We are so saddened about this outcome.
After more than 60 years of serving our community, Fort Hunt Preschool will be closing at the end of the 2025-2026 school year. 

Despite exploring many options to secure a stable and affordable location, we were unable to find a sustainable path forward. Our landlord ultimately did not approve our lease proposal, even with a significantly increased offer. 

We are deeply grateful to the generations of families, students, and staff who have made Fort Hunt Preschool so special. Thank you for being a part of our community.

Finally got a chance to check out Chinquapin playground's current status. Much better fencing to block only the broken fence rather than the entire playground. Many thanks to @sarahbagley.bsky.social for following up!

This sign gets me every time I use this bathroom. The old school clip art that is very pixelated and stretched (see round hook above for what a circle should be), the all caps, the lack of a period, and then 3 exclamation points! Also, this bathroom has an auto flush. It is delayed, but it does it.

Another one bites the dust.....
Firehook Bakery 
It's the end of an era...
It is the end of an exciting chapter in Firehook's history. Firehook will be permanently closing all three of its retail bakeries on December 24, 2024. As a result of the store closings, as of Dec 24h we will no longer be selling the specialty items offered at the bakeries on-line, but will continue to sell our full range of Mediterranean Baked Crackers. Of course it is a bittersweet announcement. While we will miss being a purveyor of delectable artisan breads and pastries, the decision was made so that we can support the rapid growth and expansion of our national Firehook Cracker business. We have been honored to serve you for the past three decades and are grateful for your years of patronage and support! Wishing you all our very best and the happiest holiday season!
Your Firehook Team

I don't have a picture of one I've recently eaten, so this sign from one of our favorite places will do. Maple creemees are basically maple soft serve, but better. Ideally sprinkled on top with maple dust (maple sugar powder). When we visit Vermont, we get them at least every other day.
