From Virginia Railway Express:
Beginning August 8th, the concrete pad on the west side of the station (Track 3), will be demolished. As a result, all trains can only use the east side platform closest to the station building (Track 2) and will be single tracking north and south of station which may lead to delays. We will work with all stakeholders involved to minimize any delays that do occur. The anticipated completion date of this phase is August 13th.

As the old song goes “I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.” There is little hope for our planet if we don’t start teaching our children the importance of living the zero waste life.
One of the great things about children is that they are so open to new ideas and plans. When you teach them about the importance of something and ask for their help to solve a problem, they go all out with their enthusiasm and efforts.

From Prince William police:
Armed Robberies – On August 7, officers and detectives with the Robbery Unit responded to investigate three separate robberies which occurred between 12:37AM and 2:06AM at 7-Eleven stores located at 14820 Cloverdale Dr, 15052 Cardinal Dr, and 1701 Featherstone Rd in the Woodbridge area. In each incident, employees reported to police that two unknown men entered the store brandishing a firearm and a silver bat. During the encounter, the suspects demanded money and cigarettes before fleeing the area possibly in a dark SUV or van. No injuries were reported. The investigation continues.
