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:
- Mt. Vernon Trail Blocked After Construction Equipment Damages Bridge
- Body Found Near Base of Antenna Tower Along Lee Highway
- Ballston Quarter Wins Approval for Outdoor Seating in New Plaza
- Three Restaurants Replacing Clarendon’s La Tasca Now Set for Early 2019 Opening
- Artist Emerges for Mysterious Street Art in Pentagon City, Crystal City
Head down to the comments to discuss these stories, your weekend plans or anything else local. Have a great one!
