At this park & ride, buses and bikes get the spotlight
Renovations to Fairfax's Stringfellow Road Park and Ride just finished up, and they're largely focused on buses and bicycles. This means the park and ride will function more like a multi-modal transit center than just a place for commuters to leave their cars.
The park and ride is in Centreville, close to Fair Lakes and I-66. There is a special HOV-only exit that makes it popular with commuters who want to either join a slug line or catch the bus.
It will be easier to catch a bus
New buses will service the park and ride, while existing routes will run more often, seven days a week. At rush hour, buses will run between Stringfellow and the Vienna Metro every 10 minutes.
A Fairfax Connector store will have resources for riders, as well as a place to wait for the bus. Also, more bus service is likely to come in the future thanks to Transform 66. That project will build HOT lanes between Haymarket and Falls Church that will be used by a number of express buses, which may originate or stop at Stringfellow Road.
There's a great option for storing your bike
Bicycling also gets a big boost thanks to the arrival of the county's second secure bike room. This facility will be similar to the now-popular bike room at the Reston-Wiehle Metro station.
The bike room is a great option for cyclists: the fact that you need a membership pass makes it much less likely for your bike to be stolen, and the shelter keeps your bike out of the elements. Some parking is available for bike trailers or other over-sized bicycles as well.
Adam Lind, Fairfax County's bicycle program coordinator, said that Fairfax has plans to provide secure bike parking at any regular parking garage built or funded by the Fairfax County Department of Transportation. This includes garages built at future Silver Line Metro stations. He also said that members will be able to use any garage in the county's growing network.
Lind expects that biking to the Stringfellow Park and Ride will become even more popular since Transform 66 will many making bike and pedestrian options in surrounding neighborhoods better. One example: plans to extend the Custis Trail.
While the big transit news in Fairfax usually deals with Tyson's Corner and the Silver Line the new amenities at Stringfellow Road show that improvement is happening all over the our region's most populous jurisdiction.
Use this map to make Fairfax more bike-friendly
Little River Turnpike, a major road that runs across Fairfax, is difficult to bike along. The county is looking to change that, though, and a new interactive map lets you make suggestions for how it can.
Stretching from Fairfax City to Alexandria, Little River Turnpike has been a major road since the 1800s and its interchanges with both 495 and 395 mean the road sees a lot of traffic today.
Right now, there are no bike lanes on Little River Turnpike, and sidewalks are hit and miss. Fairfax wants to make it easy to bike between the many neighborhoods and businesses up and down the road.
While there is a master bike plan for Fairfax, some of its roads need a more detailed and focused approach. Little River Turnpike is one of them (the county has deemed it a "policy road"), so planners in Fairfax are conducting the Little River Turnpike Bicycle Study to determine the best way to improve bike riding options there. They're starting with the interactive map above.
One challenge for bike projects along the road is a narrow right of way, which means there isn't much space for bike lanes (and it'd be expensive for the county to buy the space). Also, there some places along the road do have ample space for a stretch, but then it ends abruptly.
The hope with the map is that planners will be able to identify quick fixes in some of the road's trouble spots. The entire study could lead to broader-sweeping changes, but those would be further down the line.
This isn't the only bicycle project coming to Annandale. A number of bike lanes will go in when Ravensworth Road, Guinea Road, John Marr Drive, and Heritage Drive get repaved this summer (all of these roads connect to or run near Little River Turnpike).
Fairfax did this last year as well, when it used an interactive map to crowdsource ideas for bike projects across the county.
This Annandale park is getting a new foot bridge, after all
In late March, a foot bridge in Annandale disappeared altogether because Fairfax County officials said they couldn't afford to fix or replace it. On Wednesday, however, the county said it will build a new one.
On March 23, the county removed the bridge, which crosses a tiny stream in Annandale's Broyhill Crest Park, after determining it was in danger of collapsing. At that time, Mason District Supervisor Penny Gross told residents that, according to the Fairfax County Park Authority, a replacement bridge would cost $80,000 and there was no money in the budget for a new one.
But in an April 20 email to the Broyhill Crest community, Gross said she and Frank Vajda, the Mason representative on the Park Authority Board, continued to work with Park Authority staff on finding a way to replace the bridge. "Leaving the community bereft of a pedestrian crossing for a long period of time was unacceptable," she said.
"I am happy to report that the Park Authority came through, funding has been identified, and the order for a new fiberglass bridge has been placed," she continued.
A prefabricated bridge should arrive in about four weeks, and the project should be finished in about six.

"In the meantime," Gross said, "Park Authority maintenance staff will be working at the site to stabilize the stream banks and prepare for installation of bridge foundations prior to the placement of the new bridge."
Gross estimated using park maintenance staff instead of contractors for some of the work will save about $20,000. She can't say what the final cost will be because "we don't know what problems they might run into." The county will still have to hire contractors to install the piers and do some of the stream restoration work, she said.
Local residents who had spoken up about the unsafe bridge for years and urged the county to fix it had been disappointed that the county would simply remove it without any plans for replacing it.

