Today was another hot day, but this weekend is looking a bit rainy.
Alter your Derby Day attire accordingly, and remember to be responsible with your celebration during the races and at any Cinco de Mayo festivities you find yourself at.
Before you break out the fascinators and make yourself a mint julep, let’s take a look back at ARLnow’s most read stories over the past week.
- Following Sudden Death of Patrick Henry Elementary Principal, Temporary Replacement Named
- Country Clubs, County Strike Deal to End Tax Standoff
- ACPD Investigating Fatal Pedestrian Crash on Columbia Pike
- APS Eyes Seven Elementary Schools as Future “Option” Program Sites
- Reaction: Parents Frustrated, Miss Work over APS Tech Failure
If you missed our earlier coverage of the School Board meeting, here it is. The meeting was held at the new Syphax Education Center, after officials had done some good, old fashioned ribbon cutting.
Feel free to discuss these topics, your weekend plans, how much you love or loathe gondola talk, or anything else that’s happening locally in the comments below. Have a great weekend!

Unlike our competitors, Well-Paid Maids doesn’t clean your home with harsh chemicals. Instead, we handpick cleaning products rated “safest” by the Environmental Working Group, the leading rating organization regarding product safety.
The reason is threefold.
First, using safe cleaning products ensures toxic chemicals won’t leak into waterways or harm wildlife if disposed of improperly.
Second, it’s better for you and your family. Fragrant chemicals in surface cleaners can expose you to a similar amount of pollutant particles as a busy city road, New Scientist reported.
