A holiday weekend (for some of us) is here, and the weather is cooperating with some pleasant early-fall temperatures.
Though the forecast heats up heading into next week, temperatures should hover around the 70s for much of the long weekend.
That should be good news for anyone heading out to the Army Ten-Miler race, the Columbia Pike Fall Festival, or any of the other events happening around the county this weekend.
And you can always take a few minutes to catch up on our most popular stories from the past week:

Signature Theatre just released single tickets for all 33rd season productions, which highlights the organization’s long-time relationship with legendary composer Stephen Sondheim. Beginning with the musical adaptation of The Color Purple and irreverent No Place to Go, the season continues with three Sondheim musicals, the DC premieres of Off-Broadway hit Which Way to the Stage and Pulitzer Prize finalist Selling Kabul, the Tony Award®-winning rock musical Passing Strange, and return of Signature’s cabaret series honoring legendary artists.
“Last November, the world lost an icon. The death of Stephen Sondheim was a blow to everyone in the theater community. Signature Theatre would not be the same without Sondheim — he IS Signature’s ‘signature.’ This season, we are honoring the legend with productions of Into the Woods, Pacific Overtures and Sweeney Todd dedicated to his memory. These shows represent the diversity and range of Sondheim,” said Signature’s Artistic Director Matthew Gardiner about the new season.
