Hey everyone, we love getting your feedback.
Rick’s story really confirms what I have suspected for so long… that very few – if any – of the local government leaders in Stafford County have one iota of understanding what this damned Stafford Downtown Project is all about anyway!
Several area government-run swimming pools will reopen for the summer.
Stafford County took to Facebook to announce the reopening of the county’s two public swimming pools. It comes after the pools were closed to the public in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This photo of a car engulfed in flames was sent to us by a PLN reader who was driving on Joplin Road on Saturday, May 22.
The reader tells us she came upon the car already engulfed in flames and called 9-1-1. The car was parked in the road, about 2 miles west of Quantico National Cemetery.
Businesses are opening back up, and once again, workers are being asked to bike to work.
After taking a hiatus last year due to the pandemic, the annual Bike to Work Day in the Washington area will be held tomorrow. There are several outdoor pit stops in the region, including six in Prince William County and one in Manassas, where riders can stop off for a free t-shirt and for some water (we’ll list those locations at the bottom of this post), and participants must register online for an appointment in which to visit the pit stop and get the free t-shirt.
Eight people got out of a house in Stafford County just as they smelled smoke.
Stafford County fire and rescue tells us what happened:
Greater Prince William and surrounding communities are invited to participate in the Inaugural Juneteenth Parade in the Town of Dumfries on June 19 at 7 p.m.
The parade route will begin at the corner of UMC Dumfries, at 3890 Cameron Street and conclude at the Dumfries Slave Cemetery with a candlelight vigil in honor of the ancestors, music, and reflection.
