Obviously, a lot has changed in the world since the last newsletter. Stay safe, and look to reliable sources of information. The City’s update page is https://www.alexandriava.gov/Coronavirus.

In Rosemont, playgrounds and fenced recreation areas are closed (such as at Maury Elementary, the Sunset Mini-Park, Beach Park, and the Hooff’s Run tennis court). Unfenced parks are open but please be responsible and maintain social distancing.

Also, local restaurants – such as Lena’s (https://www.lenaswoodfire.com) and the Grape + Bean (https://www.grapeandbean.com/pages/Rosemont.html) in Rosemont – are open but not offering dine-in services.
