Library May Set Summer Reading Record — Arlington Public Library is tantalizingly close to setting a new record for participation in its summer reading program. Last year a record 7,371 students participated in the program. This year the library is “just a handful away” from reaching that number. [Sun Gazette]

Road Closures for Buckingham Festival — The Arlington County Police Department will be assisting with traffic control for the Buckingham Festival this weekend. From about 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 19, N. Pershing Drive will be closed between N. Glebe Road and N. Thomas Street. [Arlington County Police]

    Those are my husbands cairns.

    • Andrew

      Please thank your husband. I enjoy them as I ride by every day.

    homeless people arts from the people that live in 4 mile run

  • Captain_Obvious

    Why isn’t “Dog-Friendly Restaurant” a category? wtf…

  • Hank

    Anybody else find that photo strangely erotic?

    • YTK

      Maybe it should grace the front of the Whole Foods store

    • Hoodood

      I also enjoy riding past these each day on my way to and from work.

    • nom de guerre

      Not me, but I do think the cairn would make a great bollard.

    • i’m very turned on, yes.

  • JohnB

    It didn’t include best local publication. Probably because it would loose to ArlNow.com.

    • Thanks, John! We’re glad to be providing news that’s of use and interest to the Arlington community. Arlington Magazine has different goals than us — it’s more lifestyle-oriented while ARLnow.com is more news-oriented — but we think our friends over there do a great job of providing in-depth coverage of local cultural and human interest topics. They also produce some great photography.

  • Arlington Cat

    WTOP Radio did a “best of” last month and “best neighborhood” was also a category. in the end, a manufactured housing community in Chantilly came in third place thanks to some snarky people at Westfield and Chantilly High Schools.

  • Kay Kay

    What is the Buckingham Festival?

  • CW

    Was so hot this summer that all i wanted to do was sit around inside and read, too.
