5 Things for July 26: Caribbean Cuisine, DC United Stadium and FBI HQ Update

Local happenings you should know about on July 26.

Friday has finally made an appearance, and I'm sure you're as grateful to see it as I am. In NoVa, however, the local happenings keep rolling. Sleep in late on Saturday, but in the meantime, here's some information and events going on today.

  • When you do decide to roll out of bed on Saturday, stop by Nalls Produce and join in on their paradise-filled festivities. Indulge in some delicious Caribbean cuisine while you're at it.
  • Retail secrets for artists. Learn techniques on how to display, show and sell your artwork to visitors in your studio at Lorton’s Workhouse Arts Center event in the McGuire Woods Gallery, W-16. The talk will be led by Mark Wilson, a Small Business Development Center retail and restaurant consultant. 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Workhouse Arts Center is located off of I-95 on Route 123, at the corner of Ox and Lorton roads.
  • Mongolian Mare. A statue of Sgt. Reckless will be dedicated at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Va., at 1 p.m. Sgt. Reckless was recognized as a national hero in 1954 for her service in the Korean War and went on to be awarded two Purple Hearts. She was a Mongolian mare that earned the rank of staff sergeant for transporting ammunition in battle, carrying wounded soldiers to safety and shielding them (injuries and all) from enemy fire.
  • Score! Major League Soccer team D.C. United is queued up to get a shiny new $500 million stadium at Buzzard Point in Southwest, close to Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals baseball team. Do you think the proposed location at Half and Second streets just south of Potomac Avenue is where D.C. United should call home? Would you miss seeing them at RFK Stadium?
