Also was wondering if anyone was interested in possible pick up trash while OC'ing, so the public sees good stuff =P

I OC every chance I get in Alexandria.

I like to OC when my motorcycle club has lunches on Mondays in Crystal City.

So far, Legal Seafood, CCR (I know, but hey its a motorcycle club), and the Mongolian place that lets you pick your own items and amounts and cooks it right in front of you. Oh, and Chili's.

I also OC all over Falls Church.

Oh, Welcome!

Probably a few of us depending on what time. I showed the video clip of channel 4 I was on to my coworkers and they looked at me and said of course they wouldn't question you. You look like a cop. I sure as hell hope not I am getting too much belly fat. I hope the cops are in better shape then me.

In Alexandria when I have to go there.

The second part of your question -- OC trash pick up. There is one group out in the far western part of the county. I've worked with them once, and will again as schedules permit.

I was just thinking yesterday how cool it would be to do a section of US1 or GW Parkway, but I haven't the time to do the coordination. I'd participate if you're interested in coordinating.

If I can get a few people interested then yeah I dont mind to coordinate it.

Never done it but sure it cant be rocket science

You'd have seen it posted here if any members had issues, believe me!
Most of the NoVA police departments have gotten a pretty good education on OC over the past few years. Not to say you won't run into an issue now and then, but generally not.

I OC in Old Town fairly often myself. Typically moreso once it gets warmer outside. But I have never seen anyone else OCing there either. But I know that many people do.

There have been problems with Alexandria cops in the past few years, but that's pretty much all settled down, now that it's become widely known among NOVA police departments.

One day I was walking along Union St. near the Torpedo Factory Starbucks and there was a guy standing next to his motorcycle talking to a cop in a casual conversation. He was OC'ing and nobody seemed to care. So was I, and nobody noticed me, either.

I've been wanting to set up a meetup in this end of the county.

How long is temporary? Have you found places you like to eat? I'm not very familiar with Old Town, but I'd love to have a get-together soon. I've OC'd there, but not in a restaurant.
