It’s perhaps the least-celebrated federal holiday at this point, but Columbus Day — also known as Indigenous Peoples’ Day — is still an off day for many.

After a long, pandemic summer, we’re giving our staff the day off, so ARLnow will be operating on a reduced publishing schedule on Monday. We trust that you’ll use the extra day for an even more substantive and civil discussion of local issues in the comments. 😉

Here are the most-read Arlington articles of the past week:

1. You Can Now “Sip and Stroll” in Parts of Shirlington
2. Amazon Donating $1 Million to Arlington and Alexandria Schools
3. Arlington Public Schools Proposes New Elementary School Boundaries
4. Hotel Near Rosslyn Has Closed, Ahead of Apartment Conversion
5. New Report Shows Route 1 in Crystal City as a Tree-Lined Urban Boulevard
