Here’s how bad things are in Arlington – the Circuit City at Moray Lane & Columbia Pike (near Leesburg Pike) went out of business but there’s still a stop sign in its parking lot. Even though the lot is almost always mostly empty now, only the small sporting goods store in the lot’s corner remains in business, late last month I saw an Arlington cop sitting in the lot with his lights on. His lights were pointed right at the stop sign, waiting for someone to run it, or at least creep through it fast enough for him to make a case of it. This was around 8pm, well after sunset, so you couldn’t see the rack on top of his car. I thought it was odd that a car would just be sitting there with its lights on, pointed at the sign, in front of an out-of-business store. Good thing I stopped. Anybody else seen this? I went through the previous entries for Arlington and didn’t see this one so wanted to post it. This might be a new gig for the Arlington cops since the Circuit City closed last year. Monitoring a now-pointless stop sign in the middle of an empty parking lot, lame isn’t it? Don’t get victimized, Arlington cops and courts are merciless.
