By Prince Of Petworth

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.”

By Tiffany Lavinder

Local rising kindergartener, Phin, has advanced to the Top 5 in his group in the national Jr. Ranger Contest, a competition that celebrates children who are passionate about nature, wildlife, and exploration. After making it through earlier rounds with strong family and friend support, Phin is now in 4th place and working toward the top spot needed to move on to the quarterfinals.

The contest encourages kids to engage with the outdoors and highlights their curiosity and love for learning about the natural world. For Phin and his family, this experience has been both exciting and meaningful, made even more special by the encouragement from friends, neighbors, and the broader community.

DC Streetcar Reportedly Shutting Down Sooner Than Expected

By Prince Of Petworth

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…)
