With County Board meetings, budget news, and plenty of other things going on, it was a busy week in Arlington.
Expect more of the same next week, with County Board budget sessions instead.

weekend discussion
We’ve run the gauntlet of frozen precipitation over the past week, and apparently more could be on the way Monday morning before a mid-week warm-up.
If you’re sick of being cold and damp, just sit inside next to the fireplace (or space heater) tonight and catch up on the following top Arlington stories of the week.
It may not be a holiday for Arlington County this year, but Monday is still a state and federal holiday.
Except in the case of breaking news, ARLnow will not be publishing on Presidents Day, aka George Washington Day in Virginia. Our normal news coverage schedule will resume on Tuesday, though don’t be surprised to see some weather coverage on Saturday if the predicted iciness materializes locally.
If the snowy past week was enjoyable for you, more fun may be in store.
Another few inches of snow may fall this weekend, forecasters say, just in time for Super Bowl Sunday. For those who need an excuse to get the kids out of the house for awhile — you know who you are — more sledding and snowman-making may be ahead.
A busy news week, with a pair of County Board meetings to report on, is set to give way to a busy news weekend, with a snowstorm bearing down on the D.C. region.
As we await the storm, here are the most-read Arlington articles of the week:
Even though the bulk of the action was across the river, it was still an eventful week in Arlington.
There’s a new presidential administration and a new balance of power Congress. In one sense, local life in Arlington continues with few visible changes when the political balance of power shifts on the other side of the Potomac. On the other hand, federal policies do have a tangible local impact, and a change in administration often means changes in the job titles of local residents.

It’s been, to say the least, a busy couple of weeks for local news.
At this point next week is not looking any less eventful, though barring breaking news we will not be publishing on Monday on account of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday. (Note the county government closures and lack of parking enforcementon Monday.)
‘Twas the afternoon before Christmas, when all through the county, hardly a creature was stirring outside, on account of the heavy rain.
This is the last post before ARLnow takes a three-day holiday break. However you’re spending this pandemic Christmas, in a year filled with anxiety and strife, we hope it’s relaxing and you get to enjoy a long winter’s nap
The week started with a bang, literally.
The demolition of the former Rosslyn Holiday Inn hotel tower on Sunday, with photos and video from ARLnow staff photographer Jay Westcott, was far and away our most-read story of the week.
The weekend is here but the week’s biggest local excitement is yet to happen.
The implosion of the former Rosslyn Holiday Inn is set for 8 a.m. on Sunday. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to take a look at the planned road closures.

Another week is in the books, and we’re now seven days closer to 2020 mercifully coming to a close.
It’s been another busy week in Arlington, and with a County Board week upcoming, it might not be until just before Christmas that the news finally slows down around here.
Congratulations on getting through Thanksgiving, whether that meant a large family dinner, a smaller pandemic-appropriate gathering, or a solo holiday.
Today is Black Friday, which usually means large crowds at the malls but will likely be more noticeable in the form of lots of delivery vans criss-crossing local streets next week. As always, but especially this year, please try to shop local whenever possible.
