While the Halloween displays in stores may start in August, pumpkins and other decor typically don’t start appearing in yards, front entrances and balconies until well into September.

What’s the most common time to put out the spooky decorations in Arlington? Let’s find out.

Todd Isao Endo was born in Los Angeles, California on December 30, 1941, just three weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to Frank Aiji Endo and Alice Yuriko Sumida Endo. In 1942, Todd and his family were imprisoned by the U.S. government along with 125,000 other Japanese Americans during World War II. The Endo family was detained at Rohwer Internment Center in Arkansas until 1945. After their release, Todd’s family relocated to Ohio before settling in the Washington, DC area. There Todd grew up and attended school graduating from Wheaton High School in 1959. A strong scholar/athlete, Todd played basketball and baseball, participated in student government, and won the Japanese American Citizens League national oratorical contest in 1962. Todd continued his education at Oberlin College where he met lifelong friends and continued to enjoy academics and play sports (soccer, basketball & squash). He graduated in history in 1963.
Compelled by his family’s experience of unjust treatment during the internment, and urged by his mother Alice to recognize parallels between the Japanese American experience with the unjust treatment of African Americans, Todd became involved in the Civil Rights Movement, participating in the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 and later taking part in the voting rights demonstrations in Selma, Alabama in 1965.
A woman was injured by a tree on a relatively remote section of the Pimmit Run Trail this afternoon.
The incident happened around 2 p.m. on the trail, which runs along Pimmit Run near the Arlington-Fairfax County border. Initial reports suggest the woman was struck by a large, falling tree branch, suffering potential back and neck injuries.
Work on a permanent roundabout at the intersection of Military Road and Nelly Custis Drive is moving forward, but it won’t be finished for a couple years.
The project, which follows temporary changes to the intersection in 2021, will involve widening sidewalks, upgrading utilities and installing a rain garden at the center of the roundabout.
