Torpedo Factory condominiums in summer
The Torpedo Factory Condominiums are located between Alexandria’s Potomac waterfront and the historic and famed Carlyle House. Click the link if you’re interested in prices and availabilities at the Torpedo Factory Condos.
The Torpedo Factory condos are very close to the Torpedo Factory Art Center and as such are found in one of the most desirable locations in Northern VA. The Torpedo Factory is within walking distance of numerous restaurants, the waterfront, King Street and the King St. Trolley.
The roof lines and architectural details of the Torpedo Factory are very appealing, and as you can see the grounds are very well-kept. Following an Old Town tradition, the walkways in the Torpedo Factory condo community are not concrete, but rather are paved with bricks.
In the summer, annuals and crepe myrtles blossom around every corner. Ever wonder what’s in those dormers at the Torpedo Factory?
Solitude from a busy world.

Kayaks and Canoes with the Alexandria Fun with Friends Group
The goal of the Alexandria Fun with Friends Group is to have fun and make friends through gaming get-togethers, social activities and local excursions. This group has has also organized events around laser tag, karaoke, bowling,
ballroom dancing and the theater. We’ve even hosted a few barbecues. Most of us are not experts in these activities, but some of us are, and we enjoy teaching others about our favored hobbies. Our group provides a great venue for making friends and staying active around Alexandria.
On Saturday July 26th, the group will be renting kayaks and canoes at the Belle Haven Marina. We’ll probably to paddle upstream to Jones Point, disembark, stretch our legs and then coast downstream back to the marina. Some folks like to head for the marsh to see waterfowl.
The marina offers kayaks, canoes and I think they have johnboats or rowboats if that’s your preference. The idea is to hit the river before things get too hot, work up an appetite and then take in a brunch at a nearby restaurant.
The boats rent for between $20 and $35 per hour. We’ll take at least an hour and might get a discount if we have enough people.
There is no charge or obligation to join the group. Sign up here and more details here.
BTW … he’s a nice dog.
