Morning Notes for November 6, 2024
Fake Arlington Dems Sample Ballot — "Men claiming to be volunteers for Republican 8th District candidate Jerry Torres distributed fake sample ballots with the Arlington County Democratic Committee logo at at least one Alexandria polling location today. The sample ballots — distributed outside of John Adams Elementary School — have all Democratic candidates marked except for Torres." [ ALXnow ]
Local Holiday Races — "'Tis the season for running races. From early November through the end of 2024, you can meet your step goals while honoring veterans, wearing a turkey onesie or laughing all the way. Options run the gamut—ahem—from 5K flat courses to half-marathons on, well, still pretty flat courses." [ Arlington Magazine ]
La Coop Opens New D.C. Cafe — After La Coop Coffee closed in D.C. in February, its only brick-and-mortar location was here in Arlington Forest . The café's shuttered D.C. location has since moved to 500 Kennedy Street NW and opened for business last week. [ PoPville ]
F.C. Road Name Change — "The Falls Church City Council is expected to approve a resolution on Nov. 12 to designate the section of Wilson Boulevard in front of the Eden Center as 'Saigon Boulevard.' The name will apply to 6600 to 6700 Wilson Boulevard within the City of Falls Church. It will be an honorary name, not recognized by the U.S. Postal Service." [ Annandale Today ]
Rainless Record Likely — "D.C.'s rainless streak — nearing five weeks — will tie a record Tuesday. The day is set to mark the 34th day in a row without measurable rain in Washington, equal to the previous longest streak set in 2007. Weather records in Washington date to 1872. The record is poised to be broken Wednesday, assuming there's not a stray rain shower, which is just a slight possibility." [ Capital Weather Gang ]
