MANASSAS PARK, Va. – Neighbors, city leaders, and community partners gathered at City Hall on Thursday, Sept. 4, to raise a special flag celebrating Manassas Park’s 50th anniversary as an independent city.
Mayor Alanna Mensing opened the ceremony by reflecting on the city’s history, from its beginnings as a subdivision in 1955 to achieving city status in 1975 — the last town in Virginia to do so. Mensing noted how the community has since grown into a full-service city with its own schools, police, and fire departments.
Wawa Opens New 24-Hour Store in Dumfries
Wawa opens its doors in Dumfries with a grand opening celebration! 🎉 We’re thrilled to have this new 24-hour location bringing convenience, jobs, and community spirit right here to Dumfries.
From the moment the curtain rises at Riverside Center for the Performing Arts, it’s clear The Sound of Music is something special. The production delivers one of Riverside’s finest performances in years, a show that captures the heart, lifts the spirit, and fills the theater with music audiences can’t stop humming.
Sarah Mae Andersen carries the show as Maria Rainer, leading with warmth, humor, and conviction. She anchors the story with a magnetic stage presence that makes you believe in Maria’s journey from the abbey to the Von Trapp home. Opposite her, Tim Rogan is a commanding Captain Georg von Trapp, projecting both the authority of a military man and the tenderness of a devoted father. Together, their chemistry grounds the show.
