Arlington and high-end yoga pants are a match of market and product that’s right up there with 17th century Dutchmen and tulips.
Thus it’s only appropriate that the foremost purveyor of the former would open a second Arlington location.

Think we forgot about the ARLnow Shop after the pre-Christmas shopping rush?
Well you’re right, we did. But not for long, because the shop is back with new product just in time for Valentine’s Day.
A new vintage clothing shop owned by a Washington-Liberty grad is looking to open in Clarendon next week.
People’s Place Blvd is opening up at 3179 Wilson Blvd, a prime spot near Clarendon Ballroom and Spider Kelly’s. The plan is to open on Saturday, Nov. 12, co-owner Fabricio Gamarra tells ARLnow. The store will specialize in buying, selling, and trading vintage clothing.

(Updated 12 p.m.) Today (Thursday) marks one month since Russia invaded Ukraine, plunging the country and Arlington’s sister city, Ivano-Frankivsk, into war.

In something of a holiday tradition, ARLnow has a new gondola-related shirt for all fans of high fashion and aerial lift transportation.
If you thought last year’s Gondola Now! shirt was a bit understated, and if you know that the truth is out there in the search for the perfect cross-Potomac transit system, then this is the shirt for you.
There wasn’t much of a need to update one’s wardrobe for the first year of the pandemic, with many folks stuck inside and Zoom calls serving as the primary exposure to the outside world.
With people returning to the office, however, and with travel and events ramping back up, that’s starting to change.
Local women’s clothing store Malena Boutique, a longtime Arlington staple, has opened an online shop to reach more customers.
Store manager Andrea Cecchi said she started developing the online presence when Malena — which has been in business for four decades — had to close its Courthouse storefront last spring during the first wave of COVID-19 shutdowns.

Euphoria, a flea market that has drawn huge crowds to Arlington’s normally quiet Barcroft neighborhood, went so viral on the social media app TikTok that it’s now on hold here while its founder figures out how to handle the newfound popularity.
The market was launched by Washington-Lee (now Washington-Liberty) High School graduate Fabricio Gamarra and features vintage sneakers, t-shirts and other carefully-curated items.
The Arlington County Police Department is considering changing up the look of its dress uniform.
The “Class A” uniform — which differs from the standard navy patrol uniform worn by most officers in the field (the patrol uniform is green for K9 handlers) — is due for a change because its heather blue color is “increasingly difficult to obtain” from distributors, ACPD said.
We hope you enjoyed our series of locally-themed t-shirts available for the holiday season.
