This past weekend was the first time in nearly a month that I took some time off. Granted, it was only a day, but taking time for yourself is important, and it's nice to get away from time to time. I spent Saturday at my parent's home in Virginia(literally, smack dab in the middle of nowhere), and enjoyed the beautiful weather and some time with the dogs. They say happiness is a WARM puppy.

I found an aerial view of the proposed swan point site plan which should give a better idea of what exactly they are planning to build out there. Feel free to click on the photo for a larger image. It sounds like area residents are still concerned about the expansion (I would be too!), and now there is a little bit of a concern about the taxes. Last week the developer filed an application for the county's new tax increment financing (TIF) program, and the proposal goes something like this: The county would use public, tax-free bonds to … (1 comments)
