CMX CinéBistro has now taken its Tysons Galleria premiere off the release calendar. Initially set to launch in September, the dine-in movie theater later announced that its grand opening
would be delayed to Oct. 14. However, CMX Cinemas now says that timing won’t work either, and no new date has been established. “They are facing supply chain issues that are delaying some of the finishing touches,” a public relations representative for the company said. “We are confident that the theatre will be ready to open in the coming weeks.” Started in
2017 in Florida, CMX has 33 locations with 358 screens across the U.S., including traditional theaters and ones provide “grab-and-go” service, according to the company’s website. The Tysons Galleria theater is 43,268 square feet in size with over 800 seats across eight screening rooms. It will double as a restaurant, providing full food and drink service to moviegoers with films that start after 8 p.m. limited to
patrons 21 and older. Read the comments… Dogs will be the ones dressing up for spooky season at The Boro this year. The Tysons neighborhood will host a “Best in Show” dog costume contest on Saturday, Oct. 29 to celebrate Halloween. Registration for the free
event is now open and required for all participants in the dog show, which will be accompanied by a Bone Bar with pet treats. The booth previously made an appearance at the “Yappy Hour” Pride Month fundraiser in June. Scheduled to run from 3-8:30 p.m., The Boro’s Halloween festivities will also offer trick-or-treating, an outdoor screening of
the live-action “Scooby-Doo” at 6:30 p.m., and other activities for human attendees, per a media alert: Don’t have a dog of your own? Guests are invited to watch Best in Show at The Boro and enjoy a live DJ, crafting stations, trick-or-treating, face painting and glitter tattoos. There will also be plenty of Instagrammable moments with light-up marquee letters spelling “BOO!” And once the sun goes down, everyone is invited to head to The Sandlot for Scooby-Doo (2002) under the
stars. Other happenings at The Boro this month include a free exercise boot camp this Saturday (Oct. 8), yoga on Oct. 12 and 19, Sandlot Cars and Coffee on Oct. 16, and an American Red Cross
blood drive on Oct. 26. For those more interested in retail updates at the development, Metropolitan Hospitality Group told FFXnow in August that it hoped to open El Bebe and Circa in October. MHG and The Boro didn’t immediately respond to a follow-up about
whether the restaurants could still open this month. Read the comments… Special Education Disparities Persist in FCPS —

[Weather.gov] Read the comments As early voting for the Congressional midterms continues, Democrats in Virginia’s 35th House District have a critical state race competing
for their attention. After longtime delegate Mark Keam resigned in early September, the Fairfax County Democratic Committee will hold a caucus on Saturday (Oct. 8) to select the its nominee for the vacated seat, which represents Tysons, Vienna, Dunn
Loring and Oakton. Competing for the nomination are Providence District School Board Representative Karl Frisch and Holly Seibold, founder and president of the nonprofit BRAWS. Though the special election won’t be until Jan. 10, no
Republicans have entered the race yet, and the district has gone blue in every election since 2003, suggesting that whoever wins this Saturday will be the new delegate. The Democratic caucus will be unassembled, meaning voters can cast their ballot and leave. It will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at three different locations: Early voting will also be available at the FCDC headquarters at 8500 Executive Park Avenue, Suite 402, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) and from 5-8 p.m. on Thursday (Oct. 6). All voters must fill out a certification form and sign a statement saying they’re “a registered voter, a Democrat, and that they do not intend to support a candidate opposed to the Democratic nominee in the next ensuing election,”
according to the caucus rules. Whoever wins the special election will serve the remainder of Keam’s term, which concludes in January 2024. The candidates: Karl Frisch Elected to the Fairfax County School Board in 2019,
Frisch previously worked as executive director of the consumer watchdog organization Allied Progress, a senior fellow for the nonprofit Media Matters for America, and a Democratic staffer on the House of Representatives’ Committee on Rules. The first openly gay person on the county’s school board, Frisch’s tenure
has included the approval of new protections for transgender and gender-expansive students — a regulation currently being threatened by the state — and the naming of
Mosaic Elementary School, previously known as Mosby Woods. Despite facing “bigoted and homophobic attacks” since being elected, Frisch says he remains committed to fighting for progressive causes, such as public education, LGBTQ equality, gun violence prevention, and reproductive rights and abortion access. If elected to the General
Assembly, he says he would work with other lawmakers to “protect reproductive freedom in Virginia’s constitution.” On a more local level, Frisch cites traffic safety as a concern, particularly in light of the crash that killed two Oakton High School students this summer. “Fairfax County and Town of Vienna residents do not get enough tax dollars back
from Richmond for road maintenance and traffic mitigation efforts,” he told FFXnow. “We need to fix funding formulas that disadvantage the Town of Vienna and Fairfax County and ensure the Virginia Department of Transportation is responsive to local concerns — whether pedestrian and driver safety along the Blake Lane corridor or traffic along Maple Avenue.” The candidates: Holly Seibold A Vienna resident since 2012, Seibold founded BRAWS in 2015 to help provide
menstrual supplies and undergarments to those in need. Since then, the nonprofit has distributed over 4 million pads, tampons, bras and underwear to over 60,000 individuals, according to its website. Seibold has also worked as a teacher in Fairfax County Public Schools and owned an education consulting firm, according to her campaign bio. When announcing her campaign for delegate on Sept. 6, Seibold cited the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the subsequent erosion of reproductive rights in many states as a key motivation. With BRAWS, she says she gained “extensive experience” advocating for legislative changes related to menstrual equity, including Keam’s bill requiring schools to have tampons and pads available to all students at no cost and the elimination of Virginia’s sales tax on tampons. If elected, Seibold says her priorities would include fully funding schools, addressing learning loss and ensuring students can learn free from gun violence, addressing climate change, protecting abortion rights, and expanding “economic resources to women and children in crisis.” She also mentioned creating safer, more walkable communities as a priority, recalling a recent talk with residents of Blake Lane. “One resident brought up a recent accident on the street and another resident remarked, ‘Which one?’” she said. “The safety of our families is of the utmost importance to me. We all deserve to live in safe, walkable, family-oriented communities without fear of getting hit by a car.” Read the comments…

