We’re like this but for T.H.A.I. In Shirlington. We learned it was rated well for a specific food allergy and have never had a problem so they get 100% of our business
Is there a scarcity of abundance at the ALX library?!
cc @alexandriavagov.bsky.social See how easy it will be to share council meeting video excerpts when they're all on YouTube!
There was an excellent presentation on the rebranding at the March board meeting. I appreciated that the designer shared the rationale behind many of the choices. I highly recommend if you're a design geek. Direct link to where it starts at 1:05:35 in this video:

It’s so important to understand WHY the new Senate bill has such drastic provisions to kill renewable energy

Fossil fuel industry lobbyists and Big Oil-funded activists have been ALL OVER the GOP in recent weeks, telling them that clean energy jobs are “fentanyl jobs” and “a cancer”
The Senate is about to destroy clean energy to give tax cuts to billionaires
The bill could pass within the next 24 hours.
