BRISTOW, Va. — There are unaccompanied illegal immigrant children in Bristow, and Prince William County officials say they’re not paying for them.

Since I took office in 2008, we have worked together to transform our community and create what I call a New Woodbridge – a smart growth community that attracts high-paying jobs, reduces traffic congestion, and preserves residential neighborhoods. As a result of our efforts, over $1 billion in public and private investment is now coming to our community.
Think back five years ago. Who would have thought that we would have our own Wegman’s and Apple store at a place called Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center? As the economy continues to improve, we will see much more construction in the Woodbridge District.

“Begin Again” sounded like a good movie, and a pretty good move in general, so I tuned into Writer/Director John Carney’s (”Once”) second feature film.
Dan (Mark Ruffalo from “Now You See Me“) is a once-great A&R guy with no A or R. He has not signed an artist for a decade, so his label threw him out. Dan also left his wife a year ago, so things are really looking down. Every piece of new music he hears sounds old and tired and worthless – a kind of audio metaphor for his life.
