Alexandria can be… a lot.

ALXtra is a newsletter about Alexandria, Virginia, the little city on the Potomac that’s been extra as hell since 1749. It’s the absolute best place to live but also, uh, we have notes. Through sharp observation and thoughtful insight we aim to continually nudge our city toward being the best version of itself, but mostly we’ll end up just making fun of the Alexandria Times. Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and archives. Never miss an update.

UPDATE (FEBRUARY 2025): We’ve stopped publishing on Substack and have moved to Ghost—find us at https://alxtra.ghost.io/ moving forward!
