Erick Blackwelder weighs in on the state of real estate.
You may have a harder time than you'd think finding a home in Woodbridge, real estate blogger Erick Blackwelder writes in his latest blog post for Patch. "The long recession that lasted from 2006 to 2012 lulled a lot of folks into the reality that we had more houses for sale than buyers to buy them," Blackwelder writes. "That changed in early 2013. We don't have enough homes to meet demand. Bidding wars are common." To read more, and to find out how much your house would sell for, read Blackwelder's full post. Want to blog on Patch?

When dealing with an infected tooth, is extraction or a root canal the way to go? Lake Ridge dentist Gary Leff weighs in. "Unlike an extraction, root canal therapy saves your natural tooth," Leff writes.

They have sold their restaurant business to David and Sarah DeVight, who some of you in Occoquan may know. I had the pleasure this past weekend of attending a food-tasting preview at the Secret Garden Cafe. The food was unequivocally excellent and reasonably priced. David and Sarah have put together a menu that is not available elsewhere in Occoquan, combining some old favorites with Asian fusion selections. Additionally, they are renovating both the …
