Treating mental illness and catching it early is particularly important in a State like ours thatRead More has concealed carry gun laws. If we look at the examples of murders in Virginia that were committed by people with concealed carry permits, we will see that they frequently involved the murder of family members. Perhaps early intervention and treatment might have saved lives in these cases. We know the chances of strengthening gun laws in Virginia are next to nil, so we had better start looking at ways to make sure that the people who legally have the guns are mentally and emotionally equipped to do so.

I believe that Del. Krupicka's forum on this very important subject will be held on Saturday, MayRead More 18, starting at 11:30 at the Lee Center, 1108 Jefferson St. (west of Route 1 near the Beltway).
Virginia Law May 27, 2013 at 12:16 am
A vote for Bryan Porter will be a vote to continue in the corrupt path that the City of Alexandria'sRead More Judicial System is on - We have Judges - Kemler, Dawkins and Clark who rule on Favoritism and Cronyism instead of the laws and the rules of the United States Constitution,the Virginia Constitution and the Supreme Court. Most cases that enter the courts in the City of Alexandria have been decided prior to going to trial. It is the attorney that can help one of these Judges that will win for his client - and for those attorneys that don't play the game - they will always loose and so will there clients - and they can be as has been done in the past threatened with bodily harm - Chicago has been known as the City of " Pay to Play "- Alexandria and the democrats are no different here - The line "Pay to Play" represents the Judicial System in Virginia and the City of Alexandria -

Looking at the satellite view, it seems there are great huge piles of condos and apartments to theRead More east, southeast (across Duke and Van Dorn) and northeast (across 395). The key to success is to put in the needed pedestrian and bicycle connections.
Kevin H. Posey April 30, 2013 at 08:39 pm
Excellent example regarding Cameron Station. The thinking was that the commercial strip would beRead More supported by the residential areas within Cameron Station. It didn't really work. There are a few businesses that serve the community, but it's nothing like the architectural renderings depicted. The new Landmark will be similar, but with even fewer residents to pull from. As Jonathan points out above, a mere look at Google Earth reveals large residential areas that Landmark should be able to pull from, but can't due to an outmoded road network that Hughes and City staff have not addressed in the first, and most critical, stages.

Shouldn't the New High Street Bridge handle the pedestrians? How about a pedestrian bridge fromRead More EOS21?

You did a wonderful job Susan. ACPS was lucky to have you.

The students of Alexandria benefited greatly from your leadership of the Scholarship Fund ofRead More Alexandria. Alexandria City Public Schools is losing an exceptional employee and individual.

Under Susan leadership the fund grew scholarships in both size and quantity. This is a greatRead More accomplishment. But Susan also inspired students to go to college. TC students learned how to apply for additional scholarships and financial aid. TC students helped with fund raising and the telethon, providing their own skin in the game. TC students get help in preparing personal statements for the college entrance process. When you see the students receive their scholarship, you begin to understand how Susan and SFA inspires our kids. Congratulations to Susan for an amazing run. Our many TC grads have you to thank for successful careers.

I think a Barnes & Noble should move onto the Avenue to compete with our new Little FreeRead More Library, forcing it to become more competitive. #Walgreens Obviously I'm kidding. This is a wonderful addition to our little neighborhood. There are so many nice things about Del Ray they no longer surprise me. I simply think to myself "Yep, That makes since in this neighborhood."
Lewis April 18, 2013 at 06:36 pm
Well put, and I'll join you in contributing a few books.
Cathy April 18, 2013 at 09:58 pm
Awesome! I was wishing we had one in the neighborhood. I was thinking of starting one myself, butRead More lacked the tools and skills to build one. I'll bring over some books for it sometime. (Love the poetry fence, too.)

David, So the moral of the story is that the next time you and your boyfriend are randomly walkingRead More around a dog park scared and confused about dogs (without dogs of your own) one should have a cell phone? I am so confused. You and you partner enjoy wandering around dog parks, without dogs of your own, and without a mobile phone. What else is missing in this relationship, condoms? For the sole purpose of whining on this forum? Can I get your job by chance? You seem to be low work output, sounds like a fed employee.

Mr. Dunning, My husband died six months ago.
