, the Historic Alexandria Foundation initiated a program of marking early historic buildings with oval bronze plaques. Intense lobbying by the Foundation in conjunction with the Old Town Civic Association served to limit the advance of Urban Renewal destruction in the 1960s to three blocks along King Street, and today historic homes and shops are being restored instead of demolished.
This program continues today, with additional structures judged on their merits for inclusion within the ranks of plaqued houses. If you think your house merits a bronze plaque, call the Historic Alexandria Foundation at 703-549-5811 or the Office of Historic Alexandria at 703-838-4554 to learn more about this program.

The Potomac River separates Virginia from Maryland and DC and as it makes it way south from Great Falls to the Chesapeake Bay it passes Old Town Alexandria. In days past, Alexandria was a working port filled with transport ships of sail and steam. Today, only rarely to working ships make their way to or even past Alexandria. Today the docks are filled with pleasure craft and the docks are filled with tourists instead of workers.

It was a cold winter day, when I got ready to go out for a winter ghost tour, with Nightly Spirits. The meetup location was Chadwicks, a bar with prime Real Estate located on the waterfront. A group of the RSVPs formed and prepared for departure, into the tour guided destinations during the night. This was a walkable blast from the past, through historic Old Town.
The tour guide presented with passion, tales explaining some of colonial Virginia's culture, and some of the haunted things that had occurred. Stops included monuments, bars, intersections, buildings, cut through side streets, etc.
