Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat, Shop, and Play in Alexandria

Alexandria and DC have a complicated history. When the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 established the 100 square miles that would become the nation’s capital, Alexandria—founded in 1749 and one of the oldest cities in the country—sat within its boundaries. But representatives of Alexandria immediately wanted out: As part of DC, they’d lost their position as the county seat in Fairfax, they couldn’t vote in congressional and presidential elections, and political and economic discord grew. Eventually, the interest in retrocession became mutual as abolitionists sought to outlaw slavery in DC and wanted Alexandria—then a hub for the trade of enslaved people—to be moved back to Virginia. In July 1846, that happened. The city continued to grow, with its prosperity, according to the tourism organization Visit Alexandria, “inextricably linked to the work of enslaved and free African Americans,” whose stories make up much of the town’s past. Today, it combines centuries of history with modern-day shops, restaurants, and activities for residents and visitors alike.

50+ Young People with the Sunrise Movement, Including Coloradans, Arrested at Schumer DC Office Demanding New Leadership and an End to the Filibuster

Press releases are provided to Yellow Scene Magazine. In an effort to keep our community informed, we publish some press releases in whole. Washington, DC – 54 young people, including several Coloradans, were arrested after sitting in at Chuck Schumer’s office demanding a new Senate Majority Leader and the abolition of the filibuster, which wealthy corporations and their political allies use to block expansions of healthcare, unions, and green jobs. Another 150 visited all Senate Democrat offices. In a statement delivered to senators, Sunrise argued that Democrats have a mandate to deliver on the economic populist agenda that propelled them to victory — but doing so will require abolishing the filibuster. They warned that Democrats could lose in 2028 unless they force Trump to veto popular legislation or negotiate concessions, both of which will be harder to achieve if the filibuster remains in place.
