It’s hard to beat an ice-hockey team that doesn’t allow any goals.
Opponents of the Washington-Liberty Generals found that out in the Capital Scholastic Hockey League playoffs. W-L went 3-0, with three shutouts, to win the crown.
Led by five first-place relays and individuals winning six races, the Marymount University Saints won a third straight Atlantic East Conference men’s swimming championship.
The Division III team was first with 917 points, nearly 100 more than runner-up St. Mary’s College of Virginia.
Welcome to Kami’s Korner, where we’ll take a deep dive into Arlington’s condominium market by focusing on what’s coming next. From emerging developments to shifting trends, this space will spotlight the opportunities and insights shaping the future of condo living in Arlington.
What defines luxury in housing? It’s perhaps the most overused word in the English language. I recently saw a sign for “Affordable Luxury Apartments” and smiled to myself. Arlington, particularly Rosslyn, with communities like Turnberry Tower, Pierce, and Gaslight Square, has achieved critical mass in luxury condominium options. The condo market in Arlington continues to get better, consumers demand more thoughtful design, and local product becomes more desirable. For new condominiums, luxury is really made up of two factors: price point of the offering (a reflection of location, unit finishes and quality of plan), and condo fees (amenities, level of service.)
Pricing is predominantly set by the location. A majority of value is determined by neighborhood desirability, socio-economics of its residents, quality of schools, convenience to employment, retail, transit, market factors, and social centers. Arlington has all of these in spades!
Fourth-place finishes were the highest recorded by Arlington athletes at the Virginia High School League Class 6 girls and boys state track-and-field championship meets, held March 3-4 in Virginia Beach.
The fourths were achieved by the Wakefield Warriors’ Travon Buckner in the boys triple jump (44-10.75) and the Yorktown Patriots’ Reid Dalley in the boys 1,600-meter run (4:20.74).
Basheer Hadi turned in the top performance from an Arlington school at the state wrestling tournament, when the Yorktown High School senior placed second at the 285 heavyweight division.
Hadi lost by a 7-2 score in the title match at the Virginia High School League Class 6 state competition in Virginia Beach.

The spring real-estate market is about to bloom, and some of the most sought-after homes in Arlington are located along Little Falls Road and in the neighborhoods that flank them.
Whether Rock Spring, Yorktown, Williamsburg or East Falls Church, the neighborhoods Little Falls Road traverses are interesting and eclectic. Along the way, you will pass a number of religious buildings and schools (public and private).
Falls Church officials appear willing to hold off, for now, on moving City Council elections to a ranked-choice format.
“It might be better to wait,” city elections director David Bjerke said at a Monday Falls Church Electoral Board meeting.

An Arlington author and journalist has published a new book on a jazz musician’s harrowing experiences in World War II.
In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, musician Artie Shaw joined up with the U.S. Navy to perform in a touring, morale-boosting band. He’d return home two years later, shattered by the Battle of Guadalcanal.

Police and firefighters rescued a man precariously stuck in the mud near Roosevelt Island this morning.
Initial reports suggest that a man in his 70s became stuck in the mud while trying to retrieve a walking stick between the Mount Vernon Trail and the Potomac River. Per scanner traffic, he sank in the mud until he was nearly neck-deep, prompting a large rescue response.
