PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Prince William police are investigating a series of shots fired at houses over the weekend.
Two of the reports are about shots fired at homes in Dale City, specifically in the Hillendale and Kerrydale sections of town.
After seven years in business, and having to turn away hundreds of tourists due to space limitations, the Manassas Junction B&B is expanding.
Owners Mark and Ann Hempen plan to rehabilitate an existing outbuilding on the property into a 450-square-foot cottage suite for the Bed and Breakfast. The addition will provide a third “room” for guests; currently, two rooms are available for rent in the 2,700 square foot main house. As a long time residents of the City, the Hempen’s hope the addition will encourage additional tourists “to enjoy and be enriched by the history, culture, and friendliness of Manassas.”
Calling all horror fans: if you’re in for a good scare, then The 2016 Death Trail “Asylum” is the next on your Halloween to-do.
The Death Trail is an attraction just outside Dumfries that incorporates a good scare for horror fanatics, but the last five minutes of the trail is the real hook of the entire attraction.
The engine compartment of a Chevrolet Impala parked outside a Costco caught fire.
Fire and rescue crews were called to the big-box store at Potomac Mills mall about 12:15 p.m.
Diners in search of fast, novel, and delicious meals may soon have more choices as new rules enable food trucks to open for business in the City of Manassas.
Although food trucks have always been a fixture at Manassas events like the Fall Jubilee, and have always been permitted at private events, recent changes to the zoning ordinance make it possible for food trucks to open on a regular basis. The zoning change responded to a growing nationwide and local demand among consumers for food truck fare and a growing number of local vendors ready to open for business.
The Virginia Department of Transportation will replace a stormwater pipe at the intersection of Dale Boulevard and Darbydale Avenue.
