Ashburn

When I told my baseball buddies I was broadcasting lacrosse recently, the look I got was similar to the one my son Jack gave me when his mother made him eat his vegetables at the dinner table. I'm not going to lie, one year ago I gave the same look when my colleague Derek LeComte said we needed to broadcast more lacrosse on the Gameday Radio Network.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Sofia Taj, 35, of Ashburn, who lost her life in an accident that occurred on Route 7 near the intersection of Claiborne Parkway at approximately1 a.m. on Saturday, May 23. 

Since 2006, Loudoun County has had only one surviving dairy operation: Dogwood Farm outside of Purcellville, which has been run since 1847 by generations of the Potts family. Throughout the county, the once-common sight of black-and-white dairy cows grazing in open green fields has been replaced by growing suburbia. Today, some of the open fields used for grazing cattle or growing hay can still be found, but the dairies are gone.
