The last time anyone was in the ARLnow offices in Ballston, there was an unusual sight across the street.
Though Ballston was a near ghost town, there was a fleet of Life Fitness trucks parked outside the new 4040 Wilson Blvd tower, delivering brand new fitness gear.
This weekend’s Arlington County Board meeting has been postponed.

Stunning remodel in Arlington’s sought-after Berkshire Oakwood! Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, this 1948 Cape is like nothing you’ve seen before.
The spacious main level living room features solid Oak hardwoods, a cozy gas fireplace with marble threshold, and natural light from windows on two sides. Just beyond, a showstopping 2023 kitchen renovation offers 42″ white cabinetry, Quartz countertops, all new stainless steel appliances, custom range hood, and new hardwoods throughout. A sun-soaked eat-in nook with built-in bench opens to the jaw-dropping screened porch – added in 2025 with Trex decking, a vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, in-ceiling heaters, and room for both dining and lounging.
The main level bedroom wing offers two generously sized bedrooms and a fully renovated full bath with marble basketweave tile, glass-enclosed shower, dual shower heads, and cheerful wallpaper. Upstairs, two full suites including a true ensuite primary with massive walk-in closet and a luxurious owner’s bath featuring dual sinks, Quartz surround, and a triple-head glass-enclosed shower. A fully finished lower level rec room with full bath is perfect for play, movies, or guests.
Outside, enjoy a new Bluestone patio, brand new fence, and a flat, lushly landscaped yard with year-round privacy. All of this just blocks from Nottingham Elementary in one of North Arlington’s most beloved communities.

A collaborative Summer Solstice gathering hosted by Inner Seasons and Spiritual Enhancements.
The Summer Solstice marks the peak of the sun’s power, the moment in the Wheel of the Year when light is at its fullest expression. In many traditions, this is the season of radiance, visibility, and creative fire. It is the time when nature stands unapologetically in her fullness, inviting us to do the same.
