Bon appétit! Bastille Brasserie & Bar (606 N. Fayette Street) is celebrating a milestone this Thursday, Sept. 17.

It’s the French restaurant’s 20th anniversary, and the evening features a one-night-only, $155 per-person four-course dinner with wine pairings. Chefs and owners Christophe and Michelle Poteaux opened the restaurant in 2006, and they’re calling the anniversary celebration “Icons at 20.”

Alexandria will soon embark on a two-and-a-half-year-long sewer separation project to reduce flooding in the city’s Westover neighborhood.

The city says that the sanitary sewer network in Westover, including parts of Bashford Avenue, Powhatan Street, Second Street, Colonial Avenue and Vernon Street, can’t handle intense storms. On Thursday, July 10, the city will host a design information meeting on their solution — the $2.6 million Colonial Avenue Sanitary Sewer Separation Project.
