Today's riddle: What has to be broken before you can use it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Big Buns Reston Locations Add Burger Bundle, June Shake And Buffalo Wing Burger (patch.com) — Reston burger fans can take advantage of Big Buns’ new $9.99 Best Deal Bundle, which includes a classic burger, fries and a drink at the Reston and Franklin Farm locations. For June, the Reston-area spots are also featuring a Strawberry Watermelon Shake and a customizable Buffalo Wing Burger, with full hours listed for both nearby restaurants.
2. Final Votes Counted On Whether To Install Speed Humps In Reston Neighborhood (patch.com) — Residents along Fairway Drive in Reston have overwhelmingly approved a Fairfax County plan to install three speed humps after a two-year push to address chronic speeding on the residential street. With more than two-thirds of eligible households returning ballots and over 78 percent supporting the measure, the project now heads to county certification and state review before installation in several months.
3. Officials Outline Library, Shelter Timeline As Reston Town Center North Plan Advances (patch.com) — Reston residents heard detailed plans for reshaping Reston Town Center North, including a new Reston Regional Library, a replacement Embry Rucker Shelter, and a future elementary school site. County and Inova officials explained how rezoning will organize public facilities, housing, parks, and safer streets over many years, with public hearings set for July and September.
4. Lofts at Reston Station expansion heads to county board with mixed reviews (ffxnow.com) — A major expansion of the Lofts at Reston Station, adding 158 new homes and rebuilding local private roads, heads to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors next week after mixed community feedback. Reston’s Planning and Zoning Committee opposes the plan over design, open space, and snow-removal commitments, while county planners support it. Residents’ concerns could still influence Supervisor Walter Alcorn’s final vote.
5. The Best 5Ks and 10Ks to Run This Summer—2026 (runnersworld.com) — Reston runners can celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday close to home at the Firecracker 5K on Thursday, July 4, where part of each entry supports the USO. The national roundup of summer races spotlights this patriotic Reston event as an easy, festive option that fits into most training plans. Expect plenty of red, white, and blue on the course.
