I had a lot of fun today talking to Ms. Sharon Siepel’s business and marketing classes at North Stafford High School.
The bell rang bright and early at 8 a.m., where I stood before a class of about 25 students and talked about founding Potomac Local News, an online news business serving neighborhoods between Manassas and Fredericksburg. I also enjoyed speaking with Ms. Siepel’s 11:30 a.m. class.
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season are upon us. I’m surprised at how fast it creeps up on us every year. It seems like just yesterday I was writing about the end of the summer swimming pool season, and here we are on turkey day’s doorstep.

Potomac Local News continues to attract new members, who are critical in our mission to produce trusted, local journalism.

The post racked up one commenter who praised Potomac Local News for our coverage of Stafford County. “Everything is well presented, from action news articles, political news articles, law enforcement news, and community updates for all matters, etc. Stafford news is more current and vivid again with pictures that are ‘easy on the eye,’ so to speak,” Valerie Krain wrote.
I also received an email from a paid member who complimented us on our Stafford County coverage. I really enjoy the PLN – much better coverage of Stafford than the [Free Lance-Star],” wrote Elizabeth Daly.

A new Commanders football stadium in Virginia seemed like a sure thing last month. Today, a public-private deal to build a stadium and practice facility in the commonwealth is all but dead.
As you know, the Horner Road Commuter Lot in Woodbridge is one of the sites considered for a stadium and practice facility. Some local leaders salivated over the prospect of $24 billion in economic impact for the county, while others fear the crime and traffic a new stadium complex would bring.
