• Alexandria jazz singer Pat McArtor celebrates 100th birthday with packed audience at St. Elmo's (alxnow.com) — A beloved Alexandria jazz singer just marked her 100th birthday by headlining her usual Thursday night gig at St. Elmo's Coffee Pub in Del Ray. Neighbors packed the Mount Vernon Avenue spot to hear Pat McArtor sing jazz standards, as family, friends and the café's owner celebrated her energy, long local roots and plans for future birthday shows.
• Artist Patrick Kirwin starts his biggest mural yet in Alexandria (alxnow.com) — A familiar artistic touch around Del Ray is expanding, as muralist Patrick Kirwin starts his largest project yet behind The Birchmere while his well-known Dogs of Del Ray and pet portraits continue brightening Mount Vernon Avenue.
