A Story of Three Irish Cows — Tuning in to St. Patrick and More

From garage band to “Irish musicians.”

For a couple weeks each March, "Irish musicians" sprout like crabgrass. Many assume an imperfect brogue to hide bluegrass or country western underpinnings. It is not held against them, though.

Dozens of community members woke up early on their day off Monday to help the Reston Community Center with its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration. The day began with a march from Southgate Community Center to the Reston Community Center, featured a day of volunteer projects and ended with the presentation of community service awards.

Treaty of Four Mile Run?

A potential compromise to ongoing dispute between Arlington and Alexandria.

Back in October 2010, Northern Virginia Streetcar Coalition chairman Tim Lovain feared what he called a "disaster" on the horizon — transit corridor commuters may be facing a day when they would have to get off an Arlington streetcar and board an Alexandria bus.

Remembering a Promise To Remember

Alexandria war memorial is decaying.

The monument in front of Alexandria's railroad station is a pledge that residents who die in wartime service never will be forgotten. How, then, could the monument itself be so forgotten? On Monday, Nov. 11, 1940, a crowd of 3,000 gathered for the dedication. Speakers, whose words were not recorded, undoubtedly said the sacrifices of the dead would be remembered forever. But time has affected the stones representing those promises. Decay has set in. Joints are opening. Mortar and caulking have fallen aside, preparing the way for further damage. Those who participated in the long-ago ceremonies would be taken aback at what is visible today.
