Start your Monday with some genuine good news! Falls Church High girls' cross country just won their first-ever district title (some running through injuries!), Reston got a new food hall where you can sample five different menus under one roof, Latin American empanadas are coming to North Point Village Center, and Centreville football delivered a last-second touchdown to win their district showdown. That's the Fairfax County energy we love.
