Northern Virginia got a little snow this morning. An inch. That single inch of snow caused a 52-car pileup on I-95 in Prince William County. It all started when a truck and a semi collided.

The Free Lance-Star reported today that a Spotsylvania County resident was hit on I-95 in Stafford. The story doesn’t say if the man survived, but apparently his injuries were severe.

The squad conducts a fund raiser on Caroline Street [...]

Part of what I hope to do on this website is highlight other local Fredericksburg area businesses. Starting my own solo law firm has given me a renewed respect for local entrepreneurs. Since I’m a coffee lover, I like to try the coffee shops around Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties. Tickers Coffee is one of my [...]

Did you know that the Fredericksburg City Council is considering an important residential zoning change? There is a public hearing on March 25 that all property owners and residents of Fredericksburg should attend. This isn’t a small matter. I admittedly haven’t followed this issue very closely, since I rent in Spotsylvania County. But the proposed [...]
