ARLnow Weekend Discussion

It was another busy week in Arlington, but one bit of good news held up for the entire week: Arlington’s coronavirus prognosis continues to look good.

With relatively few new infections and an improving local economic outlook, there’s reason for optimism. But as Texas and Florida shows, there remains a possibility that the virus could come back and disrupt Arlington’s economy anew.

That’s all the more reason to wear a mask while indoors in a public place or outdoors in a crowd.

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

  1. County Manager’s Memo Regarding Removal of Black Lives Matter Chalk Art
  2. Va. Attorney General Sues Advanced Towing
  3. Virginia to Enter ‘Phase 3’ Reopening Next Week
