Arlington’s County Manager has apologized for the frustrating user experience on the new county website, which has left thousands of broken links in the wake of its launch.

Takohachi Japanese Restaurant is planning to reopen along Columbia Pike, albeit at a different shopping center.
The restaurant expects to open within the next month at Penrose Square, the owner tells ARLnow, provided it can secure the proper county permits in time.
