STAFFORD, Va. — Shots were fired into a townhouse on Cummings Drive about 10:30 p.m. Friday.
No one was hurt, but the two people inside the house near the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office said they heard what sounded like gunshots. They went to investigate and found what appeared to be two bullet holes in a shattered rear glass door, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — It sits tucked away along U.S. 1 in Stafford County. Not like many roadside attractions, this quaint destination has a small bridge that carries cars across a stream into a gravel parking lot. The stone facade of the house and wooded surroundings denotes the uniqueness of the venue.
And then, as if almost you’ve been transported overseas, the sight of people wearing traditional German clothes not often seen outside of Oktoberfest, and you know this is not your normal chain restaurant.
Pacific Rim — Rated PG-13 — 1 star out of 5
Today I saw “Pacific Rim,” which should have been called Godzilla versus Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots. That’s what it looked like in the trailers, and that’s what it is.

Mom on the Run
I straighten up and shut the drawer, lavender booklet in my hand. I am so relieved. I mean, I knew I still had it, this medical records book has been closely guarded since the pediatrician gave it to me at my son’s four-day-old check-up in May of 1995. It’s got his height and weight and blood pressure for every check-up through to when he turned 16, plus, most importantly, I flip through, looking – aha, there it is! – his vaccination record.
