Greetings All,
I had a wonderful childhood growing up in Alexandria and after reading this forum I wanted to share an old Super 8 film that I knew had footage of the Pony Ring at Baileys Crossroads. I too remember Giffords, watching airplanes take off at the old airport and trains being linked together at Potomac Yards. It was just another little southern town back then. G.W. High School had a rifle range in the basement where students would learn how to shoot. If you don’t believe me look at the blueprints from the renovation about ten years ago, that’s where I got the information.
