Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Outdoor Music, New Townhouses and an Address Appeal Head to Alexandria Council (thezebra.org) — Outdoor entertainment in Del Ray and several townhouse projects across Alexandria are up for public hearing at City Council's Saturday meeting, which residents can attend in person or online. The docket also includes tax rule tweaks and an address dispute, and locals still have time to review details and sign up to speak.
• License Plate Reader Dashboard and Response to City Council Questions on Flock Cameras (alexandriava.gov) — Del Ray residents are directly affected by Alexandria Police's license plate reader program, which helped identify a repeat indecent-acts suspect in the neighborhood last year. This detailed Q&A explains how ALPR data are audited, how long information is kept, what protections exist around privacy and reproductive health, and how the city may transition away from Flock cameras with upcoming community meetings.
• Alexandria Women Raise a Glass to Cops at Chicks & Cocktails Fundraiser (thezebra.org) — Women gathered at a Del Ray home for the Chicks & Cocktails for COPS fundraiser, raising close to $10,000 for the Alexandria Police Foundation and community-police programs. The evening highlighted Del Ray leaders, women-owned local restaurants, and the city's strong female representation in government and policing, while emphasizing neighborhood support for public safety.
