Traffic Impacts for ‘Wreaths’ — “On Saturday, December 17, several thousand volunteers will descend upon the Cemetery and help lay wreaths on every gravesite throughout the property beginning at 8:00 a.m. The public can anticipate large crowds and heavy pedestrian traffic related to the event. Traffic is expected to be impacted in and around the immediate area and motorists are advised to allot for extended travel times and seek alternate routes to reduce road congestion.” [ACPD]

Strange Claim About Arlington Cop — From Dave Statter: “Who You Gonna Call? For Roger Stone it’s not Ghostbusters (an obvious choice in this case) It’s a friend. A police officer ‘who works in Arlington’ is Roger’s expert on demonic portals — at the White House.” [Twitter, Mediaite]

Home Sales Down in N. Va. — “It’s a given, based on current market conditions, that home sales are down significantly on a year-over-year basis in November across the region. What’s interesting is how consistent those declines were in November among the five major localities in Northern Virginia… Add up the five localities, and home sales for the month stood at 1,844, a decline of 46.3 percent from the 3,437 transactions of November 2021.” [Sun Gazette]

It’s Friday — Partly cloudy throughout the day. High of 46 and low of 35. Sunrise at 7:22 am and sunset at 4:49 pm. [Weather.gov]
