Chamber Founds a Group for Young Professionals
Manassas, VA—Uno’s Chicago Grill in Gainesville was the venue for the first mixer held by the Young Professionals of Northern Virginia last Thursday evening. Young Professionals of Northern Virginia (YPNOVA) is a new group recently organized by the Prince William County–Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce in order to attract and retain future leadership–those who are currently under the age of forty-one.
The group was organized to help young business people create relationships that foster personal development and a personal commitment to the community. Research shows that when young professionals feel themselves to be a part a community with the power and opportunity to impact it, they are twice as likely to remain in that position. In fact, three out of four young professionals under the age of 28 place more importance on the quality of their community than the availability of jobs.

Daily Grind at Heritage Hunt Village Plaza
BristowEnews.com met with Kevin Schlagel owner of the “Daily Grind,” which is a coffee house and café located at Heritage Hunt Village Plaza, a new shopping and office center located across from the Heritage Hunt retirement community. The Daily Grind has been open since August of 2006 but has not received the projected traffic volume even with the newly opened Heathcote Boulevard in August of 2007. The Heathcote Boulevard opening connects Route 29 to Haymarket via Catharpin Road and avoids crossing the railroad tracks that run thru Gainesville has brought some increased traffic but now the volume is flat for many business owners.

Adding DVD and VCR players, gaming consoles, satellite receivers, and digital recorders to home entertainment centers add even more to the electric load.
