Have you ever been to Del Ray in Alexandria, VA? It is one of those great areas that still has that small community charm and homey little stores that many of us crave. If you really want to make your house your home, you need to get off the beaten path and support some of these little gems. I've been spending some time there lately and recently had coffee with my CASA buddy, MB. She's just finished renovating a Del Ray bungalow -- wow, I can't wait to see it. Anyway, she tells me that Del Ray will not allow any big chain stores. I've been to St. Elmo's coffee house a couple times now and it's all about the local community. Anyway, if you want to spend a little time slowing down and enjoying life, spend a couple hours cruising Mt. Vernon Avenue in Del Ray.
