Situated across the Potomac River from Washington, DC, Alexandria is a short distance from many national monuments, such as the George Washington Masonic National Memorial; modeled after an ancient lighthouse in Alexandria, Egypt. The sheer amount of well-preserved eighteenth- and nineteenth-century architecture lining King Street, which extends a good half-mile up from the Potomac, and its cross streets, makes Alexandria a must, especially for those who are staying in Washington DC but do not have time to venture further a field in Virginia. It is also a very unique community � the oldest town in the Washington metropolitan area, one that goes to great lengths to preserve and use its history, and with a population that continues to cherish and celebrate the city�s Scottish heritage.
It is a given that motorcycle sales have gone up as the price of gas has gone up and this trend is likely to continue for quite some time. A stop at a motorcycle dealership in your local area will make it immediately apparent that motorcycles are being driven off the lot more now than ever and while it appears to be directly linked to gasoline prices, this is not completely true. Part of it is that many more people are realizing just how fun it is to ride a motorcycle and they have decided that now is the time to get into it.
