We Took early morning walk yesterday and felt really relaxed and energized. we definitely going to come back and try some of local restaurants. There is a train station for daily commute to DC. This must be a great neighborhood to live in. How wonderful that Kensington is able to preserve the old town feel, unlike some outside DC neighborhoods, overdeveloped with monster houses.

I had a great time looking through all sorts of odds, ends, knick knacks, and treasures. Found a couple things to give a new home to even. The proprietor was pleasant and friendly, as well as reasonably negotiable with a few of the prices. I departed the store quite pleased, already looking forward to the next visit. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Parking is free and easily accessible off Metropolitan Avenue. Great place to walk around and shop for all things vintage. Very eclectic mix of shops and places to grab a bite to eat. If you enjoy watching trains come and go - this place is definitely for you! There is a farmer's market here and lots of cool events!
