Around Town: Arlington's Fickle Finger

YOU'VE SEEN WALK SIGNS. You've seen Don't Walk signs. But this digital display at the corner of Wilson Boulevard and Nash Street in Arlington makes a much more emphatic point.

This picture was taken on Friday, so it's entirely possible some eagle-eyed public servant has already popped in a couple of extra Lite Brite bulbs to make this Don't Walk hand a little less blunt in its advice. Maybe this is part of a county strategy to cut down on jaywalkers?
