ALXnow’s top stories this week in Alexandria

Another week down in Alexandria. This week, some of the top stories were restaurant related.

One of the bigger stories was BRABO Brasserie at 1600 King Street getting replaced with Midwest breakfast/brunch restaurant chain HomeGrown: A Daytime Eatery. There was some contention over whether or not Kansas counts as “mid-west” and whether or not sweet potatoes are appropriate materials for pancakes. On the latter part, at least, the only way to answer that will be to try it when HomeGrown moves in.

The most-read stories this week were:

  1. Notes: Washington Post releases list of top nine restaurants in Alexandria (12911 views)
  2. French restaurant in Old Town being replaced with Midwest breakfast/brunch chain (5410 views)
  3. Alexandria Police arrest man wielding knife trying to board buses on Duke Street (4068 views)
  4. ACPS converts Patrick Henry and Jefferson-Houston schools in proposed Capital Improvement budget (3006 views)
  5. Here’s the four conceptual design options for Alexandria’s Market Square (2620 views)
