Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Route 28 Northbound Closed In Chantilly After Fatal Pedestrian Crash (patch.com) — Northbound Route 28 in Chantilly is shut down north of Route 50 after a fatal overnight pedestrian crash near the Air and Space Museum Parkway, snarling Wednesday morning traffic. Fairfax County Police are investigating and haven't said when lanes will reopen, so drivers in Chantilly should avoid northbound Route 28 and use alternate routes until the scene clears.
2. Chantilly volleyball riding hot into district play (fairfaxtimes.com) — Chantilly High's girls volleyball team has surged to a 9-2 record, powered by freshman setter Sofia Harris and strong leadership from captains Skyler Riley and Erin Green. With district play looming later this month, Coach Daniel Molina is stressing film study, serving consistency, and a one-game-at-a-time mindset as the Lady Chargers prepare for key matchups against Westfield, Oakton, and James Madison.
3. The Smithsonian's Arado Ar 234 Blitz is the sole survivor of the world's first operational jet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft (newsbreak.com) — Just down the road at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, you can see the world's only surviving Arado Ar 234 Blitz, the first operational jet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. The article traces its dramatic journey from World War II airfields to painstaking restoration and display, giving local aviation buffs another reason to revisit the museum.
4. EEOC alleges UPS ghosted deaf applicant who needed an interpreter (hcamag.com) — A federal complaint says a deaf applicant for an entry-level job at UPS's Chantilly facility was initially offered work, then told to stay home from orientation after requesting an ASL interpreter. The EEOC filing alleges the company delayed rescheduling and communication, raising questions about how a major local employer handles disability accommodations in its hiring process.
5. Gallagher Advises True Ground Housing Partners on The Linden Senior Residences (citybiz.co) — A new $64 million affordable senior housing community, The Linden Senior Residences, has opened just outside Chantilly, adding 130 units for residents 55 and older in Loudoun County. The development offers extensive amenities and is part of a larger mixed-use community, with a planned second phase to add family housing and create a multigenerational neighborhood accessible to local seniors and families.
