Pickleball was a smash hit at the 2021 Taste of Woodbridge event in Stonebridge Town Center.

On June 12, the Woodbridge Pickleball Club booth buzzed with excitement as volunteers introduced the sport to many enthusiastic new players. The streets lined with a temporary court held a steady flow of participants who experienced firsthand why pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the nation.

I remember the first time I covered a meeting of the Prince William County Planning Commission.

The body, appointed by members of the Board of County Supervisors, meets regularly and is tasked with making recommendations to the Supervisors on land-use matters. Putting simply, if a large development like a neighborhood of homes or a large shopping mall is built, plans for the new development have most likely passed through the Planning Commission.
