I hope regular ArlNow writer didn’t make this mistake. He’s a journalist!
I’m proud to say that in my 10 months of running this site that’s my first dumb apostrophe mistake. I blame the cold I’m currently fighting.
Katie,
Thanks — all too common a mistake.
O-power???
As in O-bama? And he even stopped by for a visit?
I hope this isn’t another scam.
If leaf collection is scheduled to begin on Dec. 4, when are you supposed to rake them? Most people work M-F.
Stupid.
The leaf schedule in Arlington is always stupid. In most years the November pick up is too early because the leaves haven’t fallen yet (like last year, and unlike this year). The 2nd pick up December is fine unless like last year you get snow early… then they never come by again. The leaves sit and rot the grass. But the citizen is expected to clean it up and bag it… which for me is near impossible with the amount of leaves I put out each fall. The county can fail to do their job but fine me if I don’t shovel snow in the time frame they are happy with from the sidewalks I didn’t ask for but they installed. Ha!
Quick update: from what we’re told, Spider Kelly’s opened today as usual, no problems.
