Thinking of this news, I just added mentions of "Amazon HQ2" to the "Arlington VA" feed keywords. This will also work for the hashtag #AmazonHQ2.

Although it seems most of the times the keywords are picked up is from our neighbors to the south planning to conquer territory 😜

Friends, it's time to start laying the groundwork to annex Fairlington and Shirlington as soon as it's legal on July 1, 2032.

FYI we also now plan to annex the Water Park in Crystal City but we don’t want any of the rest of it, so it will be governed and operated as an exclave.

A board member present revealed they have a running joke about annexing Falls Church We should form an Alliance of Independent Cities and strike while Arlington’s distracted

Will you agree to fix the screeching of the rails behind the water park? Because otherwise I don’t know why you’d even want it.

Fair. (We want it for the tax receipts.)

The taxes and to take pretty pictures at, amirite?

Someone fill me in on the taxes thing

There's precedent for this with Disney and the town of Celebration

If the Russo-Ukrainian war teaches us anything it’s that annexing a place you don’t even have good transport links to is a terrible idea

Honestly I think we might have better transit links to Shirlington than y’all do. We’re even building a busway to it!

sadly true

We absolutely suck in terms of circumferential transit links. Need a Glebe Road streetcar or at least a goddamn bus lane

Heck yes. One of my long-term dreams for #ArlingtonVA is a streetcar not only for Columbia Pike, but also all along Glebe from Marymount University north of Langston Blvd all the way down to S Glebe and the National Gateway buildings.

Another loss from the failed arena. Not that we can’t get a bus lane on Glebe without it, but it sure would have greased those wheels.

"Alexandria North"

Is there a way to get it to pick up arlnow links?

(or does it already do that? I just joined the feed)

Yes, it already does! Any link or mention of these websites will be picked up from across Bluesky, not just from local Arlingtonians... any other local websites I should add? arlingtonva.us apsva.us arlingtontransit.com arlnow.com gazetteleader.com/arlington patch.com/virginia/arlington-va

We saw this a lot with the recent bear death & dumping story, which made some rounds across Bluesky outside of the locals. The feed picked the mentions up.

Great! Do you live in Arlington, Nick?

Yes, i do

Awesome, I'll add you to the feed! It includes original posts, pictures, and some replies by local Arlingtonians to help neighbors get to know each other. You can use it to see what other locals are doing and talking about in addition to local news.
