You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

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!!

In 1820 it only took 50 acres to establish Brentsville and make it the county seat of Prince William County. As residents moved farther west to work new farmland the existing county seat at Dumfries was too far east to serve them easily. Brentsville was a logical choice since it was centrally located along the major east/west road that went as far as the Shenandoah Valley. When the county seat moved to Manassas in 1893 Brentsville was able to maintain its' 19th century rural trappings.
In 18th and early 19th century rural Virginia the courthouse was the dominant power in county government. Today, the Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre covers 28 acres along Bristow Road and includes five buildings and numerous archaeological sites. A visit to the beautifully maintained site will provide both an educational and relaxing way to spend a day learning about the early history of Prince William County.
