Barbara Watkins' passion is antiques. Never did she imagine she'd contribute to a major motion picture.
An ordinary Saturday working at the Fredericksburg Antique Mall became a day Barbara Watkins and Charlene Trueman will never forget. "We were very busy and weren’t paying much attention to these two men until they began piling vast amounts of antiques up on the counter," Watkins said. "We were running out of room on the counter and we were thinking -- what in the world is going on? This isn’t our usual, typical customer!" Watkins (Barbara Watkins Antiques) and Trueman (Charlene Trueman Antiques) each have a space in the Fredericksburg Antique Mall.

They aren't selling the sticker but rather the service, which provides two years of monitoring for just $20, Bob Fabian said. If another driver takes note of something, they enter the code on the website and leave a note, which is then sent via email to the parent of the child with that code. "It's the community being an extension of the parents…
The most recent restaurants inspections in the Fredericksburg area.
Rappahannock Area Health District (RAHD) officials recently inspected food preparation and storage in Fredericksburg. Full reports can be accessed on the health department's website. A "critical violation" is one that "poses a direct or immediate threat to the safety of the food being served." "In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to Virginia Department of Health's website. The site continues: "Keep in mind that any inspection report is a 'snapshot' of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a restaurant could have fewer or more violations than noted in the report. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be …
