Opinion

A large number of people in Prince William County are unsure what the Neabsco District is. Many folks actually pronounce the name, “Nabisco,” like the maker of Nilla Wafers, but alas, the Nilla Wafers have 313,000 fans, while the Neabsco Action Alliance page has a mere 87.

Pumpkin Frenzy Hits Farmers Market

Labor Day has come and passed. Do you know what this means? Yes, school is in session again, but that’s not all. Yes, traffic is terrible again, but that’s not what I’m talking about either.

Brace yourself- because it’s the time of year that people anticipate for many months. It’s pumpkin season. Starbucks has featured the pumpkin spice latte again, and grocery stores are stocking the shelves with Halloween candy (really, who’s buying it this early?). However, consider getting your fall pumpkin fix at the Farmer’s Market instead.
