If you are a resident of a Braemar, make sure you clean out your closet of any coats that you don't wear anymore that are in good condition.  Kids and/or adult sizes.  Sweaters, gloves, mittens, hats and scarves too. The Boy Scouts will be in the neighborhood on October 25th, starting at 8am, to pick them up. Just leave the coats outside your front door. If that doesn't work for you, there is one central drop off point.  The KinderCare parking lot in the Safeway Shopping Center.  Someone will be there to take your coats and accessories from 8am-2pm.  Same day, October 25th. Coats and accessories collected will be given to SERVE, a non-profit community organization that provides temporary emergency shelter for the homeless every night.  It is estimated that 60 homeless people are given s...

In Northern Virginia I have been doing many home inspections on foreclosures (and more recently short sales) for over a year.  Years ago, foreclosure meant "trashed," with people so mad they left the house taking all they could and damaging what they couldn't.  At the outset of the recent foreclosure wave the houses seemed to be in relatively good shape.  Pride in ownership was evident. Lately, however, things have changed.  What's left on the market unsold is often left with conditions that aren't good.  Here is some of what I'm seeing now: First and foremost, houses that have been altered.  In Northern Virginia we have a large illegal population.  They are leaving houses left and right.  And why not?  An easy, no-doc deal on a house, perhaps using someone else's social, and the house ...

The following is a summary of a police report of an attempted child abduction that took place in Braemar on October 7, 2008.  This could have happened anywhere.  Neighborhood awareness is the absolute best way to combat crime.  Know your neighbors and know what's going on in your neighborhood.  And report suspicious activity to the local police. ___________________ BRISTOW, VA:   Police say a mother in Prince William County got quite a scare on Tuesday (10/7/08) morning when she found a man in the back seat of her car with her 6-year-old daughter, and investigators are still trying to track him down.  According to investigators, the suspect entered the garage of a home on Kennoway Court in Bristow at about 6:45 a.m. Tuesday morning.  They say the 46-year-old woman who lives in the house...

I have blogged about Gray Kitty before.  He is the father of three kittens I scooped up off my porch almost one year ago.  I had been attempting to "tame" Gray Kitty with food, but he was not ready.  At the time, I couldn't get within five feet of him without him tearing off into the woods. Since adopting his offspring, I have captured this feral cat, had him neutered and given his shots.  He is negative for Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia. Over the last six months, Gray Kitty has become a real sweetheart.  He wants love constantly.  He'll plop right down on one of my feet to take a nap as he purrs and purrs.  Unfortunately, before I adopted his three offspring, I had two adult cats.  And Gray Kitty is rather territorial.  He's had his share of fights with other cats in the neighborhood...

The intersection of Tartan Hills Parkway/Rob Roy Way and Sudley Manor Drive has been a treacherous one from the beginnig of our community.  Wide, landscaped medians have made left hand turns across the divided, four lane road a guessing game. While this intersection had been a magnet for fender benders between cars, the catalyst for the new traffic light happened the summer of 2007.  A teenage boy, crossing the intersection on a bicycle, was struck by a car going a minimum of 45 mph (the legal speed limit on Sudley Manor Road).  Luckily, the young man made a full recovery, but driving by the scene of the accident just ten minutes after it had happened, I would never have believed he would recover. With the help of Braemar residents on my mailing list, we contacted our Prince William Cou...

Prince William County was drenched with the rains of Tropical Storm Hanna yesterday.  It was the gusting winds that really made an impact on my community of Braemar. Driving through after the storm passed, I was surprised to see my preferred route out of the neighborhood (Tartan Hills Parkway) was partially closed.  I made a quick detour, and upon reconnecting with Tartan Hills Parkway, I looked back and saw a large downed tree blocking the road. Downed hardwoods are nothing new to Braemar.  Stiff winds associated with frontal passages have often targeted our dying and brittle hardwoods.  Sadly, this tree was not in bad shape. One other thing caught my eye while driving through the neighborhood.  A shredded American flag. Evidently the winds were far more brutal than I had originally gi...

Two more months of resales in Braemar's townhouse inventory has given us the opportunity to examine average sales price for the months of July and August.  Townhouse sales in this Braemar Tonwhouse Report, as always, are divided into two categories:  No Garage and Garage.  Which category your townhouse falls into should be obvious. Townhouses without garages have lost less value over the past year (23%), and maintained a steady demand.  The additional square footage that can be used for living space has been much more popular than the need for a garage.  The average sale price this report is actually up!  It's $237,400, up from $224,633 in May and June.  Seller subsidy (closing assistance from seller to buyer) has gone up from $4,680 to $8,450.  But the great news is that the days it is...
