Benjamin Thomas was only 16 years old when he was tortured and lynched after being falsely accused of assault. No one was ever held accountable for his murder.

We remember Benjamin's life which was stolen 126 years ago today.

This was my exact thought!!

To be clear, the bike lanes are only under the bridge. You have to merge on to the sidewalk or with cars after. Sanger is now 24 hour parking so one travel lane in each direction instead of 2. Lots of daylighting. Not the ideal but an improvement.

Same!

Text exchange with my son Son: have you seen the bike lanes under the bridge by on Sanger? Me: (photo of the back of my husband biking on new lanes with flexiposts and green paint) I have!! Son: there so nice

I took this pic to share the long awaited bike/ped infra on Sanger. My son, without prompting, shared his enthusiasm with me.

While I would have loved wider sidewalks, it is expensive to pour concrete so the flexiposts of the bike lanes help with ped safety.

Holding space for you. I spent my winter vacation sitting with my daughter in an airbnb as she wrote her essays. It will happen, just at the last minute, and when she wants it. Torture is what it is.

A short stretch of new bidirectional bike lanes protected by flexiposts under a bridge.

Alexandria people who like bikes, beer, or pizza!

BPAC is celebrating the new bike and ped infrastructure on Mill Road. Meet us Monday, 8/11, at 6:30pm outside Atlas Brew works. We’ll check out the lanes and then have some drinks and food!

Happy happy birthday!

Woo hoo!!!!

Yes- i need to check AA out!

So glad to learn about here!!

I have only found Stitch Sew in Old Town and Fabric Basement in Fairfax. Anything else come up on your search?

Same.

Octopus a la brasa on 6 hour cooked potatoes with tomato confit and finally a sweetish pepper puree.

Hanging at Disney. Kids are at a Wicked food/fireworks something with family. We are enjoying Ursula for our anniversary.

A greenish drink with ice in a angled cup on a bar called Oga’s Cantina.

Cheers from the edge of the galaxy.

No kidding!!!

If you see this post a vampire.

I bought the cabaret subscription and I will be getting tix to Pippin also. The Signature Theatre is a treasure!!!

I had the po’boy. It was fine- more sauce and pickles needed and there was too much bread.

We are headed to the Folklife Festival.

We are on our way! Do you have any food recommendations?

Can we put this in the Duke Small Area plan?

The graphic that should have been made in 2016.

Stop saying “this is what America wants!”

Yes!! I love Tasha and I love the W. During quarantine, the W’s powerful social and political activism was inspiring. I am thrilled she is happy in NYC but I miss her here.

Now that the SC says parents can opt kids out of LGBTQ stories in schools, I assume the same applies to Christian stories? White supremicist stories? Stories that glorify white men?

So cool! I have not seen this.

Right!? Would I get an RV? Would I camp? Would I try to watch multiple parts of one stage- is that even possible? Would it be like watching the Kids Fun Run at the Pentagon where parents ran back and forth across the lot to see kids more than once?

There will be continuing bike facilities in that gap when the apartments get built.
