Icons of Arlington: Spy Pond
I’ve been writing about a lot of bodies of water lately. Here’s my Icons of Arlington on Spy Pond.
Icons of Arlington: Menotomy Indian Hunter
New Icons of Arlington post. I wrote about the statue called Menotomy Indian Hunter, but mostly about the colonial history of our town.
Icons of Arlington: Fido Fest
A warm summer night on Spy Pond Field. A pink sunset. Popcorn. Bubbles. Lots and lots of dogs. And lots and lots of dog videos on the big screen. It can only be Fido Fest. I unintentionally took a month off from Icons of Arlington, but now I’m back, with many dog pictures. People like…
Icons of Arlington: Independence Day Fireworks

Icons of Arlington: Minuteman Bikeway

Icons of Arlington: Little Fox Shop
11 years ago, two women opened a nonprofit resale shop in the Fox branch of the Arlington Library. After an unexpected closure last summer, they re-opened it last week. Read about what happened in my latest post on Icons of Arlington.
