It’s Friday everyone! This means the end of a busy week for Arlington with news about everything from transit updates to whether Arlington really does recycle its glass and how Amazon may already be affecting real estate development.

It’s also been a week for Arlingtonians making their voices heard — whether that’s by signing petitions to save high school crew teams or literally singing on The Voice.

Then there’s the weather, from flooding to sunshine — it’s been a rollercoaster. Even the dogs are happier now, at least until the thunderstorm warnings kicked in.

It's Friday which means an early #weatherpupdates with Tiko, a distinguished store proprietor in Ballston who thinks the dry weather this afternoon, which is expected to continue this weekend, is much better for business thank you very much. @ARLnowDOTcom pic.twitter.com/YVhxtv4VTh
