"This is going to be the destination place on the East Coast" (Shelia Johnson at the groundbreaking for Salamander Inn and Spa, Washington Post, Loudoun Extra, September 26, 2004)

"The Destination Place"

There'll be crowds in the street
Celebs at our feet
We can say this without hesitation
There'll be beautiful ladies
In vintage Mercedes,
No excess will need explanation.
There'll be saunas, a lot,
And mares hot to trot,
All manner of hip recreation.
This old village will swing
I mean, ring-a-ding-ding!
In the best East Coast destination
