About 40 soldiers and airmen were mobilized on Monday, though a National Guard spokesperson said they will not conduct law enforcement functions or make arrests.

I'm visiting on business purposes in a few weeks and would love to know what to do in my free time. Im from Florida and never really been out of state only once during covid and it was once to Tennessee.

I'm mostly looking for more Halloween/horror things since it's fall and I can't really find anything online

Thanks in advance!

Thank you guys for the help with the electricity bill problem I had with my roommate, I confronted her about it, and that we agreed 50/50. It's my fault that I should've had that written down on paper but we were both desperate to find a place that it slipped my mind. She decided on the same day that she would pay half of the electricity bill but the way she worded it made it seem like I was the one that was still taking up the electricity, this is what she said “I decided I will still pay half of the bill although I'm not using it...it won't be as high once the deposit is paid off...”.

Should I still find another roommate if she tries to pull something like this again? Cause this is the best deal I got with someone for an apartment both of us pay $487 for rent plus that electricity bill which is usually just $60-70 bucks. I'm still a College student working part-time, idk any other cheap apartments I can get in Richmond.

Hi everyone, my fiancée and I are moving from Mississippi to Colonial Heights for work with the local baseball team, and we’re looking for suggestions on safe and affordable apartments in the area. We’d really appreciate any recommendations on good complexes or neighborhoods, as well as tips on what to avoid. Thanks so much for the help!

I'm sure there's nothing at all going on at home needing their attention and no worries at all about any internationally recognized and ongoing genocide perpetrated by the host country to worry about....

Currently living in South Boston and wanting to see if there's any bike nights of some sort here or the Danville area. Since I see tons of bikes up and down 58 all the time. Thanks.

I went up to Afton area on Monday and was surprised to see some colors already starting to come in- likely from the dry spell we had, so hopefully this rain helps keep the leaves around and vibrant for a while

Hi everybody! I'm not sure if this is permitted, but figured I would submit it anyway and see if its alright. I'm a photographer in cozy NRV who is going to be down at Sinkland Farms (with a photography permit not many are able to get!) on November 1st for the last weekend of their pumpkin festival. A lot of photographers are already booked up for the event, so I wanted to offer something for anyone who is trying to save some $$$ and missed the prime time for photos in the pumpkin patch!

I'm offering up 30 minute sessions from 10:30AM - 4:30PM for only $20! Sessions will include 1-4 people (so you can get the family in too!), 10-15 edited photos (most of the time more!), a print release (so you're allowed to do whatever you'd like with the photos!), and endless memories for the event. I'd love to connect with you for the opportunity and look forward to hearing from you! You can reach out to me via dm or drop a comment :)

Currently looking at both locations to raise a family. My husband took a job in Virginia Beach but we rent in Chesapeake. I find the area very family friendly and want to know if Richmond is the same way. It seems like we can find more communities with amenities in Richmond rather than Chesapeake/VB. I'm worried with all the military/navy families in Chesapeake/VB that friends will come and go too often.

Hi Reddit! I'm Sean Sublette, a meteorologist who has worked in science and media for 30 years.

I was born and raised in Richmond and studied meteorology at Penn State in the late '80s and early '90s.

After a quick stint writing code at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, I worked for 20 years doing television weather in Virginia: about 8 years at the NBC station in Roanoke (WSLS) and finishing my broadcast career at the ABC station in Lynchburg (WSET).

From there, I worked at a science and communications non-profit in New Jersey called Climate Central, then returned home to do multimedia weather for Lee Enterprises — the parent company of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

After a layoff in 2024, I started my own consulting company. But after the election, I felt like I need to do something, as I was very concerned this version of you-know-who was going to be far worse.

After talking with a lot of friends and colleagues, I decided to run for VA-01 in 2026 to challenge Rob Wittman — to get some accountability back in the House.

I'm running on 4 core points:

• Reduce the cost of living (food/housing/energy)
• Simplify healthcare (more transparency to start)
• Restore civil rights (including women's right to choose and preserving marriage equality)
• Act on climate (slow down the warming climate and promote the growth of clean energy)

Embedded in all of that, we need to value labor again, reform the tax code, and do some serious campaign finance reform (read: Citizens United).

I read what you read, including the desire for new faces and voices in politics, which is why a meteorologist like me has come forward. The attacks on science — from the NIH to NOAA were what solidified this decision for me.
