News

Regional mutual-aid agreements do not require Arlington agencies to support federal policing efforts in D.C., County Board Chair Takis Karantonis believes.

The federal government is not a signatory to those agreements, and even if a request came via D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, it would receive close scrutiny, Karantonis said at a Tuesday luncheon of Arlington Senior Democrats.


Around Town

It was, both literally and figuratively, the calm before the storm.

The bottles were all lined up against the wall, awaiting their executioners. The lights were on at the rides, but the vehicles were frozen in place like cars on I-95 and crowded with fair workers savoring their last moment of downtime before the floodgates opened.


Events

Prix fixe dining deals are coming soon to the D.C. area with the start of this summer’s Restaurant Week.

Over two dozen restaurants in Arlington and Falls Church are expected to participate in the biannual promotion, which kicks off on Monday, Aug. 18 and lasts through Sunday, Aug. 24. These include spots like the new Bar Chinois in Crystal City and ARLnow reader favorite Lyon Hall.


Opinion

With a week and a half to go before the start of school in Arlington, we’re decidedly in the waning days of summer.

Nights are cooler. Pre-season football is on TV. Fall plans are being made. And office parking lots have plenty of open spaces thanks to people getting their final beach vacations in.

In all, the mid-August vibes are strong and that leads to another thing: a general pre-Labor Day malaise.

As the dog days drag on, an August inertia sets in for some, making it ever more excruciating to wake up in the morning and put in a full day’s work. A lucky few may have the flexibility to unilaterally slash their working hours and output, while the rest of us just have to muddle through.

How prevalent is this late summer lethargy in Arlington? Let’s find out.


News

Erick Alfaro Guevara, 46, pleaded guilty yesterday (Wednesday) to one count of conspiracy to engage in interstate transportation and sale of stolen goods, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia announced.
