“Here in our Newcomers and Community Guide, we’ve included an updated version of our award-winning Insider’s Guide to the Parks, plus details of how to vote in the upcoming elections, information on local government, nonprofits and business organizations, plus tips and tidbits from the community.” – Mary Kimm, Editor & Publisher

The Shooshan Company also receives a mention in A Tour of Arlington’s Future:

“…Robert Duffy, Arlington County planning director, said the development is also bringing in new projects to the area, like a 121,000-square-foot residential development at 750 North Glebe Road. A few blocks away, the Shooshan Company is redeveloping 4040 Wilson Boulevard, formerly home to the Blue Goose, to allow Marymount University to expand. ‘There’s a great deal of redevelopment coming within the Ballston Area,’ said Duffy. The mall redevelopment is expected to take place throughout 2017 to be opened in 2018…” – Vernon Miles, Reporter
