It was another busy week in Alexandria, with a near disaster for Alexandria City High School students attending prom averted by local parents and a non-profit called Operation Deploy Your Dress.
There was also a fairly lighthearted interaction between local restaurant Hard Times and the Board of Architectural Review.
It was also a week for interactive maps helping to visualize both the city’s past and future: with one showing where neighborhoods were build on racially restrictive covenants and another showing the impact sea level rise will have on the city.
