Thank you and coming up at 4 00 special honor for several local cities including arlington is one of the most Livable Cities in the u. S. I just had the feeling come over me that i need to go home and check on my husband. Leon big honor for arlington and this region. Aarp has named arlington has one of the most Livable Cities as well as the best cities for staying healthy. Alison thats right and d. C. And some maryland cities made the list. Joining us now, bob loncato, volunteer state president for aarp virginia. Nice to have you here. Thank you, alison, leon. Alison tell us first of all, some of the factors that you determined these list and winners. Let me start by saying im a 30year resident of arlington and very proud to know that we got this award. I have a daughter that we want to the Public Schools in arlington. So its about what you have in your housing stock. Its about how safe your streets are. Its about how the exercise capacities you have in a given community. We have some of the best recreational facilities in the area. We have half the number of traffic fatalities in arlington and other places, too. And so its about how you build a community for all ages but recognize that your communities are getting older. And its a real combination of all different things. Leon what strikes me though transportation seems to be a big factor in how people decide which the best place is to live. Its always tough to get around. It depends on how you go about having options for transportation. You have vans and you have bicycles. We have a very heavy bicycle presence in arlington thats been increasing over the years. And as long as you have options that people could take advantage of the transportation, thats really an important factor. You cant fight congestion in every place. If people have options and use transportation and go where they need to go its an important factor. Alison were celebrating arlington in particular. There were other local cities mentioned here. There were. A lot down in south and d. C. Got recognition as well. Blacksburg got some recognition but i like ours better. We got two recognitions. Livable and healthy. Alison and were also talking about for everyone. I think we hear aarp and assume were saying for people over 50 but youre saying for everyone who lives there, this makes it a really livable place. It is. Focused on the 50 plus and in then all generations benefit when its a good community. The saying is you can live anywhere. That does not make it a livable community. Its what you do as a community to make it livable that works. And arlington as the arlington way and has that way for years and were very beneficial about it. Leon not going to get many arguments around here. Nice to have you here today. Have a good weekend. Fargo, north dakota show up on a couple of those. I want to know who voted in that. All right, still ahead here at 4 00 dealing with spring storm season and potential damage to your home from the weather. 7 on your side to determine when to call your insurance company. Sam a d. C.
