RED DAY AT KELLER WILLIAMS: MAY 9th, 2013 – We ROCK Arlington!
New Arlington Restaurants
So, your foodie Realtor is going out on the town tonight and will most likely dine at GREEN PIG BISTRO or FUEGO in Arlington. I have been so very busy working for my buyers and sellers that I have not been out yet to try one of these new, or one might say newer, restaurants.
Of course, I will report back to tell you what I thought! Have your tried either of these Arlington Restaurants? I bet we will hear that they are another reason that Arlington Rocks!

Celebrating President’s Day in Arlington and the DC Area
Arlington is preparing to recognize President’s Day. As for me, I am looking forward also to celebrating President’s Day (or George Washington’s Birthday) on Monday. I am doing this with a trip to Texas to train and to celebrate Keller William’s 30th birthday. As you may know, President’s Day is designed to remember our Presidents and also an opportunity to honor our nation’s military personnel and veterans. I thought would be fun to share some of the following trivia about our past Presidents.
- The smallest President was James Madison who was 5’4″ and weighed less than 100 lbs. The heaviest? William Howard Taft, weighing in at 332 lbs. In fact, Taft had to order a new bathtub after he got stuck in the White House tub.
- The tallest President was Abraham Lincoln, measuring 6’4.”
- Ronald Reagan was the oldest President; at the time he was elected he was 69 years old.
- John F. Kennedy was the youngest President elected; at the time he took office he was 43.
- The first President to toss the “first pitch” during baseball season was William Taft.
- James Buchanan was the only President who never married.
- Virginia is the birthplace of the majority of Presidents. Eight of our former leaders were born here.
- Richard Nixon was the first President who visited all 50 states.
- Presidents Adams, Jefferson and Monroe all died on the 4th of July.
- Theodore Roosevelt killed a mountain lion with nothing but a knife after it attacked his dog.
- Andrew Jackson’s pet parrot had to be removed from his funeral – the bird wouldn’t stop cursing.
I hope you found these bits of Presidential trivia interesting as well as humorous. And, I hope you have a great holiday this Monday, in Arlington, or wherever the holiday finds you!
As always –
