Any word on what happened on Wilson at about Liberty St (near Upton Hill) last night? Drove by around 8PM, and there were about 10 police cars with lights on, investigating something going on in one of the houses on Wilson, right before the pink shops. Also, there were helicoperters circling the area earlier in the day.
I heard a lot of sirens earlier last evening and one helicopter circling that area for at least a couple of hours. I live a few blocks east of Wilson & Liberty. I wondered what was going on, I thought maybe there was a pursuit on I-66, which is close to my house.
Yet another car crashing into a building. Can I bet $20 that EVERY instance of this happening was someone driving an automatic transmission?
AUTOMATIC = INCOMPETENT
Wow, steve, that’s a new one.
Building crashing is the new bank robbery.
Huh?
Huh?
That would be a pretty safe bet. That’s not because automatic transmission drivers are incompetent though; it’s because more than 90 percent of cars on the road have automatic transmission, and the number is dropping. I love driving manual transmission, but you are very limited in your options if you will only consider manual in a new car.
Any updates on ZOE’s Kitchen – wasn’t open at all this weekend.
Did the earthquake and/or the build an ark downpours upset driver’s navigation systems — or, as I know cah happen from my past involvement with the media, is the apparent upsurge in cars leaving the roadways a reflection of a surge in media reporting of such incidents?
Yes.
More likely, auto into building crashes are the result guys discovering the Chandroid porn app for their smart phone.
Don’t you wish you could track the number of guys who just went and googled “chandroid?”
+1
It’ll be about the same as the number of guys who googled “Arlington Physical Center” after last week’s massage article.
Has anyone had these LeoNora baguettes?
I am dying for a good baguette connection in Arlington.
They’re really pretty good, especially the multi-grain one. But if you’re hoping for something truly Parisian, I’m afraid you’re likely to be at least a little disappointed.
It will be interesting to see how this race turns out, knowing that Merrick has a 9:1 financial advantage, intellectual advantage, looks/ personality advantage… and all Babs has is the Party/ ideology (and her limited ability to implement it).
It’s like a Mini-Reverse Presidential Election of 2008!
The 31st Senate race should be interesting to watch right up to the end on election night, but don’t be unduly swayed by the cash-on-hand difference at August 31. That was mere 8 days after the Dems’ bruising primary, and I’d hazard to guess that Favola has greatly restocked her coffers since then.
Advanced Towing again?
In this One Party region, the Democrats could have Pol Pot as their nominee and he would still win against a Republican Abraham Lincoln. It does not matter how inept, how incompetent, how corrupt, there are too many people around here for whom their hatred and antipathy for Republicans is simply too great. We need look no further than that buffoon and bully Jim Moran to see that.
In this One Party state, the Republicans could have Genghis Kahn as their nominee and he would still win against a Democratic Thomas Jefferson. It does not matter how inept, how incompetent, how corrupt, there are too many people around here for whom their hatred and antipathy for Democrats is simply too great. We need look no further than that buffoon and bully (insert hated Republican…Ken Cuccinelli will work) to see that.
(Just as pointless and stupid a post as yours.)
Except that the Cuch is kicking butt and taking names and Moran is a useless buffoon and an embarrassment…
(whether you agree with the Cuch is a matter of opinion)
I personally think that the corruption and ineptitude will eventually reach critical mass, and the pendulum will start to swing the other way, but then again you guys all know I’m an optimist.
“Taking names”? Is Virginia spying on its citizens now?
Gosh, Kev, you failed miserably to get my post because you’re hopelessly biased? Shocking.
So, drax –
Tim Kaine and Mark Warner were Gengis Kahn Republicans? Our two Democrat senators are Gengis Kahn Republicans?
drax? drax? Where’d you go?
I guess it was a stupid post of mine to think you’d get the point.
But thanks for proving my point. Instead of defending the Democrat, you simply attacked a Republican (Cuccinelli). Your anti-Republicanism trumps all else.
Not all Democrats are bad, but the Democrat Party in Arlington is a Hate Machine.
I know that when I want unbiased political analysis, I always look to Kev.
