More Southwest Cancellations — “As Southwest Airlines continues its struggle to get planes and crews to airports, about 2,400 flights across the United States were canceled Thursday, including seven at Dulles Airport and 64 at Reagan National Airport. The airline also canceled 192 scheduled flights at Baltimore/Washington International Airport, which serves many Virginia travelers.” [Patch]

Buyer Interest Remains in Arlington — “Even as much of the rest of the region goes into winter hibernation, real-estate-wise, there is still some decent activity in portions of Arlington. In fact, five ZIP codes within the county remain in the ‘High’ level of buyer interest, according to the December T3 Home-Demand Index.” [Sun Gazette]

Award for Local Lawmaker — “Del. Patrick Hope (D-Arlington) on Dec. 17 was the recipient of the 2022 Equality Award from the Arlington-Alexandria Gay and Lesbian Alliance (AGLA).
