  This article was written by Arlington Economic Development.

Projects evolve, priorities shift, and a global pandemic threw everything we know about the office market into flux.
  In some ways, the opening of Metropolitan Park, a 2.1 milli

  21-06-2023 16:30 via arlnow.com
  
  A new Japanese restaurant appears to be opening next to Uncle Julio’s in Ballston.
  Not much is known beyond a permit application that notes there will be “interior alterations” in the space at 4301 Fairfax Drive that will convert it to a “new Japanese restaurant.”

  Depending on which news outlet you were reading yesterday, voters were either flummoxed by the c
