Northern Virginia Fairfax Families for Safe Streets (NoVA FSS) cordially invites you to attend and support our upcoming World Day of Remembrance (WDoR) for Road Traffic Victims.
World Day of Remembrance is an annual event where we honor those whose lives were prematurely ended after being struck by a person driving. This year is particularly painful and sad as we think about the recent death of a 13-year-old Frost middle school student who was struck and killed by a person driving a truck on Pickett Road. We will also honor the nearly 30 other people (as of today’s date) who have been killed on Northern Virginia streets while, walking, biking, or rolling since last year’s day of remembrance.
Tops of Old Town owner Sheila Mitchell says her mom tricked her with prosperity.
Sheila is the owner of not only the only hat store in Alexandria (2400 Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray), but throughout Northern Virginia. There’s a hat kiosk at the Pentagon City Mall and a Hats In The Belfry in Baltimore, but that’s it for hat stores in this area.
The snow has cleared up and it’s sunny today, with sunny/partly cloudy conditions for the rest of the week until Friday night and Saturday morning, when it’s expected to snow again.
There’s a 70% chance for snow on Friday night, down to 40% on Saturday morning.
A snow day yesterday forced the Alexandria School Board to make its induction ceremony virtual, something School Board Chair Michelle Rief said typifies the way the Board has to adapt to crises.
“I’m disappointed it has to be virtual, but to new members it’s a befitting introduction to the life of a School Board member,” Rief said. “We often have to roll with the punches and have a Plan B.”
Good Tuesday morning, Alexandria!
