Living in Washington, DC, means it’s only a short subway or car ride to Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia. It’s a nice place to visit and has a host of wonderful restaurants serving everything from soul food to fine dining.
But I don’t get there enough. So I was glad when Marlene Hall, my latest interviewee, suggested we get dinner in Old Town. Our location for the night was the fish and chips shop (or chipper) Eammon’s.
Click on Marlene’s picture above or on this link to read my interview with stranger number 63. She had plenty to say about her time in the Air Force and her work present day with veterans groups, and more.
Plus, I got to try my first-ever deep-fried Mars Bar. I’m half-Scottish and that over-indulgent treat was invented in my mum’s home country, so I’m glad that Eammon’s offered what has to be a very rare treat.
