Travel to the Inauguration in Style by Water Taxi

For the 2013 presidential inauguration, the Potomac Riverboat Company is offering round trips between Alexandria and Washington, DC.

You can get there from here.

People interested in taking in the Inauguration Day festivities can take the Inaugural Water Taxi from Alexandria to Washington Jan. 21.

The Potomac Riverboat taxi service will depart from the Alexandria City Marina at the base of Cameron Street on the hour from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will depart hourly from Washington’s Gangplank Marina at 600 Water Street SW, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tickets are $30 roundtrip per person and reservations are required. It takes about 45 minutes each way. For more information, see the Potomac Riverboat website.

And do we carry our groceries out of the store in a "bag" or in a "sack"?

We put the bags in a buggy.

Jim, Thanks for speaking up about this. I sent in the following comment: To:Read More lisa.jaatinen@alexandriava.gov Dear Ms. Jaatinen, I am writing about the Eisenhower widening project. I am a resident of Alexandria who often rides along Eisenhower by bicycle and who sometimes uses the Eisenhower Metro Station. I am concerned that Alexandria is trying to have it both ways with cars and transit by trying to add both pavement and transit lines. This is is a wasteful strategy in terms of money and public safety. From where I sit, it seems that this have-it-both-ways approach is the reason that city staff is resistant to bike lanes or even bike parking. My points: - If we are going to widen Eisenhower Ave, we need bike lanes and sidewalks that will deliver people to high-capacity transit. - Even if VDOT provides part of the money for this project, we do not need to spend tax dollars adding traffic lanes that will fill with cars right away and are expensive to maintain. - Expanding Eisenhower Ave from four to six lanes right next to the Eisenhower Ave Metro Station makes walking to the station less safe and less attractive. - We need better quality of life and more fiscal responsibility, not more of our valuable land allocated gridlocked cars. Thank you for your time and attention. Jonathan Krall [address/phone]

This is an interesting opinion piece, but it needs way more context. Could the Patch (or the author)Read More provide some articles and/or links?
