Belmont Ridge Rd.

Known as Royville, the center of the hamlet was the store owned by John C. C. “Chaney” Hough and his wife Ella. The rest of the village consisted of small number of homes, a school, and the large farms surrounding it. Members of the Spence, Sowers, Nickens and Overhall families–and later the Schultz, Stickman and Creighton families–lived in the immediate area.

Unknown subject(s) entered an unsecured barn in the 21100 block of St. Louis Rd. in Middleburg and removed four rabbits.

The brainchild of Leesburg resident and former Freedom High School baseball coach Chris Bourassa, Play to Win was proposed as a private sports center outfitted with six outdoor artificial fields and three more inside a 225,000-square-foot building. Multipurpose courts, office and retail space, an eatery and a swimming academy are also in the mix for this project, which is slated for 40 acres along Belmont Ridge Road just south of Route 7.

One of the nine victims in Monday’s auto accident in Brambleton has died. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office has announced that Jose Armando Romero, 28, of Herndon, died on Wednesday, July 22, as a result of injuries suffered in the crash.

Romero was a passenger in 1989 Ford E350 box van, which police believe went through an eastbound stop sign on Creighton Road, striking the side of a southbound 300 Ford F250 Crew Cab pickup traveling on Belmont Ridge Road.

According to a press release from the Loudoun County Sheriff, "At around 12:47 p.m., a 2000 Ford pick-up was traveling southbound on Belmont Ridge Road when it was struck on the passenger side by a 1989 Ford E350 box van that was traveling eastbound on Creighton Road."

As anyone experienced in real estate will tell you, the location of a property is paramount. The 174-acre Goose Creek Village project–now under construction on Belmont Ridge Road in Ashburn–is in a prime location, northwest of Broadlands between Brambleton and Lansdowne.
