A sign in the Torpedo Factory, an artists' collective in Alexandria, VA. It's a very cool place, right on the Potomac and filled with lots of terrific sculpture, painting, jewelry, photagraphy, textiles, and more. Plus, Alexandria is a nice little escape from the urbanity of D.C. Very quiet and mellow in comparison. Take the Yellow or Blue metro line to Braddock Rd, then hop the Alt 5 bus and you're there.
