I used to go for walks and frequent the quaint shops with my folks circa 10-18 years ago. The area has always been relatively quiet, although the shops and restaurants were generally packed.

Its been a little since since I've gone back but recently I moved to Clifton and decided to take a drive around Alexandria to reminisce and see if it still looked the same. It appears as though the surrounding areas aren't necessarily crime ridden, but in poor shape, not like I remember. There's a lot of graffiti, people sitting on stoops, and homeless. Has it always been this way? Perhaps I have selective memory and am just remembering the good as opposed to the minor details such as that.

I have lived here since 1976. The areas surrounding Old Town have always been infested with no-income, low-income negros. Nothing has changed, they are still there. Alexandria, except for two blocks either side of King Street is a shithole.

Yeah, I drove around some street called Van Dorn? Looked pretty sad.

WTH? If you were here in the 60s or 70s, you'd know that Old Town had long been a black ghetto infested with lazy savages. It's nicer now than its been in decades.

Sorry but you are wrong. Old Town Alexandria is nicer and wealthier today then at any point in the past 40 years. The northern part of Old Town, where most of the poor blacks used to live, has seen an incredible number of luxury townhouses and condos built in the past 10 years. In the Potomac Greens community near Slaters Lane and GW Parkway the condo townhouses sell for $600-700,000.

Can confirm. I live near van dorn and it has been a shithole for years. I live in a good place but most of the area around me is filled with worthless spics, arabs, and niggers. Once the housing market goes back up we will be moving to a 95%+ white area that has no issue with telling it like it is.

Van dorn is getting sort of nicer now as they plow through shitty areas and put up overpriced townhouses and apartments. Delusional liberals wouldn't last more than 3 months in my area without becoming full blown racists. Niggers are the absolute worst and have no intelligence whatsoever. You can see them waiting at the bus stop every morning looking fat and beat as shit on their way to some bullshit gov job or minimum wage part time work.
