The United States Patent and Trademark Office is located in the Carlyle District of Old Town Alexandria VA. The USPTO is one of Alexandria's top employers and a magnet for sharp, well-educated folks from across the country. Commuters have easy access to the USPTO because it's located a few blocks from Alexandria's King Street Metro and just inside the Capitol Beltway. The mission of the USPTO is to protect the interests of inventors of intellectual property, while providing for the good of the nation and the market.
The Carlyle District and Old Town have many upscale shops, restaurants, hotels and restaurants. Young patent examiners may have a hard time finding an affordable residence in Old Town or the Carlyle District, but have many choices close by in Huntington, New Alexandria and the West End of Alexandria.

I love the picture you use where you are shown standing on a map of your State with the view looking from above. I'd love to do something similar, but I'm not sure my feet would show!! Don't worry. I'm working on some weight loss and have an easy diet. I've determined I lose about 5 pounds per transaction just worrying and stressing out. All I need to do is close (I don't even really need to close to worry) about 10 transactions!! ; )