BRT on Route 7 is getting closer to actually happening
In the fall, there were two leading options for new transit along Route 7: bus rapid transit or light rail. The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) recently settled on plans to move forward with BRT.
Virginia's Route 7 is a major road in Virginia that connects a number of dense communities that already use a lot of transit. The road is also one of the region's oldest, with some sections dating back to colonial times. It runs through both Bailey's Crossroads and Seven Corners, some of the densest places in Northern Virginia that don't have direct access to a Metro station. Both also have a large number of low-income families, meaning much of the population is pretty dependent on transit.
Route 7 also connects a number of places that are becoming more urban, like Tyson's Corner and Falls Church, along with growing employment centers like Alexandria's Mark Center.
Right now, Route 7 is a fairly straight shot between Alexandria and Tysons. But heavy traffic slows down current transit options, and a connection via Metro isn't nearly as direct, which eliminates the time savings the train usually provides. Better transit for Route 7 would mean quicker journeys between these major and already dense destinations.
Here's the plan for Route 7 BRT
As part of its Envision Route 7 project, an effort to bring better transit to Route 7, the NVTC studied both light rail and simply expanding current bus service. Earlier this month, though, it picked a BRT system that would run from the Spring Hill Metro Station in Tyson's Corner to the Mark Center in Alexandria.
The BRT plan would include more frequent buses and dedicated bus-only lanes. Both would speed up bus trips for people who need or want to take public transportation along Route 7, with less waiting and less time sitting in traffic.
Bus lanes wouldn't be everywhere. In some places, like downtown Falls Church, the road is comparatively narrow and hemmed in by buildings, so new lanes wouldn't fit. But bus lanes will go in some of the places where congestion is usually the worst, like at the Seven Corners interchange.
Other ideas plan to improve the bus stations themselves by making them bigger and more comfortable for people waiting for the bus. This would also include changes that would make it easier to walk to a bus stop from a nearby neighborhood. Another proposal is making sure traffic lights can favor buses via signal priority, which would cut time spent waiting at red lights.
BRT won out for a few reasons, but the biggest was cost
BRT scored well on factors like how it would affect future zoning changes and overall trip times and speed, but the main reason NVTC went with BRT is because it's much cheaper to build than any rail option.
Planners think they can put BRT on Route 7 for between $220 and $270 million. None of that money has been committed yet, so leaders in Fairfax, Falls Church, and Alexandria will have to work together and with the state and federal government to come up with it.
The initial planning considered a few different route options that would require a system to veer off of Route 7 to make some connections easier. For example, a number of people surveyed pushed hard for a connection to the East Falls Church Metro Station, which is about a mile from the road. Another reason BRT won out was that it's easier to be flexible in planning its route.
Opponents often chip away at BRT projects
BRT does face challenges and pitfalls, and those haven't gone anywhere for this project. "BRT creep," for example, is when the product on the road don't exactly match the nice renderings of buses gliding along dedicated lanes because fears of vehicle congestion meant chipping away at project features. Other examples of BRT creep include shortening dedicated lanes or eliminating them altogether, or cutting the frequency with which buses run.
Route 7 near Seven Corners, with enough right of way to fit in some bus lanes. Image from Google Maps.
Another fear is that even when dedicated lanes go in, the desire to maintain a certain number of other travel lanes could mean a roadway that's impossibly wide to cross on foot. An example of that is in Rockville, where a desire to fit BRT lanes in with cars, parking, bike lanes, and wide sidewalks led to a road that is almost hilariously wide.
Is a Northern Virginia BRT network forthcoming?
The region's first BRT system, Metroway, is already running in Northern Virginia between Alexandria and Arlington. That route links growing communities in Potomac Yard and Crystal City to various Metro stations. Alexandria is also planning for BRT along Beauregard Street as well. Further down the line, Fairfax is thinking about transit solutions along Gallows Road between Merrifield and Tyson's Corner, and it may go with BRT.
BRT along Route 7 could link up with all of these services in a variety of ways. Here, the flexibility of buses could be a big help, as some routes may be able to use dedicated lanes or special stations even on different routes.
This is an opportunity where the region could turn the threat of BRT creep into a positive thing. Bus service already runs along Route 7 and there is even an express service. Frequencies on both could be increased (with the express getting all day service) and advertised to potential riders.
Meanwhile other features like bigger stations and dedicated lines could come along gradually. As Seven Corners adds more housing and a street grid, Fairfax could begin painting dedicated lanes and building nicer bus stations. This could also happen towards Alexandria and Tysons as sections of Route 7 come up for redesign.
We're still quite early in the planning stages. Right now, the governments involved need to think about if they're willing to fund the project. But if they can get it done, the project could be a big hit right out the gate since many communities along Route 7 already have what it takes to make up a great transit corridor. They just need the transit to prove it.
Annandale residents just wanted a pedestrian bridge fixed or replaced. Now it's gone.
Residents in Annandale's Broyhill Crest neighborhood have been complaining for years about a dilapidated pedestrian bridge over a small creek, urging Fairfax County officials to fix or replace it. As of March 23rd, the bridge is gone, but there's no money for a new one.
The bridge connects is in Broyhill Crest Park, a neglected bit of green space with a former ball field that Fairfax County no longer maintains. The bridge is used mostly by dog walkers and people using the nearby community garden plots, and provides a shortcut to children walking to Mason Crest Elementary School.
