📰 News we're reading

1. Almost 4,000 still without power in Arlington after severe '25-year' storm (arlnow.com) — Thousands of Arlington residents are still without power after a powerful overnight storm toppled trees, damaged power lines, and knocked out some traffic signals across the county. County crews are clearing blocked roads and trails while Dominion Energy works toward restoration, and officials urge residents to treat dark signals as four-way stops and report downed trees and outages through proper channels.
   

2. 'Merrily We Roll Along' asks: What if you got everything you ever wanted? (dctheaterarts.org) — Signature Theatre in Arlington is staging a highly praised production of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along," exploring how a successful composer loses his ideals, friendships, and family over 20 years. The review highlights standout performances, inventive reverse-chronology staging, and rich design details, and notes the show runs in the MAX Theatre through November 1 with tickets starting at $47.
   

3. Catholic Faith Endures at Pentagon 25 Years After 9/11 (thegoodnewsroom.org) — At the Pentagon in Arlington, the 9/11 memorial and chapel continue to anchor daily Catholic worship 25 years after the attacks, with benches and etched names honoring 184 victims. Local priests and laypeople from nearby parishes sustain a vibrant Pentagon Catholic Community, offering daily Mass, confession, and quiet spaces for reflection amid lingering physical reminders of that tragic day.
   

4. Pic(k) of the Week: Cask ale in light and shadow (yoursforgoodfermentables.com) — An Arlington restaurant and wine bar called Eventide is remembered for serving a traditional cask-conditioned Heavy Seas ale back in 2010, rather than defaulting to mass-market beers. The writer reflects on the now-closed spot, the virtues of properly handled real ale, and clarifies there's no connection to a newer Eventide brewery in Atlanta.
