Wilson Bridge trail encourages bike commuting between Pr. George’s and Northern Virginia – The Post
Years ago, not long after it opened, I raved about the Woodrow Wilson Bridge trail – The Wilson Bridge trail is wonderful. At the time, I thought it was mostly a “great to have” recreational facility, but it is becoming a [...]

Booming sales prompts Port City Brewing’s expansion – The Alexandria Times
Good news for beer drinkers, particularly those that like the hoppy stuff, my hometown brewery Port City is going to expand for a second time:
Owner Bill Butcher, a native of the city, is waiting for a trio of 120 barrel tanks to finish making their [...]

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — I have been critical in the past of the lack of signs along state numbered highways in the city and Northern Virginia region. Generally speaking, Alexandria does not post numbered routes with any regularity, especially the 400 series. Did you know that at least portions of Van Dorn Street, Quaker Lane and [...]

The completed Telegraph Road interchange near Alexandria, Va. concludes the nearly 13 year project to rebuild the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and approaches on the Capital Beltway (I-95 & I-495)

It may have snowed all day yesterday, but it [...]

Elsewhere in the Washington, D.C. region, accumulations varied and I hope to get a reading from Tysons in about 2 hours.

Magruder’s to sell its remaining stores in Washington region – The Post
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The other night I was in Magruder’s in Alexandria when I noted that that the shelves were pretty empty. I asked a cashier if they were closing and she said they were just clearing out the shelves a bit. I was [...]
