Rethink Energy: Not Your Father’s (or Mother’s) Library

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Arlington libraries aren’t “ssshhh-ing” students and they aren’t stocked with microfiche film anymore. Remember those film readers?

It’s 2016 and the Arlington Public Library is evolving into a 21st century community resource and research center complete with garden tool lending, computer labs, and even American Girl dolls. And now they are showcases of energy efficiency as well.

WWBG: The Goldilocks Pour

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Editor’s Note: This biweekly column is sponsored by Dominion Wine and Beer (107 Rowell Court, Falls Church). This column was written by Garrett Cruce, a Cicerone Program Certified Beer Server, who also writes about beer on his own blog: beerbeltway.wordpress.com. Catch new posts there on Sundays. 

Just the other day, I was pouring a beer just as I had been doing for a couple years — straight down the middle. I was executing a perfect pour — or so I thought. The beer in my glass was flat. Could it have been because of the pour? Was there a more perfect pour, a “goldilocks pour?”

Just Listed in Arlington

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market within the past week. This feature is written and sponsored by Team Cathell, “Your Orange Line Specialists.”

The long Easter holiday weekend seems to have slowed Arlington’s real estate market this week with fewer listings and sales than in the previous few weeks. Only 67 new listings came on the market this week, while only 61 properties sold. Last week, 89 homes went under contract. There were also fewer bidding wars this week which was great news for buyers. The average days on market remains steady at 46.  Overall inventory is still far below that of a balanced market.

Rental Trends: Landlords, Should You Buy Vacant Home Insurance?

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

This biweekly sponsored column is written by the experts at Gordon James Realty, a local property management firm that specializes in residential real estate, commercial real estate and home owner associations. Please submit any questions in the comments section or via email.

Many landlords are unfamiliar with vacant home insurance even though the coverage is critical to protecting their real estate investments. The primary reason has to do with landlord insurance policies that typically only extend to occupied properties. If those dwelling places are vacant for more than 30 or 60 days (the time period is dependent on the insurance carrier and policy) landlord insurance can cease to apply.

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

The Local Woof is a column that’s sponsored and written by the staff of Woofs! Dog Training Center. Woofs! has full-service dog training, boarding, and daycare facilities, near Shirlington and Ballston.
