11:05 am
and that's going to have an effect on people who are here filling up. especially in places like northern virginia. now the national average is about $2.37 a gallon. but aaa is saying that that could go up anywhere from 20 to 25 cents in the coming days and weeks. of course harvey is having a big impact on the gulf coast and it's expected to be pretty significant. but nothing like hurricane katrina. if you remember back to that timeframe, gas prices shot up 30 cents virtually overnight. so we'll have to keep an eye on it. things are starting to tick up around the metro region, the national average is $2.37, here in the region, things have gone up slightly. a lot of drivers say they have to get out there and drive. >> i have to drive, i drive all over the country. and drive a lot. i really, just have to pull up and pay whatever they're extorting me for. >> you

11:10 am
message to anyone involved with groups engaged in activities prohibited by the conduct code. we've learned that not only have campus police looked into ei, but also d.c. police as well. in northwest, i'm justin finch, news4, back to you. this just in to our news room, investigators say that the two guys that you see in these surveillance images may be possible witnesses to vandalism on a confederate statue in our region. they're hoping that someone may recognize them so they can talk with them about when they might have seen. someone spray-painted graffiti on the memorial dedicated to loudoun county soldiers in leesburg, virginia. we know that a lot of your kids are back in class, in prince george's county there's one more week of summer left. the county says that's terrible for the children that they want to help succeed. less than an hour ago, school's ceo kevin maxwell

11:40 am
homes can't upsize, so they stay put. putting more pressure at the entry level where millennial demand soenl increasing. all that demand with so little supply pushes home prices higher. baby boomers own almost 3.6 million extra bedrooms according to trulia, a real estate website. goldberg has four of them. she continues to look for a new place, but she also visits her new grandchild on the west coast, leaving her big house empty for weeks at a time. so cracker barrel couldn't ask for a better ad campaign than this couple. ray and his wife wilma has been on a cross-country vision to visit every single cracker barrel restaurant. it's taken them 40 years, now they can cross off all 645 locations, which means they've been around here. because there's a couple around in this area. i wonder what their favorite thing to eat is. >> we thouge
