Alexandria Letter to the Editor: A Vegan Thanksgiving

Letter to the Editor: Two Ideas to Address Rape
To the Editor: As many of us recoil from the recent UVA sexual assault article in Rolling Stone, tremendous accusations are being thrown at the university and others like it across the country.

Alexandria Letter to the Editor: City’s Priorities?
Not only can North Old Town now boast a new monstrosity — the Harris Teeter with its garish gigantic red neon illumination — but this new red light district is going 24/7.

Already during a hearing at City Hall, another onslaught on local culture, food trucks, was opposed not only by restaurant owners but also by many of their patrons

Letter to the Editor: Meddling with Free Market
To the Editor: Justin Wilson’s latest cockamamie proclamation, which he made during a recent City Council meeting, is a demand that city government tell property owners the rents they may assess their tenants. And if the city doesn’t have the authority now to do so, then at least shame those landlords whom he believes are charging excessive rents.
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor: I urge my fellow Alexandrians to contribute generously to help fund the Alexandria Police Memorial honoring 18 Alexandria police officers who have given their lives in the performance of duty. The memorial will be located in a publicly accessible area in front of the new Alexandria Police Department Headquarters building on Wheeler Avenue.
Alexandria Letter: Saint Jane?
Letter to the Editor
I hereby nominate Dr. Jane Grayson for sainthood. All those in favor, say “Aye!”… I was picking up records at Alexandria Hospital and, stopped by the Cancer Center to leave a note for Dr. Grayson just to say, “Hi!” and that I’m doing well.
Letter to the Editor: Hunter Mill District Community Summit Explains Budget Process
Hunter Mill District (and other Fairfax County) residents missed a great opportunity to learn the facts about the County’s budget process and outlook if they didn’t attend March 4 Hunter Mill District Community Summit at the Frying Pan Park visitor’s center.
