I've actually been planning to do a post showing some of the more interesting ones. I'll get around to it one of these days.<br /><br />The best restaurant around Cloverly now is the Greek place. It's very good. There used to be an inn in an old house on 198 that was outstanding. I think it might have been just a little too fancy for the area at the time and unfortunately it closed a few years ago. I think they also had a fire, which didn't help matters. I know how that goes.Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-56210174808962334892009-09-30T15:24:43.443-04:002009-09-30T15:24:43.443-04:00They have got some bizzaro churches out on New Ham...They have got some bizzaro churches out on New Hampshire Avenue extended by Cloverly. It's like...take your pick of exotic. And I love that orchard. There's a good restaurant out there, too.Washington Cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892459114050731786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-86281106547767784622009-09-21T20:39:24.786-04:002009-09-21T20:39:24.786-04:00lacochran - If I had taken a turn on the swing, my...lacochran - If I had taken a turn on the swing, my outfit would have gotten messed up - from my rear end dragging in the water.<br /><br />Barbara - the swing was a rope hanging from a tree and the seat was a circular piece of plywood. I was amazed at how nearly every business in that section of Annandale was Korean except for the MacDonalds, Wendys, and Kmart. I think the suburbs actually might have more cultural variety than DC does. I could be wrong.<br /><br />Mike - yes I enjoyed seeing all of those elements as well. I think the violinist may have moved here from Russia where her name would probably not be that unusual. Maybe it's related to Salome or Solomon in some way. I was just enjoying the phoenetic coincidence.<br /><br />Garrett - Thanks for the photo compliment. The apples not only look delecious, they are delicious!<br /><br />Kristin - it was interesting and unexpected, which made it extra enjoyable. And now's the time to get good apples, for sure.Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-45654940875017211082009-09-21T20:16:53.263-04:002009-09-21T20:16:53.263-04:00What a wonderfully cultural weekend!

It's an interesting combination of formal attire, pond with manufactured water feature and a Huck Finnian style pass time of swinging out over the water on a rope swing.<br /><br />Solomiya Horokhivska? Really? I have a love/hate relationship with funny names. I find them interesting, but wonder what parents are thinking sometimes. Maybe Solomiya is a common name? I recently heard about a family in rural Maryland that had named their daughter Indiana Jones and their son Dow Jones.Bowie Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656054601003840365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-43600031707949526022009-09-21T09:48:44.709-04:002009-09-21T09:48:44.709-04:00How is that little girl doing it?

It can't get much more local than that!<br /><br />I live in the middle of the melting pot of NoVa. I should take greater advantage of "cultural" opportunities like those you mentioned.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-6544413425111650972009-09-21T07:49:26.319-04:002009-09-21T07:49:26.319-04:00Looking at that girl swinging over the water, the ...Looking at that girl swinging over the water, the only thing I can think is "She's dressed so nicely.
