va: THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY RESIDENT'S "STAYCATION" - 07/08/08 02:07 PM
One of the reasons we have enjoyed our 25 years in Prince William County is the variety of reasonably priced or free recreational opportunities that are available. 
There is something happening each and every day of the week for every age group regardless of their interests. It makes no difference if you live in Manassas, Dumfries, Triangle, Manassas Park, Woodbridge, Occoquan, Haymarket or Gainesville - these opportunities are provided by the Prince William County Park Authority, National Park Service, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and The United States Marine Corps
Two federal parks PRINCE WILLIAM FOREST PARK (17,000 acres) and MANASSAS NATIONAL … (8 comments)

va: 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)

va: JULY CONCERT IN WOODBRIDGE, PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA - 07/07/08 01:36 AM

 
THE OLD BRIDGE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA was founded in 1999.  It is a musician-run group that is dedicated to providing concert for residents of Eastern Prince William County.
The orchestra performs regularly at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church on Valleywood Drive in Lake Ridge. The size of the orchestra and the sanctuary's acoustics work together beautifully.  In its' short existence the OBCO has found a loyal following.  The OBCO has chamber ensembles that regularly perform for community events, business gatherings, and private parties.

va: OCCOQUAN RIVER FESTIVAL JULY 27, 2008 - 07/07/08 01:34 AM
 

 
 
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. 
It is being celebrated on both the Fairfax County and Prince William County side of the river.  On our side of the river the majority … (2 comments)

va: WHERE ARE THE GOOD SCHOOLS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA? - 04/14/08 12:14 AM
 

 
Over the past 32 years as a full time real estate broker I've had that question asked more times by inbound clients than I care to count.
Fortunately, it is a very easily answered question.  There are good schools throughout Northern Virginia.
That is as far as I am qualified or willing to go on the subject.  Unlike many real estate agents I recognize that one family's perception of a "good school" may not be another family's perception of a "good school".  Additionally, special needs frequently enter the equation of what a child needs as an integral part of their … (1 comments)

va: 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)

va: 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.
