Group unloaded a semi-truck load at Lorton food bank Thursday.
Senate candidate and former Gov. George Allen stopped by a Fort Belvoir/Mount Vernon food drive over the weekend, to contribute to an effort that netted more than 11,000 pounds of goods for area food banks. "At our food drive in Fort Belvoir - Mount Vernon we had a special guest — former Gov. George Allen stopped by to make a donation! We were grateful he would take the time to participate in our food drive in his community," said organizer Christina Thomlinson, in an e-mail Sunday.

Family is in Senate race ‘110 percent’ after ‘06 campaign led to ‘toughest year of our lives’
As George Allen roams the state of Virginia in his quest for a second chance to reclaim his seat in the U.S. Senate, he invariably begins many of his sentences with “Susan and I…” Susan is the former Susan Brown, now Susan Allen, his wife of 25 years, former first lady of Virginia, mother of three and self-described “sidekick” on the campaign trail. The two are a little Bill and Hill, a little Ron and Nancy. “After losing in 2006, we never envisioned him running again,” Susan Allen said in a recent interview at Hollin Hall Pastry Shop in Fort Hunt near the Allens’ home in Mount Vernon.

It was a soggy morning on Wednesday, but local residents who frequent the Mount Vernon Farmers' Market were treated to an appearance by former Virginia first lady Susan Allen, wife of former Republican Gov. George Allen, who is running for the U.S. Senate. Susan Allen talked up local candidates and local issues with shoppers at the market, held weekly at the Sherwood Regional Library parking lot, 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane. The Allens live in Mount Vernon and have three children. George Allen served in the U.S. Senate from 2001-2007, but lost a reelection bid in 2006 to Sen. Jim Webb, a Democrat. With Webb announcing his retirement from the Senate earlier this year, Allen is campaigning for his old job. The election is set for November 2012…

This is slightly off topic but something I've been curious about. I lived in the area for at least 2 years passing by the Mormon church by Cedar Knoll not realizing it was a church. Why isn't there a sign on the lawn identifying it as such? Most churches post times of worship/events etc. Is there a parkway regulation that prohibits it? more ›
