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.

Good Friday morning, Alexandria!

☀️ Today’s weather: Expect scattered showers to clear by 7am and patchy fog dissipating by 9am, giving way to mostly sunny skies with a high temperature near 57°F. A northwest wind will blow at 6 to 10 mph, accompanied by a 30% chance of precipitation. For Friday night, anticipate mostly clear conditions and a low temperature around 45°F, with northwest winds persisting at 8 to 10 mph.

Here’s a roundup of all the events, live music, and entertainment happening around Alexandria this weekend, Friday, November 15, through Sunday, November 17, 2024.
