The other day I checked to see when he'll be around my area. Another tailor that works for his company is going to be in DC in a couple of months. I attempted to check the website again to see if Joe would be there was well but I cannot access it this evening.
Would you recommend that I...
My mom grew up in Suffolk, VA and many of her parents customers worked for Planters. Before the town had a Peanut Festival they had the "Harvest Festival." I think the peanut wrestling was quite popular. lol
MK,
I've heard that Paul Mole is a good place to go. I read on the "shave my face" forum that Lev and David are supposed to be the best.
Also, like here, Boris at Art of Shaving had some great reviews.
I haven't been to either so I'm just passing on the information from the other forums...
You are welcome. I was hoping to find the Tidewater accent but I didn't see it listed. I have a bit of that still but I moved when I was a kid and I lost most of it. I still call Norfolk "Nawfuk" and my Aunt is my "Auhnt," though.

I was looking up some examples of accents in Virginia and came across a website. I thought some of you might like to see it.

I read that a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. Like you, I read it quickly. It was hard to put down.
I usually don't keep up with new movie releases but it looks like it's in production....

A friend of mine is interested in selling a black fedora that belonged to his father. The hat was purchased in London, probably back in the 1930s, possibly earlier. The felt is unbelievably soft and smooth. It's also a super lightweight hat and with the exception of the ribbon coming undone...
The two fire hydrants closest to the library were out of order as well. If I owned one of the multi-million dollar homes surrounding the library I would be extremely upset. Additionally, the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library (part of Harvard) is right down the street. Thankfully, that...

Jake,
I hope it's just a coincidence. The market is one of my favorite places. It's fun just to stroll around there with friends or a date after lunch at one of the nearby restaurants (I like Montmarte).
Sadly, the Market Lunch is located in the South Hall along with some of the other...
I just checked the news and was upset to learn that my local neighborhood library is on fire. The building is collapsing. This branch was opened in 1935 is the home of lots of maps, plats, books and historic newspapers covering the Georgetown area...
James,
It's really a pick-up - sort of one of those "jacked up" trucks that people go 4-wheeling in mud with. It's pretty big though - giant tires, etc. You can imagine what the tires do to a lawn.
I forget what my grandmother said to him - she isn't one for messing around though. When...
"Front lawn paving" was a problem in certain parts of Northern Virginia. I'll bet it's happening in other areas as well. I believe there was an article in the Washington Post about recent immigrants moving in together to save money. The homeowners were paving 75%+ of their entire front lawns...
If you are open to reading graphic novels you might find some of Phillipe Berthet's work very interesting. I posted about this a while back. You can find English translations of his work.
He has several detective novels and one series about featuring Betty Page which is a noted homage to...
Interesting read...
The guy sounds like he's wholly self absorbed and a nightmare to have as a neighbor. If he's so sensitive to noise why would he hook up freight train horn and blast it? Geeze...
