Column - The immortal Marilyn
If any movie star has a good grip on immortality, it's got to be Marilyn Monroe. Instead of moldering into oblivion as most "stars" eventually do, Monroe is more popular than ever these days. Last year, an entertaining movie, My Week with Marilyn, was released with a knock-out performance by Michelle Williams. This week a book with some never-before-seen photos has been released by the great Monroe photographer, Lawrence Schiller. Monroe-mania is perennial, neverending.

COUNCIL UPDATE: Big plans for The Wharf, housing near new school
Two big developments are seeking a little tax help from the city of Alexandria. One would renovate the former bar-restaurant, The Wharf, into Zorbaz on the Lake – a $1.7 million project. The other one calls to build two, three-story 63-unit apartment complexes on the east side of Knute Nelson’s Grand Arbor development along Pioneer Road in south Alexandria – a project that would add about $8 million worth of property value.

Editorial - Welcome, summer visitors! We're glad you're here
