Two years after launching in Arlington, MOLTN Cookies founder Neal Miglani tells ARLnow his business is not only thriving, but expanding.

The reason, Miglani says, is due to the company’s unique business model.


Given the recent kerfuffle on Instagram over ARLnow’s use of an AI-generated image to illustrate a story, we wanted to update readers on our use of artificial intelligence.

AI technology is rapidly developing and the extent to which it will ultimately reshape the media industry is unclear. The CEO of a news organization down the street from us, in Clarendon, believes AI will “eviscerate the weak, the ordinary, the unprepared in media” and is part of “a very fundamental shift in how people relate to news and information… as profound, if not more profound, than moving from print to digital.”


After a year of delays, plans to open a well-regarded Mediterranean restaurant in a former Clarendon music venue appear to have fizzled.

The space that the Fairfax-based Kirby Club identified for a second location back in 2022 is now listed as “available” on The Crossing Clarendon’s retail leasing page.


Arlington and high-end yoga pants are a match of market and product that’s right up there with 17th century Dutchmen and tulips.

Thus it’s only appropriate that the foremost purveyor of the former would open a second Arlington location.


(Updated at 11:30 a.m.) A Citibank and a New York City-based American restaurant are coming to Clarendon.

Both businesses are slated to open in The Crossing Clarendon in several months, the shopping center’s general manager, EJ Enciso, told ARLnow.
