Now she and all the other "community leaders" who wanted the Shirlington mess are shopping, dining, etc. across Quaker Lane in Alexandria in the area referred to as Lindsay Village which, unlike Dumb Growth Shirlington, is livable.<br /><br />Oh, where was she during the Pike Charades last week? Why didn't she attend the South Beauregard Corridor meetings in Alexandria? She's running to represent these areas, right?Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-77672538792120564822011-07-07T08:55:35.570-04:002011-07-07T08:55:35.570-04:00Yuppette, did you see where Libby Garvey considers...Yuppette, did you see where Libby Garvey considers her neighborhood to be in Alexandria?
