This was a grand weekend for Parkfairfax & walk-to Shirlington Real Estate. Several condominiums and detached home went "under contract" as a result of the pent-up-demand for real estate, the 37 year low 30 year fixed mortgage rates, and the "hope" generated by a new administration coming into political office and by being associated with The JOHNandJOHN Team. Being close to I395, Quaker Lane, Fairlington, Shirlington's shopping, library, metro, restaurants, and theatres make Parkfairfax in Alexandria and Shirlington in Arlington "must" place to live and work. Amazing how close Alexandria and Arlington is made by Shirlington-a 5 minute walk.

On a more personal note, our laptop computer that we use at home or while at open houses died. After determining $300 to repair. We decided to purchase a new one. The Sony Style shop in Pentagon City is where we went to look because they sold the Sony Vios, our current laptop. They were giving 25% off some floor models. Their customer service wasn't great, but Chris, our salesperson/computer genius was VERY knowledgeable. If you see us with our new RED (remember discount) computer, you'll know it!!
