Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Pedestrian killed in I-395 crash over Labor Day weekend identified (ffxnow.com) — An Annandale man has been identified as the pedestrian killed on I-395 in Lincolnia over Labor Day weekend, one of 15 pedestrian deaths in Fairfax County so far this year. The crash remains under investigation, while state and county officials stress that walking on interstates is illegal and are ramping up enforcement and education campaigns to improve pedestrian safety at local intersections.
• They Were Artists, Advocates, and Rising Stars. Then America Let Them Die: 11 Young Black Women with Public Profiles Killed in 2026 (shinemycrown.com) — Annandale readers are directly touched by the inclusion of Dr. Cerina Fairfax, a well-known local dentist killed in an April murder-suicide at her Annandale home, in a national list of 11 slain Black women with public profiles. The piece places her death in the broader crisis of violence against Black women, sharing sobering statistics, context on intimate partner abuse, and resources for those seeking help or wanting to support advocacy groups.
