Today's riddle: Is there anybody completely useless? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Choosing data centers: Keeping Loudoun rural (riverreporter.com) — Loudoun County leaders are wrestling with how to protect rural western areas, including farmland just east of Leesburg, from the rapid spread of lucrative data centers. The piece explains how zoning, the transition policy area, and new data center standards aim to concentrate growth near Ashburn while preserving small-town main streets and open space. It also captures growing resident pushback as warehouses and industrial uses edge closer to rural communities.
• Embryonic Autopsy resign with Massacre Records (lambgoat.com) — Leesburg metal fans can catch Embryonic Autopsy live at Tally Ho Theatre on February 17, 2027, as part of a North American tour with Nervosa and Castrator. The Chicago brutal death metal band has just renewed its deal with Massacre Records after completing a sci‑fi‑themed album trilogy. The tour brings their new chapter directly to a downtown Leesburg stage.
• Planning Commission Seeks More Answers on Western Loudoun Recreation Complex (blueridgeleader.com) — Loudoun County planners are pressing for more data before advancing a massive 142-acre Western Loudoun Recreation Complex near Purcellville, raising questions about groundwater, septic capacity, traffic, and athletic-field lighting. With some residents already traveling toward Leesburg for fields, commissioners—including Leesburg's representative—want detailed water studies, traffic updates, and another community meeting before recommending the project to the Board of Supervisors.
