Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat, Shop, and Play in Alexandria

Alexandria and DC have a complicated history. When the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 established the 100 square miles that would become the nation’s capital, Alexandria—founded in 1749 and one of the oldest cities in the country—sat within its boundaries. But representatives of Alexandria immediately wanted out: As part of DC, they’d lost their position as the county seat in Fairfax, they couldn’t vote in congressional and presidential elections, and political and economic discord grew. Eventually, the interest in retrocession became mutual as abolitionists sought to outlaw slavery in DC and wanted Alexandria—then a hub for the trade of enslaved people—to be moved back to Virginia. In July 1846, that happened. The city continued to grow, with its prosperity, according to the tourism organization Visit Alexandria, “inextricably linked to the work of enslaved and free African Americans,” whose stories make up much of the town’s past. Today, it combines centuries of history with modern-day shops, restaurants, and activities for residents and visitors alike.

CrossFit Woodbridge: Coaching, Community, and a Place to Begin

By Rebecca Barnes, Publisher, Prince William Living | Photos by Emely Martinez | Sponsored by CrossFit Woodbridge. A first visit to CrossFit Woodbridge starts with a conversation. Newcomers can talk with a coach about their experience, goals, and any limitations before choosing how to begin. Owners Hanna Hawkins and Nadine Shurland say that approach matters because many people assume they need to be in shape before trying CrossFit. “You don’t have to be fit to start CrossFit, and you don’t have to be an athlete to belong here!” the owners explained.

Maryland "is facing an energy crisis," utility Pepco says

"Maryland is facing an energy crisis," electric utility Pepco warned in a message to customers Thursday. "When demand for electricity is high and supply is limited, it puts pressure on the system and can increase costs," the message said, advising that customers "may see changes in your energy bill" as the region enters the winter months. The utility again has attempted to explain that many of the surging costs are not its responsibility, such as the taxes and fees imposed by Montgomery County and Maryland state governments. It specifically mentioned the EmPOWER Maryland fee that the Maryland legislature recently hiked again. Politicians hope that you will think Pepco is charging you these fees, which is part of the impetus for the utility to inform customers to the contrary.
