It’s time to batten down the hatches and get ready for your tryptophan coma: a windy Thanksgiving is upon us.
While we take a brief holiday break (we’ll have a lighter than usual publishing schedule Friday), feel free to discuss anything of local note in the comments.
Happy Thanksgiving from ARLnow!
A rainy and windy weekend is on tap ahead of Thanksgiving week.

It has been a cold week throughout which big national news is being made across the Potomac.
Here in Arlington, though, the biggest story might be the one-year anniversary of the Amazon HQ2 announcement, and all of the ramifications of Amazon’s arrival coming into clearer view. The economic benefits of HQ2 are becoming more tangible, but the urgency of the housing challenges — and pushback on the effects of population growth — seems to be increasing as well.

A long, three-day Veterans Day weekend is here, as is a three-day stretch of dry and warming weather, ahead of the next blast of cold and precipitation.
(Sorry, Arlington snow lovers, Tuesday probably isn’t it, after all.)
It’s been an eventful week in Arlington, punctuated by this morning’s major water main break near Chain Bridge. A boil water advisory remains in effect for a large portion of the county.
What if I drank the water before I heard I shouldn’t?

A seasonably chilly — but sunny! — weekend is on tap after a busy week of Halloween, storms and winning the World Series (there’s a parade in D.C. tomorrow).
Aside from a possible freeze overnight, the weather should be pleasant and fall-like enough for some outdoor activities or ice skating during the day. Or you can check out some of the local events that are happening indoors.
Here are the biggest stories of the past week that was in Arlington:

A cloudy and then rainy weekend is on tap — but with any luck the rain will hold off until the Nationals win the World Series in four. (Crosses fingers.)
In case you didn’t see it, earlier today we listed some places to cheer on the Nats in Arlington, along with specials being offered during the game.
While you gear up for Game 3, here are the most-read stories so far this week.

A busy weekend of fall events is on tap, as Nats fans prepare for the team’s first World Series appearance in generations.
With the NLCS afterglow still strong, the #2 story on our list of the most-read stories of the week should be no surprise.

It’s Columbus Day weekend — or Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend, in Alexandria or D.C. — which means an extra day off for federal employees and others.
It should be a close-to-perfect weekend weather-wise, full of fall events in Arlington and other parts of D.C. area.
ARLnow will be publishing on a reduced schedule on Monday, though our staff will be in the office working on future projects and ready to tackle breaking news.
Here are the most-read articles we published this week:

A warm and mostly dry weekend is on tap, though any rain that falls will be welcome given the region’s current drought.
There’s a ton to do this weekend and over the coming week, so be sure to check out our Arlington Agenda post and event calendar to plan your local outings.
If you’re heading into D.C. on the Metro, an important heads up: the Yellow Line bridge over the Potomac will be closed for the bridge’s annual inspection, so you’ll need to take the Blue Line to the District instead.
In the meantime, here are the most-read articles of the past week.
