Falls Church’s two new elected officials are likely to be on the dais when their respective bodies next convene.
Both the City Council and School Board will meet Tuesday evening (Nov. 12). And if paperwork requirements are met, the two victors in special elections will be sworn in before those meetings begin.
*Mamistad Groups meet IN PERSON-only the introductory Zoom call is virtual. :)
Pregnancy and new mom groups are a lifesaver when it comes to normalizing those feelings we just can’t be prepared for.

Robbery in Ballston — “At approximately 2:34 p.m. on November 7, police were dispatched to the report of an armed robbery. Upon arrival, it was determined that the male suspect entered the business and inquired about purchasing merchandise. The suspect then threatened an employee with a knife, stole cigarettes and subsequently fled the scene on foot.” [ACPD]
VSP Encrypts Radio Channels — From Dave Statter: “Last night at 6:51 p.m., @VSPPIO radio channels became encrypted. This means the public will be much less informed about the work of Virginia State Police troopers here in Northern Virginia and throughout the Commonwealth. At a time when police agencies should strive to be more open and transparent this is pulling down the blinds.” [Twitter]
Rosslyn Crash on Camera — Also from Statter: “Red light runner: Another one at N. Lynn St. and eastbound Langston Blvd. in Rosslyn, VA, leads to another crash. The walls for the construction site make it a blind intersection reducing any chance of the vehicle on Langston to be able to avoid the white car on Lynn.” [Twitter]
