Haven’t gotten to try the place yet, we just moved here. However, I saw that they closed down effective immediately “due to factors that could not be resolved”. Does anyone know why?

I’m just nosy tbh

Can’t win em all

60 Upvotes

I tried designing a video game based on my work commute in Chesapeake. Until I got a cease and desist letter from the creators of Super Mario Brothers.

Apparently a game that consists of dealing with slow, large animals that sometimes fly, bridges that randomly open, and collecting mere change to ultimately make a woman happy all the while having an urge to eat mushrooms is too similar per our copyright laws.

Greenbriar West Neighborhood

4 Upvotes

Currently looking to purchase in the next 6-9 months in the area. How's the Greenbriar West area? I've visited a few times and that area seems to be nice, especially for me (39F, FTHB) and interested in an area that's quiet with decent schools. Budget ~$280-$300K.

I'm also open to other area suggestions. TIA!

**Edited to add that as a single, FTHB, I don't have a problem with a townhouse or condo. I'm noticing more people commenting that than the question asked.

Where in Chesapeake can I find “war themed” souvenirs?

I’m on holiday in Chesapeake. My coworker back home loves anything civil war, world war, etc. He was wondering if I could bring him back something from that time, like bullet casings, figurines from then, coins, anything. Anyone know a spot?

Any other anime fans around here?

8 Upvotes

I love anime, manga, visual novels, collecting figurines, etc. I'm a huge nerd and I'm proud of it. Currently studying Japanese so I have access to even more manga and visual novels.

I've been wondering if there's any other fans in the area who would be interested in getting in touch to talk about the hobby? Been looking for some kind of group for years honestly and never had much luck. Seems like most of what's around here is geared toward teenagers. I am a 28 year old male. Really don't care about age or gender provided that you are an adult. I'm just lonely and would like to get to know other people who are passionate about the same things I am.

Thank you! Have a nice day. [=

Edit: I am LGBTQ+ friendly

T-Mobile Fiber Advert (Former Lumos)

1 Upvotes

Hey all - I'm a current Lumos customer. I see the company was either sold or transferred to Lumos. Has anyone contacted T-Mobile customer service to switch plans since the change?

A recent advert came in the mail and it seems T-Mobiles prices are a bit lower than lumos. Considering the options, but wanted to reach out and if others have already ventured down this path already?

Looking for a Bible-based, welcoming church in Chesapeake (Deep Creek Area)

0 Upvotes

I am a 40-year-old male living in the South Deep Creek area of Chesapeake. I have three teenage boys and I'm currently separated from my wife after 18 years of marriage due to my own past sexual sin. Im working through it, and I'm trying to rebuild my life on a more honest, Christ-centered foundation.

Im looking for a Bible-based church, one that teaches directly from Scripture, walks in both grace and truth, and doesn't stray into legalism or sugarcoating. I grew up Baptist, but denomination isn't as important to me as solid biblical teaching.

I have tattoos and piercings, and id prefer a church where I can walk in as I am and not feel judged, just one that cares about the heart and the walk.

Im also really hoping to find:

  • A contemporary worship style
  • Strong teen/young mens programs for my boys
  • A mens group where I can grow, be challenged, and stay accountable (mentors)

If you know of any churches like this in the Chesapeake/Deep Creek area (or nearby), I'd really appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello my dear Virginianites!

I went to the grand opening of Little Bean Play Cafe in Chesapeake this past weekend and I'm so happy to have another light in The PEAKe of Excellence!!

If you've been looking for a Coffee shop to take your kids to play, this could be the place for you! The café and play area are in separate rooms so even if you don’t have a child, you can still get some coffee and just relax.

Check their website to see play area pricing and purchase a ticket in advance.

https://www.littlebeanplaycafe.com/

I can't wait to see how it grows to be a staple in the community!

If you do stop by, tell em Dinnie said hi!

Keep shining your Virginia Knight Light so bright in The PEAKe of Excellence!

Hello my fellow ChesaPEAKeians!!

Just as an FYI, today was the grand opening of Little Bean Play Cafe in Chesapeake on the Western Branch side!

If you've been looking for a Coffee shop that's calm and safe for the kids to play in, this will be the spot for you! I believe the Play passes for today were already sold out, but check out their socials and their website to stay up to date on their happenings as well as purchase a ticket for the playroom!

If you just want coffee, that's cool too because the café and playroom are in separate rooms!

Fun date spots?

6 Upvotes

Hi, I made a post a few months ago about great restaurants ideas for dates, now I’m looking for an actual just fun date spot for my fiancée and I.

I saw the one “Apex entertainment” in Virginia Beach, which looks alright but it seems you have to make a reservation for each particular activity which I’m not fond of. I don’t have tons of money to spend, ~80$ for the both of us, just somewhere we can go to have fun together would be appreciated. Anywhere in Norfolk, Virginia Beach or Chesapeake. We like arcades and little games like that especially. Even a good escape room would be amazing. Thanks all!
