Get ARLnow Headlines in Your Email Inbox

By ARLnow.com

You’re a busy person and don’t always have time to check to see what’s going on locally, we get it.

Maybe you rely on social media to bring you your local news, in which case you’re probably seeing more baby photos and fewer headlines these days. Or you use one of those “smart” news apps that seem to have local stories from everywhere except Arlington.

Either way, if you want to stay in the know here in Arlington, the easiest way to do so is to sign up for ARLnow’s Afternoon Update. Like clockwork, at 4 p.m. each day (when we publish) the headlines will arrive in your inbox.

No need to wade through lots of emojis or first-person writing. Just local news headlines, thumbnail photos and links. Get it by for free by signing up here.

As has remained true for the past 11 years, only ARLnow will ever email — we will not share your email address with a third party.
