It’s been a somewhat hectic week in Alexandria, with:
- a somewhat underwhelming storm following fears of a tornado and hazardous conditions
- an attempted murder suspect shot by U.S. Marshals in the Potomac Yard Shopping Center
- a report from the Alexandria Times that the Black Rabbit of Inlé previously visited the halal butchery on Colvin Street.
On that last story: Alexandria Planning Director Karl Moritz confirmed to ALXnow that rabbits are not, in fact, classified as poultry for city zoning purposes.
Next week it’s James’ turn for a break, so ALXnow readers will be left with yours truly for the week.
