Yesterday, I stood outside Christ Church for several hours with thousands of people in 33-degree weather, watching a Buddhist monk who has been walking for 107 days, tell us to brush our teeth.

Not exactly. But sort of.

Good marketing opportunity for these organizations to reach more than just their base. They just need to spread the word about their good work.

If folks want to send me the links info, I can try to round them up in one story and link out to them. And/or the survey takers should send out a press release promoting their questions and why they thought it was important.

Nasime is on the list at #12 (not #8) and Thompson Italian doesn’t appear on the list at all. Nasime is the only ALX on the list

Don't you have a sport story, or five, you owe me?

I couldn't find the dog's address, so I went to what it listed as its hometown.

Still waiting for the "real Alexandria" outrage on this story, btw.😂

Later this month, I'm sitting down with the Leadership Alexandria class to talk about education. Not the data. Not the blame. What it actually looks like when a community shows up for its kids. Thanks to the Chamber ALX for the invite.