People attempting to cross the creek between Murray Lane and Lockwood Lane are now confronted with plywood boards and ropes blocking access to the creek, a sign stating "the damaged bridge has been removed for safety reasons," and an explanatory note from Mason District Supervisor Penny Gross.
Gross sent an email to residents March 25th saying that she and Frank Vajda, the Mason District representative on Fairfax's Park Authority Board, had asked the Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) to repair or replace the bridge and were told "the bridge could not meet today's standards and could not be repaired."
Replacement cost would be $80,000, she estimates. "No source of funding has yet been identified but we are continuing the search."
"While we had hoped that the old bridge could be shored up and used until replaced, the old bridge simply was unsafe, and collapsing, due to embankment erosion," the email from Gross continues. It was removed "in an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of Broyhill Crest [residents]."
Members of the Broyhill Crest Community Association (BCCA) met with Gross and Mark Plourde, FCPA Area 2 manager, in December 2015 to discuss the bridge. Their goal was to have it fixed, not torn down.
The BCCA members were told if the bridge had to be replaced there were two options. The bridge could be replaced with a similar structure that would be cheaper but more expensive in the long run, as it would be subject to the same erosion problems. The other option, preferred by the FCPA, would be a more expensive bridge with a longer span, which would be less costly to install as it wouldn't require as much work on the bank.
The BCCA has requested another meeting with Gross to discuss alternative funding solutions.
Broyhill Crest resident Rick Carlstrom has spoken to county officials several times about the bridge over the years. In 2005, county officials told him they agreed the bridge was in "bad shape" but said it would be at least five years before it could be replaced. He got the same answer from FCPA in 2014, and that time was told a replacement bridge would cost $20,000.
Last May, Carlstrom contacted Gross about the bridge and she came to take a look. At that time, she told Carlstrom in an email that "all of the 2012 parks bond money has been spent and we do not have the $40,000 needed to replace the bridge."
When he again complained to Gross and the FCPA in February 2016, he was told the schedule to replace he bridge had changed from at least five years to "a very long time" and that the cost was now $80,000 for a 40 x 6-foot fiberglass pedestrian bridge. (That estimate might include installation and work on the stream banks to stem erosion.)
Carlstrom then contacted a bridge company on his own, E.T. Techtonics, and received a written estimate of $24,800 for a 40 x 6-foot fiberglass pedestrian bridge, including delivery. These bridges come in pieces and can easily be assembled by two people, he says.
According to Carlstrom, the bridge was severely damaged when a tree-trimming crew hired by the county dropped a tree on it a year ago. He suggested the tree company's insurance policy could pay for the repairs.
"That is not a viable option in this case," because the felled tree didn't cause the problem, Plourde responded in an email to Carlstrom. Plourde conntinued by saying the bridge has been collapsing for years due to severe erosion of the stream banks, causing the concrete abutments to fail.
"I realize that this decision will have a negative impact on your community and I apologize for that, but the safety of park users must be our first priority," Plourde wrote to Carlstrom. "While I understand that schoolchildren use this bridge daily as a shortcut to and from Mason Crest Elementary, please recognize that cutting through a trail in the park is not considered an approved school walking route. Approved routes are public sidewalks and easements."
"I have lived in Broyhill Crest for over 20 years and have witnessed a shocking downward spiral in the maintenance of the parks in our older established neighborhoods," Carlstrom wrote in an email to Gross March 14th. He cited the neglect of a large field in Broyhill Crest Park that has become overgrown and unusable, as well as the poor state of the pedestrian bridge nearby.
"Fairfax spends 0.7 percent of its budget on parks, Carlstrom says. "The largest portion of that goes to golf courses and the installation of artificial turf fields. I find it extremely unfortunate that the county makes the installation of artificial turf fields, which cost millions, a higher priority than maintaining our existing park infrastructure."
A version of this post originally appeared on Annandale VA.
Here's where Reston and Tysons' CaBi stations will go
Capital Bikeshare is coming to Fairfax County this fall. Reston will get 132 at 15 stations, and Tysons will get 80 bikes at 14 stations.
The county's Board of Supervisors approved a $1.7 million plan to bring Capital Bikeshare to Fairfax late last year; the county bought bikes, docks, and related equipment after the deal was originally announced. Fairfax plans to have the stations installed and online later this fall.
In some Twitter Q&A earlier on Tuesday, the County noted that there are no current plans to expand the program to Vienna or Huntington "at this time."
Phase one of bringing Bikeshare to Reston is focused on the north side of the city since there's more of a mix of businesses, homes, and shopping areas above the toll road around Reston Town Center.
While shown as one on the above image, the Wiehle-Reston Metro station will have two Bikeshare stands. They'll be approximately a mile away from the next-nearest station, which is down Sunset Hills Road towards Reston Town Center.
Future expansion of the program within Reston will bring bikes to the south side of the Toll Road and "village centers," according to the County's Twitter.
The Bikeshare locations in Tysons will include a stand at all of the Silver Line stations, several at both halves of the Tysons malls, and a few other stations interspersed along other thoroughfares with new housing developments or business establishments. Five streets in Tysons received new bike lanes last year to help make biking in the area easier.
While Fairfax's new stations won't be densely packed in, they should make shorter trips through some areas easier, and likely more enjoyable than by car.

