Early estimates indicate damage will be in the 'millions of dollars'
Arlington County has shifted to recovery mode following the massive Superstorm Sandy that swept the area this week, and preliminary estimates indicate damage will be in the millions of dollars.

No storm-related injuries or fatalities reported late Monday.
The winds may still be blowing, but Arlington County will wake to a relative standstill Tuesday with the federal government and county and schools facilities closed and public transit ground to a halt. Arlington County saw numerous trees and wires down, but no injuries or fatalities related to Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy were reported.

Things to do within close striking distance.
We’re over the hump. The days are getting longer and your SAD is waning. Maybe it’s time to get out there and meet people, take in a show, scrape the rock salt out from under your fingernails and mulch the Christmas tree. All things must pass, and soon the dreary dark nights of winter will give way to spring’s outdoor drum circles and angry marches on the mall. So anyway, here’s what’s going on in Clarendon, Courthouse and Rosslyn this end of week: THURSDAY Terry Adams is playing at IOTA. Do your homework and you’ll find out that Adams was the keyboardist of legendary 60s Jazz Rock band NRBQ. The band was known, according to Wikipedia for their zany on-stage antics such as exploding cabbage patch dolls. According to other wiki sources “He …

Every once in a while we'll be looking at public artwork and gauging reaction on the street
This week we're looking at Liquid Pixels, by Ned Kahn. It's a piece of public art that's attached to the side of a federal building on the southeast corner of 19th and Lynn in Rosslyn. These are not professional art critics, just people walking through Rosslyn with opinions.
