Top Arlington stories of 2025: #11-20

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is New Year’s Eve, and at ARLnow we’re continuing our countdown of this year’s most-read stories.

Stories #11-20 included a mix of heavy and lighthearted coverage, with a couple surprises thrown in.

Two political stories — both connected to political activity at the home of Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy — made the cut. In a somewhat unusual turn, so did a poll about the best coffee shop in Arlington and a reminder about a deadline to clear sidewalks of snow.

Here are the headlines. We’ll close out the year tomorrow with the top 10.
