August’s 1st Thursday in Del Ray is All About Technology
August 7th, 2008 Categories: 1st Thursday
Well, thats what the sign says!
Truthfully I didn’t see any tables or booths about technology -
just a lot of people having a great time on an unbelievably mild August evening and doing what we do best in Del Ray -
supporting the community.
Waiting for mom - and chocolate.
Just hanging out.
Toe tapping music.
The hot new way to exercise.
William, on the way home.
See you back here on September 5.

June’s First Thursday is Perfect for a Stroll on the Avenue in Del Ray
June 5th, 2008 Categories: 1st Thursday, Things to Do
Del Ray celebrates itself on the first Thursday of every month, May thru September, with a mini street festival on Mt. Vernon Avenue and tonight was picture perfect.
From 7pm - 9pm, moms, dads, dogs, iguanas, birds, kids and a belly dancer strolled the Avenue, visiting with friends and neighbors, taking advantage of shops open late and reveling in the cool of evening.
After a day of unseasonably hot temperatures - and some areas of Alexandria still suffering power outages after yesterday’s raging electrical storm - everyone was eager to be out and about.
Sausage samples from Lets Meat on the Avenue, a concert by the George Washington Middle School, face painting, five minute massages, the Alexandria Animal Rescue League, mini bags of popcorn at Barkley Square, freestyle dancing - it’s just all part of living in Del Ray, especially on First Thursday.
Why not join us next time? We’ll be looking for you.
Michael.
