A new Books-A-Million store is coming to Stafford Marketplace, marking the return of a major bookstore to the busy Garrisonville Road shopping center.
The new store will open in the former Party City space, covering about 13,000 square feet, next to where a larger Borders Books & Music once operated before the chain closed its doors nationwide more than a decade ago.
Registration is now open for the 4th Annual Halloween Houses O’ Lights contest, a community tradition that invites residents to showcase their creativity with festive Halloween decorations.

MANASSAS PARK, Va. — Manassas Park Police say they seized more than 30 illegal gaming machines during coordinated raids Thursday at multiple businesses across the city.
Detectives executed eight search warrants on October 9, 2025, after an investigation into illegal gambling operations that began with two citizen complaints earlier this year. Police say surveillance at several establishments confirmed the use of the machines, which resembled arcade-style devices offering cash or prize payouts.
Prince William County leaders cut the ribbon Wednesday morning on the Regional Crisis Receiving Center (CRC) — a long-anticipated mental health facility designed to give residents immediate access to behavioral health care, day or night.
Governor Glenn Youngkin joined local officials, state partners, and community advocates in Woodbridge for the ceremony outside the newly renovated building on Worth Avenue, near Potomac Mills. The governor, who previously toured the site in May 2023, called the opening “one of the most major milestones in the transformation of behavioral health, not just in the Commonwealth, but across the nation.”
