Update from Corey Holman: “Fear not, the new location isn’t far. Per various public documents, they’ll be moving to the old Pret space 7 doors down at 301 Pennsylvania Ave SE.” (more…)

The start of street sweeping and finding proper parking spaces. Alas on March 15th 2020, almost a year ago, street sweeping was suspended for the public health emergency. DPW confirmed street sweeping would remain suspended during phase two of the public health emergency. As we are still in phase two it seems there is still no need to move those cars. Will update should DPW/the Mayor’s office change that directive.

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing.
Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services.
