The Hall at City Hall is open with an inaugural exhibit by the p-ART-ners, a professional network of Manassas area artists. What is The Hall at City Hall? It is the new place for local artists to display their work. When Councilman Ian Lovejoy talked to City Manager W. Patrick Pate about replacing the 1980’s artwork in City Hall at low or no cost, an idea was born.
In 2009 the City Council created an Arts and Tourism District in the Historic Downtown area of the city. With City Hall being right in the middle of the district, why not bring public art inside City Hall? Staff was tasked with learning about gallery space and making the area ready for artist displays.

We could see about an inch of snow this afternoon into the evening hours,
A series of snow squalls are expected to move across the region. Here’s the latest from the National Weather Service:
Delegate Scott Surovell announced that he would be running for Linda “Toddy” Puller’s State Senate seat in the 36th district.
Puller has served in the State Senate since 1992 and announced her decision to retire from her seat this year.
Over the past four days, our region felt some of the most coldest temperatures of the year.
More snow, up to an inch, is in the forecast today. The mercury is forecast to dip down again Thursday with an expected high temperature of 17 and a low of two degrees while wind chill factors will make it feel colder than that.
This morning, the Prince William Fire & Rescue Department responded to a call for a tent fire on Minnieville Road in Woodbridge. The tent’s occupant, an adult male, was found with second-degree burns on his body. He was airlifted to the Washington Burn Center for treatment.
