Lost Stuffed Bunny Still Searching for Home, With Some Help from County Officials

by Melanie Pincus
ereed

Aw damn.

Arlington officials remain on the hunt for the owner of a plush bunny left behind at the Taste of Arlington two weeks ago — and they’ve turned to social media to spread the word.

The county’s Department of Environmental Services asked its nearly 4,000 Twitter followers to help locate the stuffed animal’s rightful owner on May 21 after finding it amidst compost, recycling and trash, but the floppy-eared toy remained unclaimed as of this morning (Friday).

With its future in limbo, the bunny continues to be determined and optimistic, at least according to a photo narration provided by DES.

On May 24, the bunny embarked on a search at the county’s GIS Mapping Center, donning, of course, required safety equipment. Since then, the bunny has explored Arlington’s transportation center, taken a ride on a street sweeping vehicle and shown its support for the Washington Capitals.

The lost toy has garnered support from community members and the Northern Virginia district of the Virginia Department of Transportation. One Fredericksburg resident with the Twitter handle @NickZ even designed a “missing bunny” poster to advance search efforts.

As it tells the bunny’s story, DES has also publicized county services such as street sweeping and free paper shredding.

Although the bunny has yet to find its home, DES is not ready to give up. Just this morning, the Solid Waste Bureau’s Earth Products Yard hosted the toy on its latest clue-searching expedition before taking a break at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.

“The bunny sadly remains unclaimed,” DES spokeswoman Katie O’Brien told ARLnow. It did, however, spend some time searching for clues at the Earth Products Yard while “taking special caution to avoid the shredder.”

Rethink Energy: What the 30% Solar Tariff Means for Arlingtonians

by ARLnow.com Sponsor
ereed

Solar tariff? SOLAR TARIFF? I cannot even right now. Spitting mad. 2020 cannot get here fast enough.

Solar has been booming in Arlington.

Through Arlington Solar Co-ops, Arlingtonians have more than doubled the amount of solar on homes in just 2 years. The co-op helps residents buy solar panels in bulk to drive down the cost by as much as 20%.

This month the federal government announced a 30% tariff on solar equipment manufactured outside of the U.S. But what does this really mean for Arlingtonians who want to go solar?

The short answer is that the 30% tariff will add approximately 10-15 cents per watt, or about 6% to a system’s total cost. This is because solar panels are only a portion of the cost of going solar.

The tariff does not apply to the “soft costs” associated with going solar. The increased cost of panels would add about $1,050 to the total cost of an average solar installation. If you apply for the 30% federal solar tax credit available to residents, the additional tariff amounts to approximately $735 per home system.

We will launch another solar co-op this spring to support residents who want to lead on going solar, take their energy future into their own hands and help create a more sustainable Arlington.

If you would like to receive information about the co-op when it opens, please email energy@arlingtonva.us.

Ignoramus watch: Designers really want you to decorate your room by shelving your books backwards

You really don't need to read this cause obviously it's stupid, but the one good line was "HULK SMASH, THEN RESHELVE. "

What's more revolting than buying color-matched books by the yard to class up your room like you were some kind of Trumpish dumbass who wants people to think you read but never actually read anything? (more…)

40 common tourist scams to look out for

by Mark Frauenfelder
ereed

Some of these are creative! I always hide valuables in luggage and then lock it (not the safe where most employees can get in). It's pretty obvious if someone has outright taken a large suitcase or cut your lock. I also stack crap on it in a particular way to have a quick visual of a curious guest.

Also, when on a train with large cases have someone ALWAYS watching them. Jay and I took turns sleeping when our luggage was not next to us. Sigh. People can SUCK!

Here's an infographic with 40 scams you should be aware of when you travel. Grifting creeps have tried pulling scams like this on me on various trips but luckily they weren't good enough at their trade to stop me from figuring out what was happening before I lost any money.

The Broken Camera

Someone will ask you to take a photo of them and their group of friends. The camera won’t work, and when you go to hand it back, they will drop it can cause it to smash. The entire group will then demand money for repairs, or pickpocket you during the commotion.

The Fake Takeaway Menu

Scam artists will slide fake takeaway menus under your hotel door, in the hope that you order from them on an evening where you don’t feel like going out. You won’t receive any food though, just a frightening bank statement after they have used your card details to make their own copy.

The Getaway Taxi Driver

When you arrive at your hotel from the airport, the taxi driver will kindly take your bags out of the trunk for you. He’ll seem in a rush though, and quickly hop back into his car and drive off as soon as possible. This is because he’s actually left one of your smaller and less memorable bags in his taxi.

I have heard employees stories about going in the back, staring at a wall for awhile and saying they don't have any more. I guess in store pick up is going to kill that move. FWIW, in retail, I never did that. I honestly looked.

Restaurateur Mike Isabella’s Second Kapnos Taverna Arrives September 25, Plus More Intel

by Warren Rojas

Do breakfast and Natty Boh during the Ravens-Jags game

Empire builder Mike Isabella is going to college. Well, Kapnos Taverna is, anyway. The modified Greek eatery he first installed in Arlington a few years back is scheduled to begin serving dinner in College Park, Maryland, on Monday, September 25. The latest outpost, tucked into the new Hotel at the University of Maryland (7777 Baltimore Avenue), features seating for 143, the roasted meats and mezze customers have come to expect from chef George Pagonis, plus the new saison Isabella created with 3 Stars Brewing Company. Next up: Putting the finishing touches on mega food hall Isabella Eatery.

Game On

Those eagerly awaiting the kick-off of the Baltimore Ravens-Jacksonville Jaguars contest across the pond can find cold beer and camaraderie in Adams Morgan. Ventnor Sports Cafe is planning to open at 9 a.m., Sunday, September 24, to show the game taking place in London. Expect a full breakfast menu and Natty Boh specials.

Anniversaries

Dupont Circle standby Firefly is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a trio of meal deals. Throughout October customers can score a two-course lunch for $15; a boozy brunch (one entree and choice of bloody mary or mimosa included) for $20.02; or a discounted Sunday dinner (all entrees priced at $20.02).

Expansions

Burgeoning local chain Silver Diner has signed a lease to open a new location in Ballston circa 2020. The local sourcing-obsessed eatery already operates another all-day breakfast spot less than two miles away in Clarendon.
