Home Sales Surge — Home sales in Arlington County were up 29 percent during the first three months of the year, the Sun Gazette reports. The average price of homes sold rose nearly four percent. Home sales were down more than five percent in Fairfax County.

Bike Show Recap –Last week’s third annual Phoenix Bikes bike show was a success. The event, held in Ballston, serves as a fundraiser for the non-profit bike shop. More than 250 people attended, according to the Commuter Page Blog. With the price of admission set between $20 and $25, the show would have raised at least $5,000, excluding proceeds from the silent auction.
