alexandria from someone single in their thirties perspective around the area by foot and my 2019 ford escape the suite my parents basement meals to eat the dog and showmanship mil vet home owner straight edge and meds

 ok so alexandria my pro read on that it's walkable but rare that others do that (also most of the 'lively' youth and hang out folk would be smokers communities) too so it's possible and that too without getting cops called on you though along the way many people may taunt you from passing vehicles (don't respond trust me the pantomiming) so what's around here lots of restaurant chains (and the more affluent middle ground places like noodles and co or mcalister's or jersey mike's) being further from fort belvoir (where there's shopping for mil vets with benefits commissary and post exchange and the new hospital) lots of families with kids who graduated high school so the difference between kids and parents and too how many out there on ssdi prescriptions doctors appointments

welcome so with the car there's all the spots around here from washington dc (nightclubs museums gov jobs um chinatown h st u st the mall etc) that being a big focal point to and there's other communities kingstowne shopping center (good pho restaurant there) springfield with the mall arlington with clarendon or the orange line metro side near fairfax whichever neighborhood fort hunt the kids leagues bucknell longboarding around belle haven the private country club huntington the metro by b&e diner um so growing older things have changed like public opinion marriage or 'settling down'

a nice spot was where i used to live on the same street as my brother (he's still there) so being a reasonable distance from the metro those days with designated drivers too um the seasons there and loading up on costco my pad being charming the front lawn and the backyard two stories

so easing into the future there's marshall's for discount name brand clothes (and tj maxx close to) walmart and target and too there's costco and other stuff the am vets thrift store (safeway giant shoppers etc trader joes wegman's) or another nearby one would be 711 (when i'd get forties there or the hot food wings big bite hot dogs chocolate chip cookies from their bakery nachos with chili and nacho cheese maybe some jalapenos other stuff) so the houses in the suburbs who still lives with their parents um what all to do so get a bite (kfc roy's panera subway chipotle taco bell wendy's to name a few el pollo campero burger king mcdonald's)(and places more with my parents mama's kitchen ledo's k market silverado chikfila mike's thai ghang waan chef huang skrimp shack) to eat see some music in the capital drink in old town (though i can't do that anymore with my meds) um see a movie stay home and use the internet

times getting around on a bike little errands with exercise the vcu influence u lock maybe a bag um the bike rack different stuff around here national harbor the casino and too walking or longboarding growing up here as a kid the playing outside skateboarding tricks later um cable tv when it was great mtv vh1 comedy central cartoon network tnt usa fox um sports and public school going over to other peoples houses

so as a veteran there's the life of following the rules and keeping benefits so no more marijuana or there's nightly meds um so these days friendless and alone what networks are there strangers and public places um there's a sex shop here mvc um how many vet home owners are nearby so the look of that days at home car in the driveway a paycheck um what to do to assimilate to watch cable television and lots of different versions of these vets some parents some single males um without cannabis things are greatly reduced that whole crowd and comradery whose got pets a dog um hearing damage any sodomy history um

times with my parents the office the meals my brothers families games so the year fall winter spring summer 4 yr presidents in the background news not paid attention to the college influence with things like the dorms or other references the campus cafes studios lounges dens so the day ahead the calendar

so what's missing there's the park but the american way the nuclear families so what socializing is out there the times doing open mics as a guitarist singer um which circles are out there me being a somewhat successful young adult home owner good car um helping my family free time what to do caffeine hobbies

now modern times here my parents basement if i have my car with me or not national harbor and the lacoste store (and shake shack) over there um any activities like a play in shakespeare theatre in dc um the walkable parts from the suite to the shopping center or the option to get a hair cut lots of online material shared my brother a short walk away friends lost and starting over or the other side the ebenezer scrooge visual daily to be miserly my smartphone in my pocket my dog with me and the dog park nearby um the computer at the desk in the suite on the 2nd floor with the windows in the office

common areas buffets delis benches picnics camping um sleep overs conversations ideas contributing content collaborations painters poets musicians directors writers photographers entertainers comedians the different titles to creative activities the sports basketball golf baseball football skateboarding um
