The King George branch of Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles is great! While not a full service DMV - you can't get a driver's license there - you can still register a car and renew your tags at this location.
EVEN BETTER is the King George DMV is housed in the same building as Springer's Auto Sales and Springer's Guns & Tackle. This perfect DMV placement allows you to not only purchase a used vehicle, but then register it, get your tags, and then purchase some must have vehicle accessories like guns and fishing gear to go with your new car!! Nothing beats the King George DMV!

I have gone to Romancing the Nails a number of times. I usually get a fill for my acrylic full set. They always do a very proficient job on the fill itself. I have no complaints there, and they are also very good at nail repair.
They only downside to Romancing the Nails is their nail design. They do offer freehand nail design, but their designers seems very inexperienced. Sometimes my nail design from them is rather weird.

Mamacita's is across the street from the El Cortez downtown. They serve both Mexican and Puerto Rican food. We only tried the Mexican food but they did have some Puerto Rican items on the menu that looked very good.
The free salsa that they serve you as soon as you come in is fantastic. They give you two different types, a hot and a mild, and they are both first rate.
We had their nachos as an appetizer. They were okay, but nothing special. It is a huge portion however.
The fajitas for our lunch were huge. I'm very glad the two of us split the order. We had nachos and fajitas both left over. The fajitas were very very good.
If you're in the area I would recommend a stop here.

The El Cortez is in downtown Las Vegas. It is owned by Jackie Gaughan. He used to own several other casinos downtown, but has sold them and the El Cortez is the only one he still owns.
The tower rooms in the El Cortez are great. They are very large and very clean. The bathrooms are smaller than usual, but the rooms are sized more like a minisuite than a standard room.
The casino is a little small, but very cute. They also have blackjack minimums of $3 a hand all the time.
The rooms are very inexpensive. When I stayed there they were $35/night for a Friday and Saturday night.

Chantilly Cash & Carry is a dumpy little store. It does not know what it wants to be. It first seems as though it is a (very) run down convenince store. It sells sodas, (dusty) bags of chips, candy, etc.
If you walk to the other side of Chantilly Cash & Carry you will find that they also sell some very interesting Western style hats. They also sell demium jeans and can make a variety of utility payments for you.
It would be nice to do all these things in one place if the place were not run down and falling apart like Chantilly Cash & Carry.

I had heard so much about 5 Guys and how great they were. They are a local chain with about a half dozen or so locations. They opened a location across the road from me and I was excited.
The burgers at 5 Guys are great, and they have a lot of different (and free!) toppings to go along with them. The "regular" burger is actually a double (two burger patties). The "small" burger is a single regular sized patty.
The fries are another story. I had heard them raved about, but they were not that impressive to me. They were okay, but just not fantastic. They do pour a huge quantity of fries in your bag. If its only two of you dining, I would get a small fry and share it.
*Note: They do have unshelled peanuts in buckets all over the place so if you have a peanut allergy unfortunately you'll need to skip it.
