WOODBRIDGE — Things got a little more exciting in Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Region recently when the District of Columbia, Montgomery County, Md. and Northern Virginia were named as finalists in the Amazon’s search for an east coast hub.

Dubbed “Amazon HQ2,” cities from all over the U.S. this past fall entered the contest, hoping the largest online retailer would choose their city, town, or county as the retailer’s second headquarters. The new offices would bring some 50,000 jobs to wherever the company decides to locate its HQ2. The second headquarters is billed as a complete equal to the company’s sprawling headquarters in Seattle.

WOODBRIDGE — Like little control freaks, people flock to Duck Donuts because they like to demand what toppings come on their doughnuts. The shop, with locations in Bristow, Stafford, and Woodbridge, offers toppings Oreo Cookies, vanilla drizzle, to bacon bits.

“We had a lot of demand for doughnut holes while people would see them being made for catering packages, wanting to know if they could buy them in smaller batches in the store. So now we’re offering them in a small, medium, and large size for customers during the week,” said Duck Donuts owner Larry Scherer.

From Facebook:

OCCOQUAN’S GOLDEN GOOSE WILL BE CLOSING AND PAT & LAVERNE ARE RETIRING . This has been such a difficult decision as we have such fun knowing our customers and in an “old fashioned shop way”, having time to talk and enjoy each of you. The thing we will miss the most is good conversation, discussing how to display your Dept. 56 villages, which Byers’ Caroler would be best in your display and finding just the right ornament for your family….by the way this year’s most interesting request for an ornament was “a brain”….no, that one we didn’t have.
