A car wash and a haunted house? That’s what I like to call efficient. Head to Tommy’s Express locations at either 7048 Forest Hill Ave. or 3110 North Arthur Ashe Blvd. for a spooky car wash through the Tunnel of Terror. Visit their website for more information.

The 11th annual Hike for Kids that raises money for the Blue Sky Fund will be on Saturday beginning at the Virginia War Memorial downtown.
