Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married for 12 years. We have done a lot of traveling and other fun things together.He is a kind and good person, but there is one thing that is a recurring problem for me: He frequently “forgets” to take photos of me.I take numerous photos of him, which he seems to enjoy, but he will not take a photo of me unless prompted to do so.We have photos of our travels and exploits, but there is very little evidence that I was also there!We have talked about this, and he says that he no longer likes to take photos because photos are too prevalent on social media.I agree that many people share way too much, and I personally don’t care for the whole selfie obsession. But the fact that he will not reciprocate in taking photos really bothers me.Am I being unreasonable or insecure?– PhotophobicDear Photophobic: Your husband does reciprocate taking photos of you, but he needs to be prompted to do so. So – prompt him.You are simply more oriented toward this sor...

Popular outdoor dining in Arlington shifting from temporary to permanent

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 00:46:18 GMT

Outdoor dining helped save some restaurant businesses during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, when community health regulations prohibited indoor dining. Now, Virginia’s Arlington County is among the D.C.-area jurisdictions moving to make outdoor seating permanent.There are about 100 restaurants in the county with temporary outdoor seating areas, developed during the pandemic — some occupy sidewalk space, others spill into parking lots.Permits for the temporary outdoor spaces will expire Aug. 15, but at an Arlington Committee of 100 meeting on Wednesday evening, the group said the county is committed to helping restaurants smoothly transition from temporary to permanent outdoor dining areas.“We want to create a clear pathway forward for outdoor cafes and current permit holders to transition from the TOSA (temporary outdoor seating area) era into a more permanent outdoor cafe program,” said Brett Wallace of the Arlington County Planning Division.While the tempo...