The Fiscal Cliff And The Alinsky President.
When one strictly adheres to the principles of Saul Alinsky, you don't negotiate, you intimidate. You don't take a stand, but make the other guy take a stand and then you demonize it. You create so much static with class warfare rhetoric that it drowns out reason and fact. A good case in point is the President's insistence that the wealthy do not pay their fair share. He has been saying this for so long, it is almost an accepted fact by some. The real truth is that the top one percent of wage earners have gone from paying 20% of the total tax burden in the 1980s to 40% today. The percentage of the total income they earn is around 25%. If one extrapolates out the tax burden to include the top 10% of wage earners, the total share of the tax burden paid by that group is 70%. Their total percentage of the income earned is around 38%. These facts come straight from current IRS data.

Forget those New Year sales. Here are the bargains to snap up NOW!
While almost every festive tradition I can think of - drinking, wrapping presents, peeling sprouts - persists, there is one that has, to all intents and purposes, bitten the dust: the January sales.
Even a few years ago, we had to wait until New Year's Day to snap up bargains. Now you can buy something current and lovely in the pre and post-Christmas sales that will see you through to spring at a knock-down price.
Christmas sales: Now you don't have to wait until the January sales to buy something current and lovely - and cheap
And don't dismiss top-end as being out of your budget, because, without wishing to state the obvious, sales are an amazing opportunity to buy something you love, but could never normally afford - and from a store or label you normally find prohibitively expensive.
So here is my guide to looking good on a (sort of) budget . . .
John Lewis
Best bargain: John Lewis's caramel coat in wool by Hobbs, reduced from £269 to £215
My High Street store of 2013 thanks to its new fashion range and its affordable Somerset by Alice Temperley collection - my best High Street/designer collaboration of the year.
It has some nice pieces already on sale: a mustard Hobbs jacket, £109 from £219 (it's double breasted - the shape next year), a chunky cream sweater by Jaeger, £125 from £225 (it's all about the sweater next spring) and a gold pencil skirt by Phase Eight, £49 from £79 (perfect for New Year's Eve, with a cashmere sweater).
My best bargain is this caramel coat in wool (pictured right) by Hobbs, £215 from £269: enviably plain, a good length so you won't freeze, and it will last years.
It is expensive but this is my all-time favourite store. On sale are Alaia ballet pumps, £420 from £605, and Lanvin trainers, £295 from £425 (next year is all about the flat).
There are so many dresses on sale - by Christopher Kane, Rodarte, McQueen - I don't know where to start, but perfect for New Year's Eve, and beyond, is a black asymmetric dress by Lanvin, in silk crepe, £675 from £1,345. Best bargain is a full-length black gown by Rick Owens, £255 from £365. It's flattering, and sleeveless, and timeless.
River Island
This gets my teenage fashion store of the year vote: it did all the trends really well, and was so much cheaper than Topshop, but there are items for grown-ups. Slip dresses will still look fresh next spring, and I like their black slip dress, £38, because unlike those at Zara it's not too short. In the sale is a faux shearling, faux leather biker, down to £41 from £75 - it's nice and soft.
My department store of the year: it has the best beauty hall, its very own Louis Vuitton boutique, the best shoe floor in the world and an unbeatable selection of fashion.
Colourful trousers that skim the ankle will be perfect for spring with flat brogues or loafers: I love the pink trousers by the Kooples, £93 from £155.
Sheer is never going away, and I like a black Karen Millen cardigan with sheer sleeves, £99 down to £75. Isabel Marant was the most desirable brand of 2013 - her flat knee boots for £299 down from over £500, and her gorgeous flat patent loafers, £149 down from £355.
Crowd-pleaser: J Crew's big, circular skirt in French Navy, down from £258 to £248
The destination store of 2013 for all the more quirky labels, such as Mary Katrantzou (a printed biker jacket - bikers will still be huge next year - is half price, at £877.50) and Haider Ackermann (lace will still be fashionable next year: his lace trim skirt is half price, at £780).
I love Helmut Lang print snake leggings, £392 from £785, or an Emma Cook print dress, £296 from £370.
Wildly jazzy print dresses will be everywhere come spring.
J Crew
Classy and classic, this store was my best launch of 2013.
This year, we have all been wearing the big, circular skirt. Crew has a circular skirt in French Navy (pictured above), that's a wearable midi length: £248 from £258, My best bargain, great for evening over a plain slip dress, or for spring for a wedding, is their print coat, £342 down from £485.
Slink Boutique
This is my best online launch for 2013, and my best new plus-size brand. A great edit of pieces from size 16 upwards. It is not cheap (dresses hover around £300), but who says bigger women only want stuff from Evans?
The fabric and fit are top notch. I like the party dresses by David Meister, a Mat asymmetrical tunic dress with a zig-zag print, and a Melissa Masse floral print in silk.

