Rats! … And Other Top November Stories from Arlington Patch

Depending on how broadly you apply the term "varmint," you could say November was full of them.

Among the top stories on Arlington Patch for the month was a report of a Madison Manor resident finding a rat in the toilet. A pair of Good Samaritans scared off a couple of ne'er-do-wells in Lyon Park following an attack. And police believe a man in a coat continued to terrorize a Virginia Square woman by exposing himself.

But not all November news had the ick-factor. The month saw the end of a long campaign for Virginia's next governor. It also marked the 50th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy, who was honored by a long list of dignitaries at Arlington National Cemetery.
