Cookouts for historic building restoration
It was about noon on a sultry Saturday in July, and the aroma of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs wafted down a small side street in downtown Leesburg.

Parents of schoolchildren who live in and around the Exeter neighborhood in Leesburg are organizing to keep school buses running in their community.
Some Exeter residents say that new walking routes proposed for their neighborhood are dangerous and that parents who drive their children to school instead of allowing them to walk will add to congestion on North King Street near Tuscarora High School and Smarts Mill Middle School.
