This dogwood tree on Wilkes has some pink blossoms and some white. The white house on the right has a plaque that reads “The Club House”. What’s that all about?

Difficult to see through the trees, but this house on the corner of Princess and N St. Asaph was once the Alexandria City Jail. Built in 1827 and sold to developers in the 1980s. Not surprisingly, there are many horror stories about lynchings and mistreatment of black inmates and slaves.

This townhouse at 211 Cameron St looks like there used to be a building adjacent to the east wall. But the ivy growing tells me it’s been gone for a while.

Barca is a tapas bar right on the waterfront. It’s one of our favorites of we don’t want a huge meal. Bonus: dogs are allowed because it’s all outside.
