Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Damaged Power Line Closes Locust Street In Herndon (patch.com) — Drivers in Herndon are being rerouted after a damaged power line forced the closure of Locust Street between Elden Street/Sterling Road and Fifth Street, with Dominion Power working on repairs expected to last several hours. Police are directing Herndon Middle School traffic to use Elden Street and Grace Street instead, and advise local commuters that no firm reopening time has been announced yet.
• Owners of Herndon's longstanding Upholstery Shop seek to add private events hall (ffxnow.com) — Herndon residents may soon get a new private events venue, as the longtime Upholstery Shop on Elden Street seeks town approval to convert its first floor into "Herndon Hall." The Planning Commission will discuss the proposal tonight at 7 p.m. in the Herndon Police Department community room, weighing potential noise, traffic, and parking impacts before a fuller review in November.
• Need a Ride? (fairfaxcounty.gov) — Older adults in Herndon can get free volunteer rides to medical appointments and essential errands through NV Rides and the Shepherd's Center of Northern Virginia, which specifically serves Herndon and nearby communities. The article also outlines Fairfax County and regional transit discount programs, including TRIP100, Metro reduced fares, and Metro Lift, to help lower transportation costs for eligible residents.
