May has arrived and with it, nicer weather for people to out and about in.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and Falls Church florists are ready for the rush of people shopping for their number one lady.

Forbes: Falls Church Wealthier Than Fairfax County

The median income of City of Falls Church residents puts the city above Fairfax County in the list of the 10 wealthiest areas in the United States.

With a median household income of more than $117,000, the City of Falls Church is one of the wealthiest municipalities in the United States, according to a new report from Forbes. That places Falls Church second on its list of the 10 richest cities or counties in the United States—above surrounding Fairfax County, which places fourth.

Falls Church Restaurant Inspections

Critical Violations at Two Falls Church Restaurants

Three local restaurants were inspected recently—here are the restaurant health inspection reports provided by the Virginia Department of Health.

In Virginia, restaurant inspection reports are not quite as simple as getting a letter grade or an easy-to-see number rating to post in the front window. With that said, we all want to know how our favorite restaurants stack up on cleanliness and sanitation. A "critical violation" is one that "poses a direct or immediate threat to the safety of the food being served." Non-critical violations are generally related to cleaning or maintenance. "Ideally, an operation would have no critical violations, or none which are not corrected immediately and not repeated. In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to the Virginia Department of Health's website…
