• After 40 years in Centreville, Tippy's Taco House will close this month (ffxnow.com) — A longtime favorite, Tippy’s Taco House in Centreville’s Centrewood Plaza will close for good on June 14 after 40 years, as rising rent and the owner’s retirement end the franchise’s run. Regulars are rallying around longtime employees Lilibeth and Rizal Paniaqui, even launching a small GoFundMe, while the couple urgently searches for new jobs before eventually retiring to be near family.

The dip mirrors broader Fairfax County and national trends, as analysts say typical summer leasing season price bumps may still arrive even while year-over-year rents soften.
