where in Strasburg do I get a VA state safety inspection for my car?

answer: nowhere. There aren't any places in Strasburg where you can get a VA state safety inspection for your car. (a valet service that takes your car to Front Royal for a fee to get your car a state safety inspection doesn't count.) 

this can be quite a problem for those who live alone. 

Strasburg is a town that's known for antique vendors. Strasburg is what it sells--an antique.

Strasburg residents: The closest VA state safety inspection that I could find is Anchor Automotive in neighboring Middletown (tiny when compared to Strasburg). On their website https://anchorautomotivellc.com/ Anchor claims "no wait" VA state safety inspections. I found this to be the case.

It's better than nothing. But then, what do you expect from a town that's known for being an antique?

a day late and a dollar short

• are the town council's deliberations connected with providing water service to Oranda--whose residents don't want it?

• why hasn't the town council looked into remedying the extremely high e coli levels recorded in the river on June 23 2022?

FSSP NF Shenandoah River E. coli levels on Wednesday June 22 versus Thursday Jun 23 - FOSR - FOSR

If you live, work or visit Strasburg, then you should find these photos extremely disturbing. The E. coli level on Thursday 06.23.2022, 816.4 MPN CFUs per 100 mL at the NF Shenandoah River @ Strasburg Park Public Boat Landing, is more than 16 TIMES the previous day's reading (50.4). It's 3.5 TIMES the pre-October 2019 Virginia water quality standard for primary recreational use (235). 

• why does the town "have the highest drought triggers in the valley"? to harass its residents?
• why, if the town has plenty of water, as the town claims, is the town studying secondary water sources? to pull the wool over residents' eyes?
• why is the town studying secondary water sources now when Woodstock has been studying secondary water sources for years?

as usual, the town is a day late and a dollar short.