 The preceding sponsored post was also published on FFXnow.com Recent violent
incidents around Vienna included a confrontation between a man and two others leaving his apartment and a battle between a local resident and an Amazon delivery truck. The weekly Vienna Police Highlights offers a look at the calls for police around town, including notes on arrests and other incidents. One of the more serious incidents this week involved a resident reportedly being assaulted in the
200 block of Cedar Lane on Thursday, Sept. 22, after confronting two men leaving his apartment. “A resident reported parking his vehicle in the parking lot when he observed two men leaving his apartment,” the report said. “When he asked the men why they were in his apartment, they assaulted him and left the area in a vehicle.” The wounds were treated on-site, and the report said it was later determined the two men leaving the apartment were acquaintances of a woman renting a room
from the resident. After obtaining a warrant charging assault and battery, a 23-year-old Vienna man was arrested and is being held on a $1,000 bond. Another altercation occurred at 100 E Street SE when a resident attacked an Amazon delivery van. According to the report, the incident took place on Sunday, Sept. 25, around 10 a.m:

[Weather.gov] Read the comments The general public’s last chance to weigh in on Fairfax County’s ongoing study of the bicycle and pedestrian network in the West Falls Church Metro station area will come later than anticipated. Two community meetings that had been scheduled for
next week will instead be held on Oct. 26 and 27, the Fairfax County Department of Transportation announced yesterday (Thursday). A
virtual
meeting has been set for 7:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26, and county staff will also host an in-person meeting in Longfellow Middle School’s cafeteria at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 27. “The team felt like we had not given the amount of notice we had planned that we would ensure the most participation by residents and stakeholders in the community,” FCDOT told FFXnow. “This is the final round of community input and attendees will hear about the survey results on active transportation
alternatives.” Launched last December, the West Falls Church Active Transportation Study is intended to identify needed safety improvements and gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure within a 2-mile radius around the Metro station (7040 Haycock Road). After
paving the way for over 1 million square feet of new development, the county hopes the study will result in projects that can mitigate traffic and safety concerns raised by residents, some of whom have argued that the area
can’t support the anticipated growth. Replacing parking lots with housing, office, and retail construction, the proposed West Falls Church Metro redevelopment will include a new grid of streets that EYA — one of three developers involved in the project — has said should help alleviate pressure on the existing local streets. However, that won’t address the missing sidewalks and lack of safe street crossings that community members highlighted during an initial round of public engagement on the transportation study in February. The feedback will be used by county staff and a 13-person advisory group to develop recommendations for the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on the future of non-motorized transportation in the area. Adjacent to the Metro station redevelopment site, construction is underway on the West Falls project in neighboring Falls Church City, and plans were submitted last week for a major buildout of Virginia Tech’s Northern Virginia Center campus.
