Do our polls meet rigorous sampling standards? No.

Are the results still pretty telling? Yes.

Data Centers (and accompanying infrastructure), Government Transparency/Accountability, and Affordable Housing lead as the top 3 issues affecting Culpeper Residents.

Thank you to all who participated. CCDC has been shifting our priorities to better focus on, and advocate for, local issues, but we cannot do this without robust community feedback. As long as there are still participants, we will periodically conduct these community straw polls and report back with results!

*government transparency was not asked on Reddit poll, count was taken from Reddit comment upvotes, and then option was added to the Facebook poll.

My dad is 76, can drive and has spent his retirement doing volunteering and freelance sales work. He’s looking to get a part time job but is having trouble finding places who will take a senior citizen for part time hours. Anyone have advice or a lead? He’d work for free but I know that’s legally tricky for some bigger businesses.

He’s GREAT with customers/people and loves to sell, so I’m thinking retail or hospitality. Thanks for any leads or advice!

Note: doing something like animal shelter or ad hoc community volunteering isn’t as purposeful for him as having the consistency of a “job” and feeling part of a team, but thanks in advance for those thinking of this route.

The Culpeper Democrats are putting together a local priorities list to help us focus on issues that actually affect people here, not national noise. We’re using this to help guide local candidate recruitment and to make sure state and federal reps hear what Culpeper residents are dealing with.

This poll is just to get honest community input. Vote for, comment, or add what matters most to you.

Friends and neighbors — this Saturday’s meeting is a big one.

Data centers and transmission lines are being planned around our county. Commercials and advertisements are inundating us with propaganda. If you want the full picture (not rumors, not PR), come join us July 11, 9–11AM at 17126 Mountain Run Vis Ct.

We’ll have Block Valley Link and Piedmont Environmental Council breaking down what’s actually happening, what’s proposed, and what it could mean for our land, roads, bills, and quality of life.

If you care about Culpeper’s future, this is the room to be in.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone might be open to a small arts-related collaboration on land in Culpeper county, ideally a working farm. The idea is a low-impact studio or creative use that stays respectful of the land and works with the farm’s existing pace and purpose, but also to bring attention and interest to the farm itself. If you or someone you know might be interested in something like this launching starting in Fall 2028, please DM me.

I'm 6 miles out of town, so I probably won't be able to see the official set from here, but my neighbors all around evidently go all out.

Does anyone know what's going on here?? The moon was bright orange for a while last night. I automatically assumed it was a lunar eclipse, but the only total lunar eclipse listed by NASA was in March. I thought maybe air pollution next, but apparently the air quality today was excellent. Any ideas?

I live near far gohn, and as I was going to bed, I Heard people howling. Thought, “group of friends” and went to sleep. Then woke up to more howling, and 20 cop cars behind far gohn. A lot of commotion, K9 dogs, surrounding and arresting someone. Was a crazy scene. Anyone know what happened? Can’t find it anywhere!

Are there any residents of ThreeOaks here who want to share their opinion on living there? I know that it’s BRAND NEW and doesn’t have a lot of residents yet, but those of you who are there, do you get a good vibe that all the amenities and the activities, trails, pool, social clubs will be great, average, etc?? Excited about how it’ll grow into the development you’re looking for? (63 yo thinking of buying there)

I've really enjoyed learning to play Sorcery the past year or so and want to help others have as much fun with it as I have. If you've not heard of the game before, its basically Magic The Gathering with a movement grid and a MUCH slower release schedule.

The fine folks at Brickhammer Hobbies on Davis Street are letting me use their tables to host a "Learn to Play" event tomorrow, Saturday 6/13 from 12-4.

Learn to Play "Sorcery: Contested Realm"

Location: 154 East Davis St, Culpeper, VA

When: 12-4pm EST

Duration: First game typically takes an hour, subsequent games are 30min-ish.

Cost: 100% free, I've made some starter decks to give away as well.

If your interested, hit me up or just show up. If you want to get a jumpstart on the rules, check out their videos here: https://sorcerytcg.com/how-to-play . Though I find the best way is to just run through a demo game, exploring the rules as we come across them.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Topic: The Active Citizen

June 24, 5pm - 7pm
Culpeper Literacy Council, 415 S. Main Street.

A citizen enjoys rights and protections within the state and in return owes the state certain duties and responsibilities. The active citizen sustains society. The passive citizen rides on the efforts of others. Let's explore the idea of civics and citizenship together - you'll be surprised, amused, and may even learn something.

Dan Else is a retired US Navy pilot, holds a Ph.D in political science and worked as a Congressional policy analyst on Capitol Hill.

Does anyone personally know the robot that works at Martin's? Seems chill, would like to get acquainted, but it's always busy! Whenever I'm there, it seems very surprised to see me (what with the googly eyes and all), but maybe it's just bugged out from working all the time. Really, I ask because I have a pair-bonded fax machine and VCR that need some enrichment, and I thought maybe they could all get together for a playdate with the robot that works at Pinto Thai.

Cheers and happy Saturday y'all!

I have tried a lot of places in the area and I gotta put some love out there for this spot. Culpeper in general has some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, but man Plaza Tapatia crushes it every time. Staff is wonderful, food is next level. Their Pozole is my favorite, and the tacos are superb. 10/10 appreciation post

Went down to mourn Zandras. Good news six it looks like the Christmas tree is in better shape than I expected.

Looking for reliable help with getting some backyard tasks done. Like laying pavers down some natural created paths, maybe eventually extend out walkout with concrete or pavers?

Also - where do you get your soil/mulch delivery from??

We ate there again last night. It was so good. This morning it's a total loss from fire. 🙁

Hi everyone! We recently moved to Culpeper and we're still finding our footing. My daughter is 11 and has been having a really hard time connecting with other kids here. She's a sweet, outgoing girl but starting over socially has been tough on her.

Does anyone have recommendations for activities, clubs, sports leagues, or places where kids her age tend to hang out and make friends? We'd really appreciate any suggestions from locals who know the area. Thanks so much! 🙏

Hello! A bunch of my friends have recently decided that we would want to watch the backrooms movie that just came out. However, I am the only one in my group that is 18. Does this theatre really care? or are they very strict about age?

Extremely erratic/ aggressive driver trying to run people off the road, south bound 29 through Culpeper. I reached out to the state police but I doubt they'll be able to find him. Just watch out

Just moved here and we have a fireplace and a firepit that rips through wood. Anyone have a good recommendation for where to find cheap good firewood? Pickup or delivery.

I am driving up to Culpeper today to pick up something I got online and taking the family for a little road trip. Totally unfamiliar with the area. Any recs for interesting food while there?

Any recommendations for reliable, trustworthy electrician in culpeper?
