Submission ID: 516 Date Submitted: 12/11/2012 7:53:41 PM Status: Closed (12/12/2012 9:32:47 AM) Location (if any): Cavalier Trail Park Tennis Court Details: My wife and I walked to Cavalier Trail Park this evening at 7:00pm to play tennis and the lights were off on the courts. The lights on the basketball court were on. We typically don't get home from work until six. Please ensure the tennis lights are on later. Thanks, James

The on and off control for the tennis court lights is on the post by the gate where you enter the courts. If there is someone waiting to play tennis after you, do not turn the lights off as it will take 25 minutes for the lights to come back on. If someone does not turn off the lights, they will stay on until 10:15 p.m.

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.   

Back then:

Washington Boulevard (at 27th St., N.)

Now:

The reticent artist, who goes by the single name, Flaco, told us, "Art is, by its very nature, fleeting and ephemeral, like life.  They are as one."

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).

Falls Church City Comment Box: #515 (Oldie). Hit and run.

Submission ID: 515 Date Submitted: 12/11/2012 10:34:59 AM Status: Closed (12/11/2012 1:17:32 PM) Location (if any): Details: I was hit by a person driving a white Toyota RAV4 license plate WXX-1620 at 950 this morning near the 495/66 interchange on 495. The driver was a white female who was texting. After she hit the rear of my car I attempted to get her to pull over at 46 to inspect the possible damage and she move to the left lane and left without pulling over. I insspected my car and doesn't appear to have any damage but wanted to ensure you all have the report as she was breaking atleast two laws (Hit and run/Texting while driving.) If you have any questions, please contact me via email or phone in the evenings. Thank you
