Salon HEBERTO Celebrates First Birthday

Recently I was invited to help celebrate the First Anniversary of Salon Heberto on S. Commerce St in Centreville. Heberto has been a stylist in Centreville for ages, and has a loyal following, so it was natural for him to open his own salon. 

He and his team have created a beautiful and serene environment, perfect for a day of pampering.

Over the past year, he has added stylists and other professionals and really transformed the building he's in.  Although my haircut is more suited to a barber, my wife and kids won't go anywhere else.

Presenting a Congratulatory Certificate to Heberto

Congratulations Heberto!

Rt. 213 is now 25 MPH from "Bridge to Bridge" in Centreville!

Speeding traffic has long been an issue on Rt. 213 in Centreville.  Over the past 1.5 years, the Town Council has worked with SHA representatives to reduce the speed limits on Rt. 213 in Centreville.  We worked with SHA to implement traffic calming measures and as a result of those, the 85th percentile speeds along North & South Commerce, and North and South Liberty Streets have come down enough to facilitate the updated speed limits.

SHA has also proposed additional traffic calming measures, involving line striping and streetscaping to further reduce speeds.  They are not well funded, so they will begin with the line striping in the next few weeks.  The streetscaping will be done as funds are available.

Our police officers have already begun the public awareness campaign to alert drivers to the new speed limit

While speeding will continue to be an issue, we are hopeful that continued enforcement, along with traffic calming measures will help to keep speeds along Rt. 213 at safe levels.

In the next few weeks, updated lane-striping will be painted which will further call attention to the efforts to keep speeds low in this residential and business area.

REMEMBER: Slow Down, Drive Safe!

Annual Centreville Memorial Day Parade is ON!

Saturday, May 28, 2011

Everyone Loves a Parade!  

The annual Centreville Memorial Day Parade WILL be held this year.

Due to the retirement of the gentleman that has been managing the parade for the past several years, there was some question as to whether the annual parade would be held.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the Jeff Davis Post #18 of the American Legion, Centreville Alive!, Council Member Smokey Sigler and Town Staff, we were able to gauge enough interest to confirm the parade.

Since confirming the parade, we have had several additional groups that have expressed interest, and it's looking like it will be a great time!


As usual, the lineup will start at 11:00am at the QAC High School, and the parade will begin at noon.

This year, there will be several events after the parade, in an effort to keep people in the downtown area.  Lawyer's Row will be closed to traffic and there will be music, a cornhole tournament and other family activities.

There will also be an exciting Civil War Re-enactment at the Court House Square.

This should be a great time for all!

Please join me in attending the parade and remembering and honoring those who have served our Country.

To enter your group in the parade, please call Town Hall at: 410-758-1180.

There will be Tractors...

There will be classic cars....

There will be civic groups....

Shriners!  Everyone loves the Shriners....

And of course, bands.  We have several bands signed up!
