Artisphere Gets Exclusive Photo Exhibit — Artisphere has scored a bit of a coup by becoming the first and only venue in the United States to host an exhibit of the personal photos of famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. “These images reveal a little-known side of the artist and lifelong resident of Mexico City suburb and Arlington, Va. sister city, Coyoacán,” Artisphere said in a press release. “The collection of photographs in this exhibition reflect Kahlo’s tastes and interests, the experiences she shared with those close to her, and her complicated, but also thrilling, personal life.” [Artisphere]
General Assembly May Ban Motorcycle Checkpoints — State legislators are considering a bill that would ban police from setting up motorcycle-only safety checkpoints. Arlington is one of the jurisdictions cited as having conducted such a “discriminatory” checkpoint — during last year’s Rolling Thunder ride to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. [Virginian-Pilot]

Interesting article about CNA. Maybe Arlington really IS a good place to do business.
And having the new DoD Mark Center building and the associated traffic was probably a bit much for them.
Does anyone know what happened to the tree swing in the Cherrydale park/lot from the picture?
One of the trees on the lot was severely damaged by high winds and subsequently removed. Not sure if it was the one the swing hung from.
Thanks!
Arlington sure has a lot of sister cities. I bet Arlington’s mom was a slut.
Yep, a whole parliament full of them.
The county gets around – like a record, baby.
