Two Barbershop Concerts Set For 11/7/2009 at Covenant Presbyterian

Bull Run Troubadours

 

This premier chorus and barbershop group has been serving Prince William County for more than 30 years.  Their appearance at Covenant Presbyterian Church on Hoadly Road is in support of the church's need to equip a kitchen that will enhance the church's ability to serve the needs of a young and growing congregation.

We welcome the opportunity to write a blog to promote your non-profit organization's upcoming event.  Our only requirement is that it not be political or discriminatory in nature.

COMMUTING

  • Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge and at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
  • Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see Omnimatch for more specific details
  • Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop in Lake Ridge - the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It's free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 - win win!!
  • Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Station with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from Lake Ridge in the morning rush hour. At Springfield you can switch to Metrorail that gives you access to the entire National Capital Area subway system.

  • Library next to the homes
  • Bus service to the Huntington Metro operates through the community
