Today's riddle: What did the big rose say to the little rose? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Woodbridge Supervisor LaCroix: Bennett School Memorialization Makes Sense, Full Move Too Costly (potomaclocal.com) — Local leaders are weighing whether to demolish or memorialize the historic Bennett School as part of a $233 million courthouse expansion serving Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park. Preservation advocates, including a Manassas City councilmember, are pushing for adaptive reuse, while officials argue full relocation’s $54 million price tag is too steep for taxpayers.
• New development in Mamta Kafle Bhatt case: Hairs found on power saw (insidenova.com) — Investigators have submitted new forensic evidence from a power saw seized at a Manassas Park home in the disappearance of resident Mamta Kafle Bhatt, intensifying the case against her husband. State lab testing found human hairs and other material on the saw, which previously tested positive for blood linked to Bhatt, as prosecutors prepare for an October trial.
• MAGA-connected data center developer wants to move forward with Northern Virginia project (augustafreepress.com) — A massive data center complex proposed beside Manassas National Battlefield Park is still alive in court, even after Prince William County and another developer dropped out of the case. QTS, backed by Blackstone, is asking the Virginia Supreme Court to revive its 2,100‑acre Prince William Digital Gateway plan, while preservationists vow to keep the project from moving forward.
