FREDERICKSBURG -- Reclaim Video offers an experience that promises to take its customers back to the past -- for free.
Last May, the neighborhood movie rental store opened its doors. One of the last of its kind, the video store’s walls are covered with VHS tapes, Laserdisc movies, and other popular formats from that past.
It’s like walking back in time to the 1980s. Reclaim is a living museum -- a way of preserving the past, employee Lauren Brumfield says.

WOODBRIDGE -- A $36 million renovation of Northern Virginia Community College's Woodbridge campus is expected to start in fall 2020. The Seefeldt Building will be updated to include centralized student services, new classroom spaces, and updated infrastructure.
The renovation, which will take approximately 18-24 months, will provide badly-needed updates and changes to the nearly 50-year-old building.
The Seefeldt Building is the campus' main instructional and administrative building, and the majority of classrooms are located there. With it being out of commission, space is going to be a bit tight.
