Hubcap Street Art Demolished in Arlington / East Falls Church
Hope you caught the display we reported in March. The I-66 widening project has since wiped it out.

Falls Church Utility Pole Beautification Project
Residents of Dorchester Road, with the cooperation of the Public Works Department, have been making that street a miniature Avenue of the Americas.
All 50 state flags are available, as are all four branches of the US armed services. If you want just a simple US flag, that is also allowable, but the neighbors look down on that as being "insufficient flair."

Risking the neighbors' wrath with just one flag. |
This resident doubles up on American flags. One on the porch; one on the pole. Just to be safe. |
"Welcome to Dorchester Rd., where our utility poles are the most patriotic in the metro area." |
Contact the Falls Church Public Works Department here to get your flag(s).

The Story of the new Easter Seals building on Hillwood Street
Nice to hear what happened behind-the-scenes to get the new Easter Seals facility built.
An excerpt from Todd Ray's article in the 3 July 2014 Falls Church News-Press:
The City of Falls Church had a problem. It was renting surplus space to the Easter Seals Child Development Center of Northern Virginia, a much needed social services program, but its growing public school system was in need of the space.
Ending Easter Seals’ lease meant losing an important community service. As municipalities throughout Northern Virginia become larger and more prosperous, non-profits like Easter Seals are going further afield to find affordable space. The City of Falls Church wanted to keep Easter Seals in its borders. A combination of fast-thinking, altruism, and collaboration allowed Easter Seals to not only stay in the City of Falls Church, but to own a beautiful new facility all its own.
Easter Seals is a non-profit organization providing services for millions of children and adults living with a variety of conditions, from autism to cancer. The Easter Seals Child Development Center (CDC) in Falls Church provides programs for children, with and without disabilities, from six weeks old to five years old. In the area, it is one of a limited number of organizations serving populations with special needs.
For James Snyder, Director of Planning and Development Services for the City of Falls Church, keeping the Easter Seals Center in the City was imperative, but there was no new space to house the program. Snyder had an idea.
Not included in the story are the before and after pictures.
Before: blight.

My guess is -- keeping in mind government contracting rates and all -- this was about $3,000 flushed down those clean rainwater pipes.
