A long-popular food festival in Northern Virginia is back for its 12th year.
The annual Taste of Vienna will be held this Saturday at the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department, providing patrons the chance to taste more than 30 different eateries all in one location.
A long-standing tenant of Vienna’s Maple Avenue corridor is soon closing its doors for good.
Crepe Amour, which has served up the sweet and savory dishes for nearly 13 years at 407 Maple Avenue E, will stop serving customers at the end of April.
Only a few seat remain available as Vienna prepares to host a Longest Table fund-raising event on Saturday, May 3 from noon to 2 p.m.
A total of 400 participants will be accommodated on two long tables placed on Mill Street, part of an international effort to support non-profit organizations.
Vienna residents officially have less than a month to check out books and other materials from Patrick Henry Library before it closes for a long-anticipated renovation.
The branch’s last day of service at 101 Maple Avenue East will be Friday, May 9, though any materials on hold will need to be picked up by May 6. Fairfax County Public Library (FCPL) finalized the date after providing an update to its Board of Trustees on Wednesday (April 9).
Two new eateries are coming soon to Maple Avenue in Vienna.
“Coming soon” signage has recently appeared in storefronts for Cuco’s Peruvian (146 Maple Avenue West) and Aroma Express (416 Maple Avenue East).
Trash bags and dirt bikes were among the “highlights” of the Town of Vienna Police Department’s past week.
Vienna police cited an 83-year-old man from Dunn Loring for illegal dumping on Wednesday (April 3) after they identified him as the source of a “suspicious black trash bag” dropped off at the police station (215 Center Street South) the previous morning, according to a recap of the week from March 28 through April 3.
Wistful remembrances mingled with excitement for the future, as local elected officials, library staff and community members gave Patrick Henry Library in Vienna an early send-off over the weekend.
The 13,800-square-foot library building, which has stood at 101 Maple Avenue East since 1971, is set to be replaced this summer. When the branch reopens in about two years, it’ll feature not only expanded and upgraded facilities, but also an entirely new name — the Vienna-Carter Library.
After weeks of negotiations and public complaints, Dominion Energy has agreed to reassess plans to clear nearly all trees near its power lines in the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Railroad Regional Park.
However, the pause won’t bring relief to Vienna and Dunn Loring, where the utility will finish clearing trees and brush along a 4-mile section of trail in conjunction with a transmission line replacement between its Clark and Idylwood substations, Dominion Senior Vice President of Electric Transmission Joseph Woomer said yesterday in a letter to the Northern Virginia Regional Parks Authority (NOVA Parks).
A truck caught fire after colliding with a sedan on I-66 in the Vienna area earlier this afternoon (Monday), requiring a shutdown of all westbound lanes.
Units with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department were dispatched to I-66 West prior to Nutley Street for the crash around 1:15 p.m., per scanner traffic.
The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NOVA Parks) is turning up the pressure on Dominion Energy to end widespread tree clearings along the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail.
At the regional agency’s request, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted 9-0 to approve a resolution on Tuesday (March 18) urging Dominion to halt reported plans to cut down any tree along the 45-mile-long trail that might someday interfere with its overhead power lines.
