Our vintage picture of the day is in Arlington showing Lee Highway in the 1930's. The present day location is almost unrecognizable. Most of the structures and even the rail line in his image are long gone.

Balconies and decks are found on houses, townhouses and condos through-out Northern VA in staggering variety and shapes. I've collected few balconies decks and sunrooms which interested me just for comparisons. The interesting thing is that these outside spaces can be found on upscale homes and on budget homes, on high-rises and on no-rises, enclosed and open with stunning views and with no view at all.

Amenities
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.

Before there was Beacon Hill Shopping Center, the Beacon Mall was in the exact same location. When you look at the picture below, some landmarks and shapes are very recognizable.
For example the water tower and the profile of buildings remains much as it was. Today the "big boxes" of Lowe's and Marshalls are in the same place. Famous Dave's is nowhere to be seen. It's also interesting to notice the cars that are in the lot.
