This morning when I walked to

work I passed by a TV crew interviewing someone.

I guess this is a first step to include more pictures of people on my website.

The neighbourhoods in Arlington County are identified by neat signs.

The area where we live is called Court House, and our supermarket a few blocks further down the road, in Clarendon.

On the picture is the sign next to the Starbucks closest to our apartment.

On the road from Court House to Rosslyn, Clarendon Boulevard, there is an old bar. The place is run down and seems to be no longer in use.

The commercials and outside decorations are still there, and an eye catcher is a car that's standing with its front in the air.
The car a curious sight, and it's a strange idea to see a closed nightclub: people had a lot of fun there, and now everything's gone.

However, when I looked on internet for "Dr. Dremo's", the name of the place, I found out that the bar is not closed at all. Only the patio is undergoing "winterizing". The day after I read this, I went to look at the bar and indeed, what I had seen so far was only the backside: in front there was another part that was fully lighted and in full use.

It said in the Washington Post that they have an extensive beer collection with a lot of beers on tap. So, it might actually be a nice place to visit once, but probably only in the summer, when it won't look so terribly desolated anymore.

Near the building where I work there are two old office buildings that are being demolished.

The last weeks people from the firebrigade were there everyday with at least two trucks, to take out glass, doors and other materials.

Everyday I walk by that building, from and to work, and like many colleagues I was hoping for a spectacular demolishing in the end. However, the demolishing company didn't choose to use a big explosion or something, but a crane with a swinging ball. Interesting anyway. Here are two pictures.
