Old Town will probably always be the center of that universe, but a recent map provided at Greater Greater Washington, which showed density in Alexandria, revealed the increase in dark spots in Carlyle/West Side. <br /><br />It’s apples and oranges of course. Old Town has over 600 of those oval historical home plaques, great restaurants, etc, but still, interesting to see the new kid in town getting more and more attention, and younger types will love the modern walkable urban aspect. <br /><br />And for folks who live in this part of the DC area, it’s also exciting to see National Harbor roll on (Tanger Outlet coming 2012 and that epic backup at the Wilson Bridge is a thing of the past), Carlyle and its transit-oriented growth, and Potomac Yard starting to see some shape and new homes about to be built. <br /><br />Now if they can just get done with the Telegraph Road Exchange and the thru lanes done!<br /><br />Ref: No history.<br /><br />Certainly next to noting when compared to Old Town, but the village of Cameron was located here (near Hoffman 22) in the early 18th Century. It competed with West's Point (Robinson Terminal in Old Town) to become Alexandria. There's an historical marker near Metro and Hoffman 22 on the Cameron Mills part, which was near where the towers will be built.Jayhttp://jay.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-82215489269338192732011-05-25T18:52:06.548-04:002011-05-25T18:52:06.548-04:00Yes, build it.

That neighborhood has no history and nothing of architectural interest, a few high rises might give it a reason to be around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
