Local Olympic Rivalry — “Arlington County and Alexandria have long enjoyed some friendly competition — and now, that rivalry has made its way to the Olympics… That friendly rivalry has been competitive enough that Arlington County Board member Maureen Coffey (D) took to social media on Monday with a chart comparing her home county with its neighbor.” [Washington Post]

Road Closures for County Fair — “The Arlington County Fair will take place from August 14th–18th at Thomas Jefferson Community Center located at 3501 2nd Street South. The Arlington County Police Department will conduct the following road closures to accommodate the event.” [ACPD]
