Ed. Note: This is the first time I’ve seen one over “War Memorial Arlington”. Does “War Memorial Arlington” refer to the US Marine Corps War Memorial? The Air Force Memorial? Or is that how they are referencing Arlington National Cemetery (most common sight of flyovers) now?
From Alert DC:
“The U.S. Military will conduct an aircraft flyover in the National Capital Region (NCR) over the War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 6:35PM.”
You can see Arlington National Cemetery’s Daily Funeral Schedule here. Their page currently says:
“Due to the lapse in appropriations, Arlington House — including its gift shop and restrooms — and the Air Force Memorial are closed. ANC remains open.”

In the midst of death throes the streetcar saga continues.
In May the Washington Post’s Rachel Weiner broke the big news:
“The DC Streetcar will be phased out after just a little over a decade in service — not much longer than it took to build. In its place Mayor Bowser promises a “next generation streetcar,” otherwise known as an electric bus.“
And now she has an update: “A budget cut means the D.C. Streetcar is shutting down in March instead of July 2027” (more…)
What a roller coaster.
Scroll down here for the road closures.
Update from Army Ten Miler:
“The 41st Annual Army Ten-Miler Race Date will be held on October 12, 2025, at the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. Taking place on an early October Sunday morning, thousands of runners travel from around the world to visit Washington, D.C. to win the top spot in the Army’s Race!”
Reactions were, uh, mixed: (more…)
Thanks to Andrew for sending:
“I just wanted to call out whatever hero put this potted tree in the Shaw Metro station. It almost cancels out how hard the guard troops harsh the vibe in the station.”
hahaha, awesome!
Anyone hear if it’s a go yet?

“Gravelly Point Lot Closed
I asked the cop and he’s like yeah because the federal government is shut down. Even so, it’s still a little weird.”
