Please, let's try to help our local businesses. We don't want to see King street turn to just chain and drug stores. We have great stores all over, just make the effort to find them on king street or in the side streets.

So you will spend $50.00 to get your first drink. Does that all make sense? Have you been there?

I know the bottom floor was being remodeled but the top was still open for a while. Does anyone know what's up? Are they going to re-open? Will the bottom still be an upscale restaurant and the top a bar?

It looks like the building is for sale. A few months ago there was speculation that Neighborhood Restaurant Group was interested in the space. Any new news?

The city's costs of operation were expected to come from the transportation package approved by the State Legislature last March, but with those funds now scuttled by a long-running Loudoun County suit which was scuttled by the State Supreme Court, where will the money now come from? Trolley riders ...

The current bailout proposal—including the one the Senate will vote on this week—will not stop the decline in home prices that drags down the entire economy. Is this bill a boon to Wall Street, as some say? Does it achieve ...
