Thank you, everyone, for your support and encouragement. Tiger found his way home this morning, the 26 of April. I guess he smelled my stinky shirt or perhaps the food; either way, we are grateful to have him home #reunited

What are the go-to places for teenager sports equipment? My granddaughter is really getting into volleyball and I would like to send her a gift card to somewhere. She gets tons of Amazon gift cards. Looking for something a little different! Thank you!

Attention: We wish to alert our community to an incident that occurred at Vaso’s Mediterranean Bistro on the evening of 4/30/24 and again with another person on 5/1/24 that I believe they are working together A patron left without settling their $133 bill after informing our server they were stepping out for a smoke, and the other person next day 5/1/24 saying he was waiting for his girlfriend. These matters have been reported to the Alexandria Police, and we are proactively sharing information with neighboring restaurants. Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior.
