    And what a weekend it is going to be! Whether you are Foxfield-ing it, parade-ing it, or golf-ing it, this weekend promises to be a hot and fun one. For me, I'm attending the Foxfield event at Farmington tonight to benefit Service Dogs of Virginia. It's a casino-themed party, so [...]

    The 'restoration' on the Downtown Mall sucks. I'm sure it's needed and in the long run will make our fair pedestrian walkway a better place for mankind, but right now, it's a pain. Traffic is slower. Entrances to the businesses are blocked or altered in some way. Frankly, it's tough [...]
