Prince William

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Once a home to a furniture store and  to a now demolished stand-alone restaurant, The Ground Round, the Jefferson Plaza shopping center at U.S. 1 and Mount Pleasant Drive in Woodbridge now sits empty and dilapidated. It’s an eyesore that isn’t sharing in the same growth and change taking place next door at Marumsco Plaza, where new retailers and restaurants will join Todos Supermarket.

So, what should happen to this old shopping center? It’s location alongside a busy highway makes it ideal, but for what? New stores? A public building? How about tearing it down and making it a park or open space? Tell us in our comments section below as we hold a public discussion about what should go here.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — The good news for Potomac Nationals baseball fans: You can now get Chick-fil-A sandwiches at Pfitzner Stadium. The bad news for Chick-fil-A fans: You still can’t get them on Sundays.

The minor league baseball club in Woodbridge made the announcement this week on their Facebook page that the famous chicken sandwiches would be sold at the stadium this season. That sparked comments and questions from fans, prompting the team to address the no Chick-fil-A on Sundays rule.

Politics

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — During the decennial political redistricting process in 2011, no Prince William politician’s district changed as much as Marty Nohe’s.

He’s the Supervisor for the county’s Coles District, which now spans the western portion of Dale City west to the Manassas area. Increasing from 57,000 to 62,000 residents in his district last year, Nohe now represents about 30,000 more residents that he did previously, he said.
