Summer Database of FUN
The economy may be recovering, but local goverment budgets are tight, and outdoor concerts are amongst the first thing to get the axe. Arlington's Luber Run Amphitheater is reportedly under demolition, and the county's previoiusly impressive concert series has been cut to the bone. Fortunately a new trend of neighborhood outdoor films has formed to entertain you this summer, along with the ample free concerts that remain.
