Recent inspection reports from local restaurants and food vendors.

You may want to know how area restaurants performed in their last Virginia Department of Health inspection.  Restaurants in the Commonwealth are inspected between one and four times a year. There are two types of violations: Critical and non-critical. What's the difference? Critical violations, unless corrected, can contribute to "food contamination, illness or environmental degradation," according to the state health department.  "In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to Virginia Department of Health's website. The site continues: "Keep in mind that any inspection report is a 'snapshot' of the day and time of the inspection. On any given …

Manassas Comcast Center to Slash Jobs This Year

The company said it will work to place the laid-off employees in positions elsewhere in the company.

Telecommunications giant Comcast is set to cut 80 jobs later this year from its Manassas facility off University Boulevard, InsideNova reports. Also reported last week in the Washington Business Journal, the company also plans to move 78 Manassas sales jobs to its offices in White Marsh, MD. Comcast spokeswoman Aimee Metrick said the changes are part of the company's efforts to make it easier for its customers to do business. About 110 jobs will remain in Manassas, company officials said. Meanwhile laid off employees can apply for the 400 jobs Comcast has available in the Washington DC metro. Read more of the reports from InsideNova and the Washington Business Journal.

Best-Paying Summer Jobs

A list of eight best-paying summer jobs. Provided by Jobs at AOL.

The following story was provided by AOLJobs.com  By David Schepp Getting a summer job is a rite of passage for many young people. In addition to earning wages to help pay for tuition or make car payments, it's where many first-time employees learn the fundamentals of work -- showing up on time, teamwork, communicating effectively, managing workloads and more. But summer jobs can also be fun, giving teenagers an opportunity to bond and hang out with a group of people beyond their schools and neighborhoods. In recent years, because of the recession and subsequent slow recovery in the labor market, summer jobs have been hard to come by for many teenagers. This year, many economic indicators point to an improved job market, suggesting that …

New Manassas Brewery Aims to Open, Despite Being Scammed by Con Artist

BadWolf Brewery had a bad experience with a con man, but still plans to open this summer on Center Street in Manassas.

Jeremy Meyers keeps fondly glancing over at the large piece of stainless steel suspended from the ceiling behind the custom bar inside his business, BadWolf Brewery in Manassas. Giving it a quick pat, he tells his wife, Sarah, and an employee that he feels the installation of the ventilation system is a major step toward the slated mid-June opening of Bad Wolf, which he co-founded with Sarah. The young couple was running full speed toward the opening of what will be the city's first nano-brewery when they were tripped up by a scam artist. The couple and Manassas Police say Jeff Robinson posed as a contractor and took them for $3,200 after saying he would order and install the BadWolf ventilation system. Instead he skipped town leaving the …
