Today’s article marks a special milestone — TEN years of ‘Ask Eli’, every Tuesday on ARLnow.

In the November spirit of reflection and gratitude, I’d like to celebrate ten years of Ask Eli with you and give ten $50 gift certificates to an Arlington business from my list of favorite Arlington establishments.

I’m asking readers to nominate somebody in the Arlington community who they are grateful for (teacher, neighbor, sibling, friend, etc) and feel is deserving of a special treat this holiday season. Nominate somebody using this form and I’ll be in touch with the winners by next week.

Through the years we’ve discovered ARLnow readers’ favorite Thanksgiving pie (44% Pumpkin), what time the Thanksgiving meal should start (76% before 5PM), and donated thousands to your favorite charities. Your comments keep me honest and informed and show me that I’m not shouting into the darkness, thank you.

Over that time, I’ve grown from a solo agent to leading the Eli Residential Group, a team of six that I love working with every day, with nearly 1,000 transactions under our belt, and 360+ transactions right here in Arlington.

I’m deeply grateful for this platform, ARLnow readers, and for the Arlington community that I call home.

Thank you for celebrating ten years with me! Here’s to ten more!
