MANASSAS — Write by the Rails (WbtR), the Prince William Chapter of the Virginia Writer’s Club, is pleased to announce the launch of an area-wide poetry installation entitled “Poems Around Town.”

The brainchild of WbtR vice president Jan Rayl, the arts initiative is meant to encourage residents and visitors to “stop and read a piece of literary art they might not otherwise even glance at, something short that will get them thinking in a different way.”


MANASSAS — The word “repositioning” was used a lot during a Tuesday night meeting of the Manassas Economic Development Authority.

The body met in the city’s second-floor conference room to work on a new strategic plan. At the heart of the organization’s mission — find opportunities to bring new business to the city, and increase tax revenues in city coffers.
