A display ad unit that links to your Facebook or Twitter pages — it gives you the opportunity to have a new ad on Potomac Local any time you want one by simply updating your Facebook or Twitter accounts. The reader is taken to either your Facebook or Twitter page after they click on your ad.

Over the winter months, Historic Manassas, Inc. in partnership with the City of Manassas, held a Banner Art Competition. This competition was for artists from Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. to create original art that, if selected, would hang from the City of Manassas’ light poles. The competition was the brainchild of Debbie Haight from Historic Manassas, Inc. who formed a small committee to make the dream a reality.

So, the next time you are in Historic Downtown Manassas, make sure to take the time to look up and appreciate the art.
