ARLnow is approaching its 16th anniversary next month and much has changed in media during that time.
On the digital side, the blogging era gave way to the Buzzfeed era of scaled, social media-driven audiences, which has since given way to a more atomized era of niche media, podcasters, YouTubers and email newsletters.
An institution in the D.C. area adult entertainment scene is changing hands to a regional chain.

At the close of a tumultuous economic year for Arlington, County Board Chair Takis Karantonis is seeking a return to stability and continued focus on infrastructure goals in 2026.
Karantonis, who is coming to the end of his one-year turn at the County Board chairmanship, used an interview with Fox 5 yesterday (Thursday) to emphasize the hardship that 2025 has brought to many of Arlington’s federal workers, immigrant communities and businesses large and small.
An affordable housing complex on Columbia Pike has been added to the Virginia Landmarks Register, setting the stage for possibly achieving historic status.
The Barcroft Apartments community, located near the corner of S. George Mason Drive and S. Four Mile Run Drive, was one of eight properties added to the Virginia Landmarks Register by the Virginia Board of Historic Resources on Dec. 11.
The Arlington County Board has tapped the brakes on discussing any changes to the county’s governance structure, agreeing to return to the issue after some preliminary steps.
The 5-0 decision on Wednesday night, which deferred a vote on setting up a governance task force for at least seven months for further public outreach, represented a compromise between a deeply divided Board.
Youngkin Touts Strong Va. Economy — “At a time when legislative budget analysts warn of a looming downturn, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) had a contrary message Wednesday for the incoming administration of Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D): The state’s economy is “rip-roaring.” Don’t mess it up. “Let’s hold the next administration accountable for keeping it going. That is what I am most worried about,” Youngkin told reporters Wednesday morning.” [Washington Post, FFXnow]
East Potomac Golf Changes? — “Behind the scenes, administration officials have discussed a far more ambitious makeover for East Potomac. They have floated potential names such as “Washington National Golf Course” and talked about whether the site could someday host the Ryder Cup. To make such a venue possible, officials and outside advisers have discussed expanding the course’s footprint toward the water, potentially eliminating portions of Ohio Drive SW.” [Washington Post]
Cold Weather Set to Return — “Late December may turn colder — and possibly wintry — again. Even as parts of the central U.S. warm up around Christmas (with a bit of that mild air occasionally nudging east), there’s little evidence of a sustained warm stretch for our region. Instead, signals are growing that chillier, more unsettled weather could return late next week and beyond.” [CWG/X]
It’s Friday — Expect rain and potentially a thunderstorm in the morning, followed by a slight chance of rain until 2pm. Temperatures will drop to around 38 by 5 pm with breezy south winds between 15 and 23 mph, shifting west and gusting up to 47 mph. Friday night will be mostly clear and breezy, with lows around 27, west winds between 17 and 22 mph decreasing to 6 to 11 mph after midnight, and gusts up to 46 mph. [NWS]