We compared the effect of a 10-week resistance training program on peak isometric torque, muscle hypertrophy, voluntary activation and electromyogram signal amplitude (EMG) of the knee extensors between young and elderly women. Nine young women (YW; range 20–30 years) and eight elderly women (EW; 64–78 years) performed three sets of ten repetitions at 75% 1 repetition maximum for the bilateral leg extension and bilateral leg curl 3 days per week for 10 weeks. Peak isometric torque, EMG and voluntary activation were assessed before, during, and after the training period, while knee extensor lean muscle cross-sectional area (LCSA) and lean muscle volume (LMV) were assessed before and after the training period only. Similar increases in peak isometric torque (16% and 18%), LCSA (13% and 12%), LMV (10% and 9%) and EMG (19% and 21%) were observed between YW and EW, respectively, at the completion of training (P<0·05), while the increase in voluntary activation in YW (1·9%) and EW (2·1%) was not significant (P>0·05). These findings provide evidence to indicate that participation in regular resistance exercise can have significant neuromuscular benefits in women independent of age. The lack of change in voluntary activation following resistance training in both age groups despite the increase in EMG may be related to differences between measurements in their ability to detect resistance training-induced changes in motor unit activity. However, it is possible that neural adaptation did not occur and that the increase in EMG was due to peripheral adaptations.

Historic Celebrations Highlight Hoops Saturday
1 of 2
The Lebanon Valley College basketball doubleheader on Saturday featured a pair of historic celebrations for both the men's and women's squads. The men celebrated the 30th Annual Hot Dog Frank Day, while the women retired the first jerseys in program history.
During halftime of the men's game, Joe Shemeta '52 and Anne Shemeta '51 were presented with the 2014 "Hot Dog" Frank Athletic Service Award. The Shemetas are long-time enthusiastic supporters of LVC athletics and the College as a whole. Part of a family with more than 35 graduates of LVC, they have been involved in virtually every aspect of campus life since the 1950s.
For many years, they ran the "Oldtimers" golf tournament to support LVC athletics, and were involved in the Alumni Council and scholarship committees. For decades, they have been dedicated fans of LVC student-athletes, musicians, and theatrical performers. Their dedication and loyalty to the LVC athletics family exemplify the ideals put forth by Hot Dog Frank.
The "Hot Dog" Frank award originated in 1985 to honor the late Frank Aftosmes (1902–1994) by the LVC administration for his many contributions to the Lebanon Valley athletic program. Aftosmes was an Annville businessman and devoted supporter of Lebanon Valley College athletics whose statue now stands in the College's Peace Garden.
The LVC Athletic Booster Awards Committee felt that others who exemplified Aftosmes' enthusiastic support for the athletic program deserved special recognition. Since its establishment in 1985, 26 individuals have been honored.
During halftime of the women's contest, Steph Tighe Sutton '03 and Andrea Hoover '11 were honored as the first women's basketball players to have their jerseys retired on the LVC Gymnasium wall. Each former student-athlete was presented with their framed jersey and had the honor of pulling the sheet to unveil each of their banners in the LVC rafters.
Watch highlights of the ceremony here
"I couldn't be more excited, not only to have my jersey hang in the rafters forever, but to share this honor with Andrea," Sutton said. "I was fortunate enough to coach her for two years and I couldn't be luckier to finally put women on the wall in LVC Gymnasium and to share it with the best athlete."
"It's really incredible," Hoover added. "I was very thankful to have Steph as a coach during my time at LVC and I'm really honored to be able to share this moment with her today."
Sutton and Hoover are the program's only two all-Americans and each earned MAC All-Century team honors a year ago. Their jerseys join the five men's basketball retired jerseys – Howie Landa '55, Don Johnson '73, Mike Rhoades '95, Andy Panko '99, and J.D. Byers '05 – already hanging in the rafters.
Sutton was the first Dutchman to be named an all-American when she did it as a senior in 2002–03. She is LVC's all-time leading scorer with 1,663 career points, and sank a record 597 field goals and 385 free throws in her career. She also owns the record for points in a game when she hit for 42 against Moravian in 2002.
A 2013 inductee to the LVC Athletic Hall of Fame, Sutton was a four-time all-Commonwealth Conference selection and spent two years as an assistant coach for the Dutchmen from 2006 to 2008, including a role in recruiting Hoover and the class that led LVC to its first CC title.
Hoover, currently an assistant coach with the team, earned WBCA/State Farm and d3hoops.com All-American honors as a senior in 2010–11 while being named the d3hoops.com Regional Player of the Year. The point guard led LVC to its first Commonwealth Conference title and an NCAA Elite Eight run in 2011, and was a three-time first-team all-CC selection.
Hoover remains LVC's all-time assists leader (586), was a two-time CC Player of the Year, and ended her career with 1,170 points.

