prince william county: AN OLD FASHIONED FAMILY RUN HARDWARE STORE IN WOODBRIDGE VA - 07/12/08 01:36 AM

 
This store in the Glendale Plaza on Dale Boulevard has survived the arrival of The Home Depot and Lowe's even though they are less than 10 minutes away.
It is a hardware store of the type you remember before the hardware super stores came to town.  When you go into Pitkins and say, "How do I -----?" there is someone there who will tell you and show you exactly what you need.
They also have a rental department with all the equipment Harry and Harriet Homeowner could possibly need for either major or minor projects.  Finally, they have two other stores - one … (0 comments)

prince william county: THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY RESIDENT'S "STAYCATION" - 07/08/08 02:07 PM

prince william county: CAN WE DRINK THE WATER IN PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY? - 07/07/08 06:29 AM
 
That is a question many newcomers ask.  After all, news organizations around the country occasionally report impurities in local or regional water systems.  Those of us in Eastern Prince William County have been drinking our water with confidence for many years.
The Occoquan, Woodbridge, Dumfries and Triangle Service Area of the Prince William County Service Authority draws 15 million gallons of water every day from the 1,500 acre Occoquan Reservoir.  It undergoes treatment at Farfax Water's Frederick P. Griffith, Jr Water Treatment Plant.  It is tested by the Service Authority at many points throughout the system.
Our water authority has the ability to draw … (4 comments)

One of the highlights of this year for those of us who live along the Occoquan River is the upcoming Occoquan River Festival on July 27.  The event commemorates the 400 year anniversary of John Smith's exploration of Chesapeake Bay and the watershed including the Occoquan River.  His trip was made in a 23' shallop.  The photo at the left is a working replica that is on display in the Maryland statehouse in Annapolis.

prince william county: WOODBRIDGE AND DUMFRIES VA COMMUTING (Part 1) - 06/23/08 09:41 AM
There are many reasons the Woodbridge area of Prince William County is home to so many military families.  This is the first in a series that will highlight those reasons.  Each part of the series will discuss a specific element of commuting, housing, schools, recreation, shopping and all the many factors a purchaser considers when deciding on a community.
One of the most misunderstood forms of commuting into the Pentagon and Washington, DC is SLUGGING. 

 The most comprehensive definition of slugging can be found on the slugging website - " Slugging is a term used to describe a unique form … (4 comments)

prince william county: ARE SCHOOLS AN IMPORTANT PURCHASING CONSIDERATION? - 04/09/08 02:55 AM
 
 
The majority of purchasers consider price, location, condition, features, transportation, shopping and recreation when deciding which home to purchase.  Not all purchasers are concerned about school quality, but they should be!!!!
The fact that you do not have children or do not plan to have children is not a consideration.  School quality is a major feature to many purchasers and will impact on one's ability to resell the home.  It should be in the "mix" of items to be considered by ALL PURCHASERS.
The question then becomes, "Where do I find the information?"
There are many sources of information available, … (8 comments)

prince william county: YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD WEEK IN DC IF - 03/29/08 02:12 AM
Congress doesn't pass any laws that spend your money wastefully or limit your freedom.  To the best of my knowledge it's been such a week.
This weekend in our nation's capital is very eventful and none of it required an Act of Congress.
Today marks the opening of the NATIONAL CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL a two week celebration of the gift from Japan in 1911.  Yes, 1911 - the initial trees were given then, but were diseased and replaced in 1912 which is the date the public recognizes.  One of the activities my husband and I enjoy is today's music by the Howard University Jazz Ensemble.
