I'm in the Alexandria area for a conference this September, I'll be landing Sunday and flying back out on Thursday, so I've got a few afternoons and evenings to pass. Will I be shot and mugged if I wander about in Alexandria? Also, are the previous suggestions for food still relevant? I don't want anything fancy, just a decent burger, BBQ, Chinese or mexican place.

more in north old town from what i remember
also if youre walking the neighborhood (i have no idea why, parking is fine, i used to cuz friends lived there and we walked to restaurants) b/c of obama housing, some streets are sketch cuz developers had to build the ebt ghetto home every 5th real home or something. if you see run down cars in the street, walk a block over

I quite like it here, nice and walkable. My hotel is on prince street and I've been up and down king street a few times. Plenty of places to try. One slight oddity is most breakfast places seem to open at 8am, not much use when I need to be over at the conference by 8:30, so it limits breakfast options a bit, but the diner i tried today was good.

The sausage and gravy was good at table talk. It's the first time I've ever had it so I have nothing to compare it to but it tasted good. The portion size was enormous though, and I felt close to exploding.

Quite an enjoyable trip although some of that may have been because I didn't have my kids with me Took the metro up to the Smithsonian on my final day, then walked along the mall to see the white house and the Lincoln memorial etc. Pretty cool. My taxi back to the airport may have been driven by someone on drugs, given the speed at which he talked, and hopped from subject to subject, but he seemed nice enough.