Mom and Pop take advantage of the peace and quiet when and where they can
Best Viewed Large!
Yes, Papa's paper is in French: after all, these are Canadian bears! (Literally, as that's where I bought the great majority of those I own).
This is another in my series of "Life in the Burrow." The set up is real, not Photoshopped. Mom and Pop are 2 inches tall which will give you an idea of the scale. I made the majority of "stuff" they own, including the book, candies, ice-cream, pillows, quilt, painting on the wall, Mama's night-gown – even the Polka record-cover on the bottom right. The lamp, the wooden stool, the side-table and the old-time phonograph are from my miniature supplies.
Taken with my Canon Rebel XTi
(Edited in Photoshop for light, exposure, detailing here and there. Photographing miniatures has its own special challenges; every molecule of lint and dust you'd never see in real life, DOES show up in the photos! So does the slightest glitch – like a fallen apple on the floor, an upturned lamp or maybe cat hair (!) left inside the house by certain feline visitors who really, really like the little bears! Thank goodness for the patch tool. I used to take miniatures with film! And that's enough to send a person to the loony bin!)
For anyone who thought my recent sci-fi robots were my only crazy project — ?? Nope. I've been doing miniatures for years. Some are bears, some are "other."
lol! ~ Enjoy ~

The ten most important questions.
1. Why are we here, in this planet, in this universe?
Our atoms tell us that we are made of Host protonselectrons and Virus neutrinos (who have infected and taken control of our neutrons). Protonselectrons are good, neutrons/neutrinos are evil, so we are here for a war between Host versus Viruses.
2. What does the Host and the Virus stand for so I can decide who to follow?
The virus stands for sexual reproduction (pregnancies based on host versus virus interactions, eg egg versus sperm). It also stands for inequality, isolation, pedophilia, substance abuse, sexual organs and lust, all types of abuse, all types of diseases, ignorance at birth, aging and death (which is a viral replication cycle), the sex trade, etc. The host stands for asexual reproduction (cloning), eg all the cells of your body are clones of each other and identical twins are also clones of each other. It also stands for health, education, love, equality, networks, communication, cooperation, war, etc.
3. But what if I cannot make a decision since I like both of them in different ways. Nobody can deny that lust is fun.
The virus may offer you lust and sex, the riches of the fashion trade, the sex trade, the drugs trade or the junk food trade, but this is short term since they will always age and kill you once you have served their purpose and they have used you as a slave. Although it may not be possible to escape all virus offerings because host alternatives like human cloning and immortality may not have been perfected by science, bear in mind that the virus can easily make you a slave and control you completely if you are not careful, eg you can become a sex addict, a drug addict, a fashion addict, and so on. So the key is to outsmart the virus and make sure you control the situation, eg use condoms, feed babies with a bottle rather than the breast, and so on.
4. I find it difficult to believe that everything in this universe is made of hosts versus viruses.
It is due to religion which humanises everything. You have to get it into your head that the masters of this universe are extremely small organisms and we too are made of them, eg the human body is a network of host protonselectrons and virus neutrons/neutrinos, which in turn make our cells and our organs.
5. What will happen if the majority follow viruses?
Most of the money will go to give power to neutrinos and we will not be able to conquer human cloning, aging and death and life in outer space through science. If we cannot conquer these virus problems humans will become extinct and no one will ever know we existed. Why do you think there are no aliens? Because they have become extinct! They were not able to resist the virus offerings, gave in to temptation and were destroyed by the viruses they worshipped.
6. But does the Host offers fun?
The virus appears to offer a lot of fun, but is deadly fun that will lead to ignorance at birth, diseases, aging and death, abuse and so on. You have to understand that viruses infect the host to make copies of themselves, control the host and outnumber the host. Their number one virus weapon in this war is to erase the host memories and write virus memories, and that is why we are born ignorant. The host offers a different type of fun, that of exterminating the virus, winning a war, destroying the enemy. I cannot think of more fun than destroying a virus and seeing its head roll off. I cannot see more fun than a virus begging for mercy and getting none, and I cannot think of more fun than having clones to help you win a war. And more even, I cannot think of more fun than saying NO to virus offerings and seeing their laughter turn into disbelief. A host that can overcome temptation and say "No thank you, you can shove your rubbish up your ass," that's quite fun.
7. So how can we avoid human extinction?
Support scientific research to perfect human cloning and to conquer aging and death (with the enzyme telomerase opposed by apoptosis), which will give you life extensions every 30 years or so, and support research for life in outer space.
8. But since all stars eventually explode including our own sun, I will have to keep moving from one solar system to another to avoid being destroyed, is that fun?
Is war, and it can be fun if you have your clones with you and you can control viruses.
9. It seems to me that what you are proposing is very different to what I am used to.
A lot of my proposals are already in your life but you were not aware of them. Your own body is made of cloned cells and as you know identical twins are clones of each other. There is already constant war in your life, eg your immune system is always fighting viruses and diseases. The whole point is to survive and not let viruses exterminate us.
10. What happens if I still cannot make a decision because the virus offerings are too tempting for me and I am too addicted to them?
Well, there is always the possibility of ElectroConvulsive Therapy (ECT), also called ElectroShock Therapy. Certain famous people had such treatment to be able to focus and excel in their careers. Electroshock Therapy can erase virus memories temporarily in the brain so that you can break free from the hold viruses have on you and give you a fresh start. That is what viruses have done to all of us, erase the memories of our atoms so that we are born ignorant and they can easily write virus memories and easily control us. Electroshock Therapy is just one of many ways of outsmarting the virus and have the chance of temporarily getting rid of virus memories and addictions and start afresh. Many doctors recommend it and there are no long term health effects if it is done professionally. Think about it, our atoms are many billions years old and survived the explosion of a star, and yet we cannot remember because virus neutrinos erased our memories to control us and abuse us. It is only fair that we give viruses an eye for an eye by erasing virus memories and be able to write host memories instead. And so with host memories you will be able to value health, human cloning, immortality, life in outer space, and winning the war against viruses. What could be more fun than that?

