How long did you have to wait in line?
Ok...I'm posting this early so that people can post how long they were in line. I'm assuming that most people have to vote at Walter Reed Community Center. So...let your neighbors know if they are going to be getting to vote quickly or whether they should be bring a book/and or an iPOD.
TWO Elections! Nationwide and Arlington Village
Hopefully everyone will vote tomorrow....however MARK your calendars for the candidate's night on Wednesday, November 5th!!!
That's right...it is NOT over. The next big race after tomorrow's Presidential will be for the Arlington Village Board of Director's on the 19th.
I have to admit I've never seen a flyer for someone running for the Board but I did get one the other day from 4 residents that are running as one ticket! Did anyone else get the flyer for Brandie Davis, Jodie Moxley, Craig Freer and Ryan Walker? I also saw it in my laundry room.
Sounds like our election for the AV Board might be warming up! Let us know if you want to give a shout out to who you want to see on the AV Board!

AV Enviro Resources Committee...WOW are they dedicated!
I went to take out the trash this morning and what did I see in the announcement box...another invasives day in the ravine. Isn't this like the 4th one in two months???
I think the committee is doing really well and getting a lot of support from the community. (BTW: The committee is only about a year old)
I'm excited that my neighbors are so committed to making the ravine a more natural habitat and making Arlington Village look so great. I might even make it to one of the "plant pulling fiestas" if they make the wake-up time a bit later.
Keep up the good work!

Update: Status of Giant and Pharmacy
From the Columbia Pike Revitalization e-Newsletter
"A major milestone in the Penrose Square development project was reached with the recent signing of a long-term lease agreement between Carbon Thompson Development and Giant Grocery. The developer is hopeful that the project's financing package will be finalized in November.
Giant’s interim plan continues to include provision of pharmacy services at 2408 Columbia Pike, the vacant storefront next to Rappahannock Coffee; the details regarding interim grocery services through free round-trip shuttle service from the interim pharmacy to another Giant location are still being sorted out. Once the developer’s financing package and the interim service plan are approved, Giant Grocery will be given a 60-day notice to cease operations.
However, a provision in the lease agreement allows Giant the option of staying open through the 2008 holiday season, regardless of the specific date the notice to vacate is issued. The overall construction period from beginning of demolition to delivery is 28 months.
Site construction plans were presented at a public meeting at Walter Reed Community Center on October 7th, including plans to close the sidewalk along the southside of 9th street during the construction period. Look for regular updates in upcoming CPRO e-newsletters on the implementation status of various elements of the construction that affect pedestrians, commuters, nearby residents and businesses.
