Alexandria looked to us like the city where all the rich people in DC live so they don’t have to get murdered in DC. A historic town that doesn’t look like it’s on life support – that’s rare for us to find.
We drove through the town and looked at some of the more famous buildings (like Gadsby’s Tavern, where George Washington used to have his birthday parties), but we spent most of our time at the Torpedo Factory. It started out like it sounds – an actual torpedo factory – but was later converted into a bunch of art studios. This place was a lot more interesting than we thought it would be. Basically, there are a series of rooms where different artists do their thing. It’s vaguely zoo-like. Finished works lay alongside works in progress. And if you have a spare $800 you can bring something home. We don’t, so we didn’t.