Citilites at Schuster Performing Arts Center Ratings and Reviews

The convenience of using Citilites for dining before a Schuster Center arts performance is a great asset. Because we park early to attend dinner before a performance we avoid the "last minute" hassle of finding a parking place if we dine someplace else before a show.

We enjoyed our time at Citilites very much, and appreciated the beautiful view of Dayton's downtown architecture. The neighboring buildings are never very visible for very long as we drive through, and it was wonderful to be able to gaze upward at the details. The food was excellent.

Took 12 minutes after we were seated for our waiter to come. Very slow, seemed to not like job. Food was good but didn't feel like it worth what I normally get for the cost.

We ate at Citilites prior to a performance of the Lion King. While convenient, I food was very mediocre and fairly pricey. I had gone online to check out the menu before reserving a table and was presented the lunch menu. The dinner menu, which is only served before evening performances, was either not online or not extremely visible because I missed it. The food is rather pricey ($24 barbecue chicken) and was served lukewarm. I expected $9 sandwiches and got $24-35 entrees, which would have been ok had the food been better.

Citilites is mainly for the convenience of eating before a show at the Schuster. This is our second time eating there before a show, but the food hasn't been all that great. We will be eating somewhere else beforehand.

The lunch menu was full of light and perfect meal choices. The prices were slightly less than I anticipated, so that was a pleasant surprise. Service was great. The food was not spectacular, but good. We had an apple dumpling for dessert which had obviously been microwaved to re-heat. It was nuked about two minutes too long. It came out too hot to eat, then became chewy. Other than that, the meal was good and I would go back anytime.

When I saw the menu online I was really excited to go here. So many of the dishes sounded amazing! If only the food lived up to the descriptions. We started with the charcuterie plate. Nothing bad, but nothing wowed us. The prosciutto was cut too thick so it was a little chewy, the sausages were a bit overcooked, and two of the three cheeses weren't anything I couldn't buy at Kroger in the standard cheese section, but nothing was terrible. My kale Caesar salad ($2 upcharge from the house salad that comes with my meal) was actually pretty good. The kale wasn't cut down so I had a hard time eating elegantly (the stems kept stabbing my face), and it was a little heavily dressed, but the croutons were really flavorful and crispy. Then came the mains. My wife had the salmon sandwich and the few bites I had actually weren't too bad (and it was reasonably priced considering the giant piece of fish that came with it). The "heirloom tomatoes" were just standard beefsteak, and the salmon was way overcooked for my liking (my wife didn't mind), but overall not bad. My lobster risotto was downright terrible. The lobster was flavorless and chewy (and half of it looked pre-chewed), and the broccoli rabe was completely devoid of salt. The risotto itself was my favorite part, but I was promised truffle in the menu description and it tasted of nothing but rice. We did not try the desserts because nothing sounded good, and based on the meal we had had so far, I bet they were all store bought with Hershey's syrup slathered over the top. In terms of ambience, the place was pretty meh, but that's not entirely their fault. The outside portion (in the lobby) was quieter, but had a lot of echos. It reminded me of eating in an airport cafe. Our table was also almost too small for two people. Inside was a lot nicer, but very loud. Our waitress was nice and attentive, but kept apologizing for the food being late, even though it wasn't. It was really kind of awkward.

We enjoyed our dinner at Citilites, as we did the previous time. We requested to sit in the bar area, because we like the lower ceiling and a more intimate atmosphere than out in the open area. Both times we were impressed with the staff, their efficiency, friendliness, and knowledge of the menu. We tried the chardonnay which was featured, and found it smooth and enjoyable. I ordered the crab cakes, which I had done before, and this time they were too spicy for my taste. Other than that, I have no criticisms of our food, and we look forward to going to Citilites again.

Have been to Citilites several times prior to the theatre. It's a great location for those occasions and comes with an interesting and pleasant ambience. It is quiet for being mostly open and seating is comfortable. The menu is somewhat limited and they try to be responsive to the people there for the shows. My particular dinner was not very good and the one they brought to replace it wasn't either. It appears to have been cooked much earlier and it dried out. Bringing out a sauce to cover the dry meat was no help. My wife's dish was excellent as was the salads. Service was excellent and management intervened with options that were satisfactory and fair. Drinks were adequate and fairly priced. Passed on the desert.

The menu actually read better than the food. It was presented beautifully! The biggest issue I found was the lack of seasoning. Food would have benefitted from salt and pepper; was bland. The risotto had no flavor at all! Butter - poached Lobster was tough and chewy. Sorry I couldn't give a better review.

Small meal not really worth the expense. We were their merely for the convenience of eating in the schuster center to attend a performance . Handicapped people need more time and cannot walk in with the usual crowd. Service was excellent!!!!! Bigger meals of the same quality would be great.

Patrons go to Citilites for a meal prior to performances at the Schuster Center and, consequently, are always anxious to get their food and drinks in a timely manner. While our food and drinks did arrive in time to be finished before the show, the wait staff did not acknowledge the deadline nor did they appear to recognize the anxiety that customers at several tables seemed to be consumed with. The meal was good but not great especially where value versus price is concerned. No drink order was taken for almost 10 minutes and it was nearly another 10 minutes before they arrived. No bread appeared at the table until after the main course arrived. The lettuce on our dinner salads was limp but the house dressing was very good. The shrimp on the appetizer were small and overcooked and without much flavor. The Barbecue Chicken was a bit dry. Overall, while I consider the food quality and service to be average at best and the prices too high, I would only go back for the convenience of eating at the venue itself.

