WASHINGTON, D.C. — One of my favorite Christmas season traditions is visiting Union Station. After many years hosting a model railroad display from the Norwegian embassy, Union Station has partnered with MTH Trains of Columbia, Md. for several new displays. From the press release:
The model train displays seen in Union Station are made up [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chances are if you have a little boy, you have a big rail fan in your house. That is certainly the case with us. When he attended a day care in Franconia, we used to drive past two rail lines and the Blue Line Metro in southern Alexandria daily and an appearance [...]
Fairfax Co. to recommend Metro station names – WTOP
Fairfax County is set to make recommendations for the Silver Line Metro stations within its borders. Going from West to East, the suggestions are Herndon-Dulles East (near Route 28), Herndon-Reston West (near Monroe Street), Reston Town Center (near Reston Parkway), Reston-Wiehle Avenue, Tysons-Spring Hill Road (Route 7 [...]
TYSONS CORNER, Va. — About a month ago, I was surprised to see some cherry trees in pretty full bloom at Halloween. Maybe at this point, I shouldn’t be surprised that they are still blooming at Thanksgiving. The trees are not as lush with their blossoms as they are in spring, but they have been [...]

By coincidence, my son’s first trip to Charm City had similar weather conditions, though we were going to the Maryland Zoo (formerly Baltimore Zoo) instead which [...]
ON THE POTOMAC RIVER – For a fifth anniversary celebration, my wife and I took the Potomac River Boat Co. water taxi from Old Town Alexandria to National Harbor. Given the beautiful weather we were having, crossing the river via boat seemed like a better idea than driving over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. We left [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The first snow of the season is always an exciting one. I took some photographs from around my complex. I’ve even got our still growing green tomatoes covered in snow. Sadly, our red one didn’t really get any snow on it. I almost posted about it last week, but just got too [...]
PHILADELPHIA — Back in 2007, I shared my disappointment with the Comcast Center, a new skyscraper in the city of brotherly love. At 976 feet, it raised the roof, so to speak, on the Philly skyline. Prior to the Comcast Center’s construction, the skyline was nearly symmetrical and featured 1 Liberty Place, an elegant modern [...]
