A new update to Microsoft Flight Simulator has included a much needed visual upgrade for Arlington, bringing new life to the county’s landmarks and neighborhoods.
The game, which allows armchair pilots to visit any location on the planet, previously had a very barebones version of the area, with little more than square blocks to denote local buildings.
Change appears to be coming to the Clarendon building housing music venue B Live and rooftop bar Coco B’s.
The property at 2854 Wilson Blvd, built in 1951 and formerly home to longtime local bar Whitlow’s, has been listed for sale or lease online. A brochure says the first floor and rooftop space, totalling nearly 8,000 square feet, “can be leased separately or together.”
