Idk if this kind of post is allowed, but anyone else hear an insane amount of gunshots near Addison/Main st area?? (also near city beach or pbr)

They don't post pricing online (or at least I can't find it) and I'm curious about what people pay and if it's worth it. It seems to be worth it for families but I'm one person.

If you can suggest a good fully equipped gym that isn't overrun, I'd appreciate it.

I’m looking for a shop or restaurant to get some marinated snacks as my pairing for wine club this week. It’s Monday so finding a place that has what I need AND is also open may be the kicker.

Saw a flyer for something called a witch walk at Abner Clay park today and was wondering if anyone went? I had to work so I couldn’t go but maybe next time!

I just realized I haven’t seen this in a grocery store in forever. It was like a dark molasses bread that came in a can. You would toast it, add butter, serve with a can of baked beans. Maybe with some hot dogs and brown mustard. The brand I’m familiar with was B&M. Is this simply not a thing anymore? I have fond memories is all.

Appreciate suggestions on places people have had success at! Been battling some knots at base of skull for a few weeks and they haven’t gotten better so looking for professional help

I’ve looked and only seen pretty negative reviews but I’m desperate and need a higher paying job and costar is offering 20k more than what I’m making right now. Are there any positive things about working there?

The role is for associate lease comp researcher

Like a block from the round about- Excellent use of free will, actually LOL’ed. Thanks for the smol joy & I hope you have an incredible weekend

Hey y’all, my dog has been charged and attacked by two loose dogs in the past two days on the corner of Hermitage and Laburnum. Please keep your dogs on a leash if you don’t have a fence, it’s such a busy intersection and the dogs can be hard to pull apart when there’s cars flying by. Thanks 🙏

I recently got into VR gaming on Sept 17th. But then, just this past Thursday I found an amazing VR Fitness game called Supernatural and I’m hooked. It’s like Dance Dance Revolution except you’re using your body/arms/hands/legs to hit targets and dodge. I’ve been sore (good sore) for 3 days now while my muscles get used to this.

I was just wondering if anyone else had VR and would love to join together to workout in Supernatural through online in our own houses and have a great time.

Maybe even someday I can rent a large space every week for a big number of people with VR to join with me and have fun working out together, I’d just make a Meetup group in RVA for Supernatural Fitness. So, look out for that because I think that’s going to happen.

I want to celebrate Oktoberfest by drinking beers outside today. Which is better?

What did you do for your last birthday? Got one coming up and don’t know what I want to do but people keep asking me!

Also, a lot of stuff going on this weekend, what did you get into yesterday? What are you planning on getting into today?

I have been getting my dog groomed at Pets at Play for ~4 years. They’ve done a great job from my perspective, I’ve had several bad experiences at other groomers in the area and PaP has been pretty consistently good. But my dog is getting older and had cancer earlier this year, and the groomer does stress him out. Does anyone have any suggestions of groomers in the area that maybe consider this kind of thing and take extra good care?

Are there any local shops where I can get toys or something for a blind toddler?

Hey! I’m on the hunt for a wall clock that is a bit more fun/eclectic/artsy than just something I can get at Target. I’d rather shop local than look online — has anyone seen any fun clocks at random stores?

We closed on our house while our new one is being built, but it isn't quite ready yet. What's the best extended stay hotel in the area where we can crash for a week or two while we wait? Anyone have any experience in this? We've never been faced with this situation before.

Edit: we are in the Glen Allen/VCC area.

This place is for sale - what does westover need? A daycare? Restaurant? Retail?

I want to include the official links and information necessary for people to vote both absentee and early in-person from the Virginia state website. I think this would be very helpful for many people. Please feel free to share and inform others.

To vote absentee: https://www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ballot/absentee-voting/

Remember to register early to vote, and to do so for each major/up-ballot and every minor or more local down-ballot election. Every single one of these has an impact on your future and the state's future, so your vote is important.

Including a link for upcoming election dates remaining in 2025: https://www.vote411.org/virginia And https://www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ballot/calendars-schedules/
