Breanna Beasley spoke fondly of the fun times she had with her long-time friend London Colvin. “She can eat. We used to have eating contests so we could see who could eat more,” Beasley said.

“She loves to dance. Any kind of you music you put on, and she’s literally out there [dancing],” added Beasley.


In the field, most Marines consider MRE’s required sustenance. At the National Museum of the Marine Corps, they’re practically gourmet.

The museum at Quantico will hold “Meals Ready to Eat” (MRE) Cook-off on Feb. 7. They started this event three years ago in order to draw more attention to the Museum during the cold winter months.


There’s a new plan for Interstate 66 that looks a lot like what just happened on I-95.

Virginia transportation officials want to build more of those famous “managed lanes,” or toll lanes between U.S. 15 in Haymarket in Prince William to the Capital Beltway in Fairfax County, just outside Tysons Corner. Two new lanes would be added to each side of the highway and, like the 95 E-ZPass Express Lanes, drivers will pay a toll 24 hours a day to use them. The new lanes would be free to drivers with three or more occupants in their vehicles.


As the Prince William County School Board gears up for another budget cycle, it is timelier than ever to look closely at an important topic in local education – the current state of teacher pay in the county.

The average annual teacher salary, according to Jim Livingston, the Prince William Education Association president is $60,408 – a figure he pulled from a 2014 Washington Area Boards of Education  (WABE) report.  


This Wednesday night, Jan. 28, until Thursday morning, Jan. 29, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close multiple lanes on I-95 North near the truck rest area, mile marker 154.5, just south of Dale City (exit 156), leading up to a full road closure for up to 15 minutes after midnight.

A single lane will be closed after 9 p.m., followed by a second lane at 10 p.m. All lanes will close for up to 15 minutes between 1 and 2 a.m. These closures are needed to replace an overhead sign.
