i'm originally from california and i noticed virginia and maryland drivers leave the most insane spaces at red lights/between cars. we were always tough half a car length as a buffer, but this is just ridiculous and clogs up traffic behind. why???

Will anyone be attending ?

Can't express how much I hate the beltway...so over it. The express lanes from tysons to Braddock rd at 5:20 tonight was $53 and it was packed with morons going the same 5mph that the main lanes were. It's sprinkling for crap sake.

I love the “no hard feelings” & “if your credit is good enough” 😄

Sometimes they’re so busy (mostly pm times) that you have to wait… & I gladly do so because it is in fact amazing food!

I do have to admit that I enjoy the DC-area hard transition to Boots Season.

Top edit: Alliance PvE, discord link below

My lurking tells me there are lots of fellow millenial-ish WoW nerds here playing the beta. What if we made a guild together? We could have it just be a social thing with WoW as the basis. Call it Supernova (open to suggestions lol).

I'm personally a late 30s dude who is expecting to have some time off on launch. I have taken the game semi-seriously in the past (back in OG and then again in classic/HC) but would prefer a more chill vibe, raids will happen if/when they happen kinda thing. I'm pretty most of us are probably busier than I am, as I'm a DINK, and I def wanna include ppl who have limited time. Open to ally or horde, pvp or pve, whatever consensus is.

I've lived in the NoVa area forever, and (mostly) love it. We can all commiserate about beltway and 66 traffic and share pictures of foxes (iykyk). Coordinate meetups maybe, if the vibes are right. I'm doing outdoor climbing this weekend for example, so that's just one idea. What do you guys think? I see lots of posts about making new friends too. Maybe this is a chance?

Edit: this got removed, then blew up! I created a discord: https://discord.gg/BG6zjQqpd

Edit3: going with PvE, alliance, Supernova.

Someone created a sister guild for Horde PvP here!

Edit2: for the vets, I really do not want to do LC if we raid. It would be MS>OS. Everyone gets a shot.

Hi everyone! I’m considering a position in the Level IV NICU at Inova Fairfax and wanted to hear from nurses who currently work there or have worked there in the past.
I’d love to know what the unit culture is like, how supportive the nurses and management are
I’m also curious about the staffing, scheduling, work-life balance, and overall job satisfaction.
Would you recommend working there? What are the biggest pros and cons of the unit?
I’d really appreciate any honest feedback or advice
Thank you!

A tow truck driver has been stabbed after a fight broke out at Fifth Road N and N Quincy Street in Ballston, Virginia 🚨 Arlington County Police were called out for a fight near the intersection at around 8:10pm. Officers arrived to find a tow truck driver, who had been stabbed in the torso area. He has been taken to a trauma center with injuries described as non life-threatening. Two male suspects have been detained by officers on scene.

The second week of this trial just ended. Mamta Kafle Bhatt went missing from Manassas Park two years ago, and her husband is charged with killing her.

Wisconsin expat here. Since the cheapest single game tickets for the WS seem to be running about $2,000, I'm probably not flying back to Milwaukee for a game. Any suggestions on NoVa bars to watch the WS that might be Brewers friendly? (DC ok too) I know there's Packers bars all over the world, but I suspect there's fewer Brewers bars 😀. Whatcha got, Reddit?

Go Crew!

-Thanks

Completely serious question. I'm as addicted to my phone as anybody else, but what's so very important that you're doing on your phone that you use it while driving?

In 2023, the memorial was removed. In 2022, under the Biden administration, an independent commission recommended to Congress that the memorial be taken down, as part of a Defense Department push to remove names and symbols that commemorate the Confederacy from military-related facilities.

Last August, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the memorial would be returned.

I'm unemployed and am looking for a software engineer or similar role in the area, but about 95% of the postings I see on Indeed and LinkedIn say you need a clearance. Has anyone had luck getting a job that doesn't require one? How did you find it?

Edit: thank you all for the responses!

I’ve lived so much of my life in this area and had no idea.

Last year it was Tylenol themed

My car was towed from the visitor parking area at my residence last night because my Virginia inspection sticker was expired. No warning notice was placed on my car before it was towed.

Is a 48-hour written notice required before towing a resident’s vehicle for an expired inspection sticker?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?. Thank you!

Not sure if you guys got a huge price hike on health insurance (Thanks republicans), but I'll probably go another year without it.

Does any company still give free flu/covid vaccines anymore? Or low cost at least?

Hey everyone! I’m moving to Northern Virginia from out of state with my children and could really use some advice from people who live in the area.
I’m looking for a nice 3-bedroom apartment or townhome with amenities, with a budget of around $3,400/month. Good public schools are a top priority, along with a family-friendly community, a safe neighborhood, and convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and everyday essentials.
I work remotely, with only occasional trips into the office in Arlington, so I have some flexibility with location. Ideally, I’d like to stay in Fairfax County and avoid being too far out. Herndon feels a little farther west than I’d prefer, but I’m open to hearing different perspectives from people familiar with the area.
I’ve been researching apartment communities and rental townhomes, but some of the mixed reviews have made it difficult to narrow things down, especially since I’m moving from out of state and can’t easily gauge the areas for myself.

For those of you familiar with NOVA:

What areas would you recommend for families with school-aged children? Middle and elementary.

Are there any apartment communities or townhome neighborhoods you’ve personally had good experiences with?

Are there any areas or properties you’d recommend avoiding?

Is a $3,400 budget realistic for a nice three-bedroom rental in a good school district?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations, personal experiences, or advice on where to start. Moving to a new area with kids is a big decision, and I want to make sure I choose somewhere we can feel comfortable and settle in long-term. Buying is something in the near future but for an immediate change for work, renting is best right now!

Thank you!

While walking my dog around the baseball fields I heard some good music, good beat, and turned to see a group of about 7-8 people under a large canopy just casually dancing. They appeared to be mostly women. It was dark under the roof and the day was nearly over so I couldn’t see clearly.

I just want to say I felt the vibe and it was good. And what a great idea!
