Commuters along Rt. 7 wondering about the triangle-shaped tower emerging behind the treeline had their questions answered Thursday afternoon when Pinstack celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting.

The building hosts over a dozen bowling alleys, 150 video games, a high ropes course, laser tag, rock climbing wall, bumper cars, bar, patio and an open-air balcony.

CEO and founder Mark Moore said the new center and his seven other locations across the country are “experiential entertainment destinations.”

The goal is to create a customer-focused place where families, companies or friends can gather to create experiences, which Moore said, is even more important in today’s digital world.

The Loudoun County School Board on Tuesday held its first discussion about its fiscal year 2028 capital budget, which funds construction projects and other major infrastructure programs.

Division Chief Operations Officer Kevin Lewis said this is the earliest his department has ever briefed the board on the capital budget, which is approved each December and covers five-year periods.

Joseph Pascarelli, director of Construction Services, said School Board members had submitted priorities to his office. Those priorities included the recovery school, school modernization, playground replacements, changes to school restrooms, expanding specialized programs and academies, and others. The proposed capital budget is based on those priorities as well as staff priorities from the support services department.

While stadiums across the country are preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted on U.S. soil for the first time since 1994, the excitement isn’t just contained to the 16 cities hosting games across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Soccer is one of the biggest youth sports in Loudoun County, including programs offered by Loudoun Soccer and Virginia Revolution.

With over 16,000 annual registrations, Loudoun Soccer is the county’s biggest youth program.

“We’re the biggest youth sports club in Northern Virginia … and I think we’re kind of a real staple of the community and of Loudoun County,” CEO Mark Ryan said.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee of Education and Workforce on Wednesday questioned Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Aaron Spence and other witnesses about policies within the school division.

The hearing, entitled "Breaking Trust: Attacks on Parental Rights, Inappropriate Content, and Legal Abuses in America's Schools,” included testimony from Spence, the superintendents of schools in Chicago and San Francisco, and a Democratic expert witness. Republicans on the committee questioned the superintendents on policies and practices in their divisions relating to transgender students and parental involvement in students’ education.

In his opening statement, Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) called LCPS’ Policy 8040, which allows students to use bathrooms, locker rooms, names, and pronouns that align with their self-selected gender identity and requires employees to adhere to those identities, “child abuse and neglect.” He highlighted the case of Tanner Cross, a former LCPS teacher who was fired for refusing to adhere to 8040. Walberg called his termination, which Cross argued violated his right to religious beliefs and expression, “immoral and dumb.”

Construction of a new concourse at Dulles International Airport, expected to serve as a hub for United Airlines, continues to move forward on schedule with a completion target of this fall, according to Airport Manager Richard Golinowski.

At 435,000 square feet, Concourse E will add 14 gates to the airport, increasing the capacity for both domestic and international flights. Amenities in the new building include 46,000 square feet of concessions space, seating, and a 40,000-square-foot UnitedClub.

In 2025, 29 million passengers traveled through Dulles and that number is expected to reach 30 million this year.
