After years of reports of coyote sightings in various parts of north Arlington, county naturalists finally have visual proof of their existence.
Before the artwork was proposed, the county was already planning to install an industrial film over the glass panels that line the conference rooms, to minimize the “distracting ‘fishbowl effect'” of people constantly walking by and peering inside during meetings.

The artwork was dubbed “Untitled” by Meyers.

Va. Residents Are 60 Percent of Nats Attendance — About 60 percent of those attending Nationals baseball games are from Virginia, compared to about 25 percent from Maryland and 15 percent from the District, according to internal team numbers.

A large cluster of office buildings is now proposed for what could have been the site of the baseball stadium. [Washington Post]
