Annual membership sales end Sunday, June 18

By Uriah Kiser
PLN Founder and Publisher Uriah Kiser at Manassas Regional Airport.

Did you see our EXCLUSIVE report about the Manassas Airport commission unanimously voting to approve a plan to bring pass jet airline service to the city? Described as a “game-changer,” the service would provide an alternative to Dulles or Reagan National airports and realize a dream in the mid-1990s to bring passenger airline service to the state’s busiest general aviation airport.

Did you see our reporting on Stafford County’s continuing discussion on how it plans to remake “downtown Stafford,” the area around the courthouse? We were the only local news organization in the room to bring you the inside scoop on what types of businesses elected leaders say they want to see open shops on what is now county-owned land.

Post an obituary to honor a loved one

By Uriah Kiser

The obituary page featured the life stories of those who built and served our communities and their photos. It provided a place where readers could not only know of their passing and accomplishments but also a place where they could be memorialized.

While we don’t print a newspaper, our obituary page here at PLN works similarly and provides the same features and benefits.

Thank you, Ms. Siepel, for inviting me to come and speak to your business and marketing classes at North Stafford High School

By Uriah Kiser

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.

Happy Thanksgiving

By Uriah Kiser

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.

This Thanksgiving, as we do each year, will take a break for a holiday and reflect on the many blessings in our lives.