We actually eat here every time we go to a performance at the Schuster Center and have always enjoyed it. Although the menu is not extensive I think that the variety is enough that anyone could find something to enjoy. Even though we usually go only for performances, I would say it is a good choice for any occasion.

What a disappointment. My husband's lamb dinner was a very small end-rack that consisted of mostly bone and a small mouthful of meat. We found the entire menu to be described with fancy words and very little substance. Even the desert was over-cooked and dried out. Never again!

Wonderful seating in the Winter Garden. Food is interesting, some combinations work better than others or depends on your taste, but overall quite good. Nice presentation. Only open for dinner when an event is presented in the theatre. They are also open for lunch every week day. Nice place for an upscale lunch or to take a friend to celebrate a birthday.

The food was absolutely delicious! It was definitely a lot more expensive than I was hoping to spend, but it did taste wonderful. Our service could have been a lot better. Our server had a bad habit of ignoring my daughter. My daughter didn't get her drink until after our main course was delivered to our table, even though we asked multiple times! We finally asked another server and had the drink in minutes. We also ordered desserts and again our server ignored my daughter's order! My daughter is 12 and has been ordering for herself for years with no problems like this before!

We like to eat here when going to something at the Schuster because it's so very convenient. Service tonight was very good, but it has sometimes been spotty. My eggplant dish was a little disappointing, although the sauce was delicious. Noise level fine. Food is usually reasonably good, not usually outstanding,

Had a very good dinner prior to the Lion King at the Schuster. Our table was in the atrium and was quite nice. The menu selection was good. I had the lobster risotto. Although the rice wasn't quite like a true soupy/creamy risotto, it was very good. I was surprised that there was a decent amount of lobster and it was properly cooked. Very good.The accompanying house salad with the house dressing was delicious. My mother ordered the salmon sandwich. The salmon portion was generous. It was served on two very, very thick sliced of bread (like Texas toast) which was overwhelming. So my mother didn't eat the bread. There was plenty of salmon and the sweet potato chips were delicious and plentiful. I would suggest they serve the salmon over rice or with potatoes and skip the bread. Service was excellent. We were not rushed and had plenty of time to get to our seats for the play. Overall, we were very pleased.

One of the few places to eat if you are attending a show at the Schuster. Be sure to reserve a week early.
We ordered the lobster and truffle risotto, the lobster was cold. The waitress took it back to have our order remade. It was no better the second time plus the risotto was gummy. They gave us free desserts to compensate. My friend had the apple dumpling which she said was very good. I had the bread pudding which was not pudding at all. More like baked bread, very dry and tasteless. I would have to eat there again to see if another entree was better prepared before recommending this restaurant. 😝 The food was always very good with the previous chef.
Great pre-theater dinning experience
Great pre-theater dinning experience
theater dinner
As this restaurant is on the first floor of the theater building we find that it is a great place for dinner before attending a theater presentation. Food and service are always great. Once finished with your meal or drinks it is convenient not having to leave the building .
Evening with my granddaughter.
It was not my first time eating at Citilites, the food was great, but this time I was a little disappointed with the servicer. But over all it was a great evening. I will re-turn.
Exceptional cuisine, convenient for theater goers
Located in the Schuster Center for the Performing Arts, downtown Dayton, Ohio. Citilites offers a short, yet excellent menu, capable wine list and a wait staff dedicated to enhancing our dining experience. Whenever we are attending a performance at Dayton's Schuster Center, we always look to Citilites to add a nice dining experience to our enjoyment of the show.
If you have tickets for The Shuster, it is OK.
But not more. 3 of us had the lamb, all well done. Nobody asked for the desired doneness. A few misfires for service.
Always excellent

The food was good overall. The salads and the soup were great. The waitress was awkward, overly invested in whether we followed her advice, hovering in a way/checking a bit too often, pushing dessert/coffee. She was nice, but the interaction was awkward. The atmosphere is fantastic, although the tables out in the atrium are far more pleasant than those by the bar.
Premiere performance
From the moment we were seated, we were well cared for by a very attentive waitress who was knowledgeable about the menu offerings and wine list. Our meals were delicious, the duck practically melted in my mouth with flavor. Many thanks for a great beginning to a musical extravaganza of Sung and Orff.

We were there for concerts on May 13th and 20th and decided to eat at Citilites. We loved it, the food was great and the portions were perfect for going to a concert after dinner. Our servers both times were right on point. Taylor was our server on the 20th and was new and did a great job. Citilites will be our go to place for dinner before a concert.
Mother's Day treat
This was first-time visit. Service was prompt and continuous. Duck was excellent, and Filet Mignon was excellent as well and cooked exactly as ordered. Sides were very good, and chocolate cheesecake was extremely good! Will definitely return.
Needs polish
Waited 15min+ for recognition by server. Menu on web site was not offered. Lamb overcooked.
