Good morning, Alexandria. Sunny and 69 today, clear and 45 tonight, and more of the same tomorrow. If you were up between midnight and 4, those may have been the region’s drone exercise overhead; it runs again tonight and Wednesday night.
Tonight is a full one for local government. The School Board holds its public hearing on the $370.6 million capital plan at 6 p.m. at 1340 Braddock Place, with the “Let’s Talk ACPS” town hall following in the same room. City Council meets at 7 p.m. at Del Pepper with a heavier-than-usual docket; details are below. All of it streams online.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. No school, no city offices, no trash or recycling pickup (everything slides a day through Friday; compost runs as usual), and no parking enforcement. The city reads the names of Alexandria’s 68 Vietnam War heroes at 1 p.m. at Mount Vernon Recreation Center, and a new exhibit on the Naval Torpedo Station opens at the Torpedo Factory. DASH’s written comment deadline on the bus cuts is also tomorrow.
Here’s what you need to know for Tuesday, Nov. 10.
