The “Top Stories” post has to start with an apology and correction for the lead story.
As was noted on Twitter: the top story about a new milkshake bar in Old Town did not have a joke about the 2003 hit song by Kelis “Milkshake.” This was an oversight on the part of the site editors.
I am deeply disappointed in AlxNow for posting a whole article on a milkshake shop and not once mentioning how many boys it will bring to the yard.

The Crazy Mason will, surely, bring all the boys to the yard.
That aside, it was a big week for development in Alexandria. A West End office was recently converted into an apartment tower and a long-awaited affordable housing development in the Braddock neighborhood cleared City Council.
Inova also announced that it hopes for a 250-foot height allowance for the upcoming hospital project at Landmark.
