Much like our sister sites, ALXnow is an advertising-funded local news outlet.

Thanks to our advertisers, we can bring you the latest Alexandria news without a paywall, pop-ups, or other things that limit access or hinder the user experience.

We wanted to take a moment on our launch day to acknowledge McEnearney Associates, our first advertiser and launch partner. It is thanks to McEnearney’s commitment to the Alexandria community that you are reading ALXnow today.

McEnearney may serve the greater D.C. area, but its hyper-local knowledge of the Alexandria market — and its 109 S. Pitt Street headquarters in Old Town — sets it apart here. In the coming days, expect to see some Alexandria-focused real estate content from McEnearney on these pages.

Please join us in thanking McEnearney for its support of local media, including ALXnow.
