Flyers for the Ku Klux Klan were found throughout Gainesville and Bristow Sunday morning. The materials were thrown randomly from a vehicle into driveways tied to bags of birdseed to weigh them down, according to Prince William County police.

While police said the pamphlets didn’t contain any threats or target anyone specifically, state Del. Lee Carter (D-Manassas) condemned the message.

“It’s quite clear that when fascists and white supremacists organize, they’re doing it with an end goal in mind, and that goal is ethnic cleansing,” Carter said.

“The most important way to fight back is to get to know the people in your community, get organized and make it perfectly clear that those hateful ideologies will never be welcome here.”

Last Friday, a neo-Nazi group called Patriot Front put flyers on community bulletin boards and gas pumps throughout Manassas.

Police are investigating the incidents.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
