1+ hour, 20+ min ago (356+ words) The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted to officially oppose a casino in Tysons Corner unless certain conditions are met. News4s Joseph Olmo has the details. Fairfax County leaders voted to oppose any legislation in Richmond that would permit a casino to open in Tysons Corner Tuesday night. Over the past few years, legislation opened the door to build a Las Vegas-style gaming casino near the Spring Hill Metro station. On Tuesday night, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors met for nearly an hour to vote on if they approve or oppose the casino being built. One supervisor said he was "really tired of talking about casinos." Multiple supervisors voiced their opinions on the casino. One supervisor said that Fairfax County residents would reject it "as every poll has shown." Another supervisor said that while he's not saying there should be…...

2+ hour, 26+ min ago (707+ words) And in October, the school scrapped its beloved Hispanic Heritage Month parade, when immigrant parents typically dressed their children in costumes and soccer jerseys from their home countries. ICE had begun stopping staff members, all of whom have legal status, and school officials worried about drawing more unwelcome attention. All of this transpired before ICE officials arrested a teacher inside a Spanish immersion preschool in Chicago in October. The event left immigrants who work in child care, along with the families who rely on them, feeling frightened and vulnerable. At CentroN'a, CEO Myrna Peralta said all staff must have legal status and work authorization. But ICE's presence and the fear it generates have changed how the school operates. "That really dominates all of our decision making," Peralta said. Instead of taking children on walks through the neighborhood, staff members push…...

3+ hour, 51+ min ago (232+ words) WASHINGTON " Beginning Monday, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is changing 50 bus routes across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia." Notably, Metro is launching a new bus route -- the A29 -- which will take riders from Alexandria to downtown D.C. and back. The new route is funded through the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission's I-395/95 Commuter Choice grant program. The C53, which travels between the Duke Ellington Bridge and Congress Heights, will be piloting a new strategy to manage bus service, called headway management. Instead of simply deploying buses on a specific time schedule, Metro will monitor the lead time between buses in an effort to improve reliability. They said they will also use other tools, like cameras and new computer systems to help ensure buses arrive more consistently and reduce gaps and bunching. Once they assess the effectiveness of headway management, Metro says their team could implement the system…...

6+ hour, 8+ min ago (516+ words) December 10, 2025, 4:29 AM Patuxent High School senior Evan Jones spent most of the season playing wide receiver when the Panthers were on offense. He was a threat to score every time he touched the ball and coach Steve Crounse knew the pressure that put on opposing defenses. When a teammate suffered a broken collarbone in the regular season finale, however, Crounse knew the most logical replacement was Jones. But the veteran coach also didn't want to compromise Jones' ability to make plays on the perimeter of the field. "He went off," Crounse said. "He did everything for us. He's a super dynamic kid. He holds every receiving record for us at Patuxent." That included making three tackles with 1.5 tackles for loss and breaking up two passes from his cornerback position on defense. For his efforts, Jones was named the Military Bowl…...

11+ hour, 8+ min ago (629+ words) FAIRFAX, Va. " For several hours, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors heard from residents about two hot-button issues." One, surrounding how much it'll cost you if your car gets towed. The other, about the zoning rules in place for electrical substations. The substations are one of the key pieces of infrastructure required to power data centers." The Planning Commission voted 11-0 in October, recommending the adoption of a zoning amendment that included several revisions, including substations not to be built within 200 feet of homes, and a public review process for proposed substations. Tuesday night, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted 9-0 to move forward with staff recommendations that include a requirement for substations to be built at least 100 feet from homes, but didn't exactly fall in line with the Planning Commission's recommendation. "Complete utter and utter devastation," said Tyler Ray, reacting…...

11+ hour, 51+ min ago (191+ words) That will tide us over until The Elder Scrolls 6 releases in 80 years Skyrim's lead artist has acknowledged that the sheer number of Skyrim ports available is a major joke at this point. Just when you thought Bethesda might have run out of ways to re-release Skyrim, a new version of the now-14-year-old RPG has arrived on Switch 2. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim " Anniversary Edition was shadowdropped yesterday onto Nintendo's new console, and it sure is Skyrim again. He adds, "There's a whole new generation who might be getting a Switch 2 for the first time, and that's the first time they've ever played Skyrim. So that's really it." Given that The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be out until at least 2070 at this rate, I'd expect we'll see more versions of Skyrim down the line anyway. The NEX Playground outsold the PS5 one week…...
