 Rose Hill Shopping Centre by b1bob
Tim and I stopped here to get fixins for lasagne at Safeway. Besides groceries, you can get a pizza, a sandwich, a haircut, medicines, toiletries, and even learn Taekwondo.
This is, by no means, Tysons Corner. Given the tenant lineup, reasonable prices can be found.

Olde Towne Gourmet Market offers a mish-mash of foreign foods and drinks, mostly from the Middle East and Turkey. We happened to wander in to this larger-than-expected store one afternoon while strolling Old Town. The front of the store has sandwiches, coffees, and desserts, while the back of the store is a small grocery store with various breads, canned goods, and drinks, many with labels written in Arabic or Turkish. Their specialty is Ethiopian coffee, and they offer about 10 different varieties.
We stopped in and picked up some corned beef and some milk, and the lady behind the counter was friendly if distracted by her phone conversation. Since she was checking us out one handed, she had me hold the bag while she put our purchases in it. Odd... but I can deal with it.

The Book Bank on King Street in Old Town is one of the best used book stores I've found in a long time. If you're a collector or just looking for a cheap read, it's a great place to check out. The store is constantly taking in books, so the supply on the shelves changes very frequently (you can go in every week and have a different selection).
I've had great luck here as a collector. The staff keeps the books in excellent condition, so you'll rarely find a damaged piece. Prices are low so you can go a little crazy if you'd like.
The staff is very knowledgeable about their stock and books in general. If you are looking for something specific, they can hold it for you if it comes in. The location can't be beat, just about 2 blocks from the King Street metro.
Vintage paperbacks, hardcover and paperback literature, history, sciences. Paperback romance and mystery. Poetry, drama...etc...

My Organic Market is a small chain of organic grocery stores with just five locations in the DC Metro area: Alexandria, VA; Rockville, MD; College Park, MD; Columbia East, MD; and Frederick, MD. I have visited the Rockville and Alexandria locations. Both have a similar variety of organic food at pretty steep prices.
I was surprised to find some very unique things such as venison ($25 a pound), naturally aged cheese, a variety of organic beer and root beer, some international foods, a variety of nut butters (peanut, almond, soy, walnut, sunflower seed), and even duck hot dogs!
One big difference between the MOM's in Rockville and the store in Alexandria, is that the Rockville location was full of hippies. In Alexandria, it feels more like a local neighborhood grocery store. Leave a Comment
