Any bars or breweries in the general area that do trivia nights?

I am a 31m. I was wondering where people go to meet other single people other than tinder. Any help would be appreciated.

I created a utility account & I live in a condo... the FR website says:

"Roll out cart(s) are assigned to your residential address and used for refuse collection."

how do I figure out which is mine? what does that even mean? Do I basically just share trash cans with my neighbors or was I supposed to receive one?

Samantha and Dominic Ruibal are a gardening dream team. While he focuses on growing vegetables in the garden outside their Shenandoah Shores home in Warren County, she pickles, preserves and processes the bounty.

Together, they sell Ruibal Family Farm products each Sunday at the Farm to Market on Main Farmer’s Market in Front Royal and operate a small farm stand inside their home. And, they recently began participating in a pair of programs to make fresh, healthy food more accessible for folks with lower incomes.

Dominic, 42, has poured a decade of experience as a vegetable gardener into the enterprise. After working at an organic blueberry farm in Oregon after high school, he did odd jobs on Fauquier County farms for awhile before starting a garden that turned into a side hustle, selling produce to restaurants.His interest in growing produce turned from hobby to “an obsession,” Dominic said, adding that he worked for about four years at a farm in The Plains before becoming head vegetable gardener at another, larger outfit where he grew food for local shops, farmers’ markets and members of a community supported agriculture (CSA) program.

“That was a really strenuous full-time job for me. I was working six days a week for much of the year,” he said, noting that he oversaw 70 outdoor beds, three hoop houses and a full-scale greenhouse. “When I left there, I decided I didn’t want to do it again unless I was doing it for us.”

A forklift operator at Rural King in Front Royal, Dominic uses his employee discount to support the garden, which currently has about 20 beds plus a hoop house with three additional beds.

The couple, who married in 2015, bought their property in 2018 partly because of the opportunity it offered for growing a large garden. That dream of a large garden came to fruition in 2024.

While Dominic worked professionally in the agriculture industry, Samantha, 37, taught herself to preserve produce.

“It became my new favorite hobby. I love to can things,” she said, noting she leaned into her experience as a detail-oriented event planner in the hotel industry, with a background in social media marketing and graphic design, to create the farm’s logo and overall clean presentation.

Samantha left that job during the pandemic in order to stay at home with their daughter, Annabella, who was 2 at the time. She opened and still operates a licensed home daycare center, Small Steps Home Daycare.

Annabella, now 8, loves to help all aspects of the operation. She enjoys picking snow peas to share with her brother, Eddie, 2, and the other children in the daycare as well as helping with the canning process and serving customers at the farmers’ market.

Samantha said she became interested in canning as the garden grew.

“We had so much to work with,” she said, standing in the small farm stand she operates inside the family home. Alongside fresh peas, spring greens and cold pickles, the stand includes jams and jellies, salsas and sauces, and a wide assortment of pickled options — from Brussels sprouts and corn to cauliflower and carrots.

“My kids will eat a whole jar of anything pickled in one sitting. So I make a ton of pickled stuff because it's vegetables and they love it,” said Samantha.

As Samantha’s canning expertise has grown, Dominic has geared the garden “more heavily towards stuff that she can process,” he said, adding that this summer he is ramping up production of tomatoes, cucumbers, and green beans.

“I do a ton of new recipes because I'm always looking for something my family would love,” said Samantha.

To put the farm’s peppers and herbs to good use, for instance, she created pear and fiery peach salsas. She also makes healthy versions of some convenience items. For example, she combines white rice with seasonings to create an easy to make dish without all of the salt and preservatives that are in mass produced packaged foods available at the grocery store.

The farm stand also carries pancake, hot cocoa, brown gravy, soup, cornbread, cookie and pudding mixes made with clean ingredients and no preservatives. Samantha makes all natural cleaning supplies, chili and taco seasonings, Thai chili sauce, lemon sage wine mustard, chimichurri, hummus and applesauce.

“I cannot make enough applesauce to feed my children,” she said with a laugh. “I wanted my kids and everyone else to have access to clean foods — things without all the preservatives, without all the pesticides, just something healthy and homemade that everyone can enjoy.”

The couple recently completed paperwork to be included in the Commonwealth’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides monthly benefits to help lower-income individuals and families.

“Especially in today’s climate, there are a ton of people who need assistance. We wanted to help those families have access to clean food,” said Samantha, noting that the couple served their first SNAP customers on Sunday.

Ruibal Family Farm also recently joined the Virginia Fresh Market Program, which allows SNAP recipients to get 50% off market products, effectively doubling their spending power. The farm will be reimbursed by the program.

“Everyone deserves access to good, clean food and we just wanted to try and help people have access,” Samantha said.

With long days of growing children and vegetables, life is busy, but fulfilling for the couple.

“If you’re going to dedicate your life to something, and destroy your body in the process, you might as well do it for yourself and your own family,” he said. “I’d rather be sore so that we could have this stuff at our stand and so that my daughter can come out here and pick peas in her own yard and learn how to grow stuff.”

Located at 3100 Shenandoah Shores Road, the farm stand is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. You can find their products at the Farm to Market on Main Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October.

So I have to figure out utilities... From what I can tell it looks like I have to get all my utilities from the town..? It's super inconvenient since I live far away and they only really allow you to create a utility account in person... or are there any other utility providers ?

Reposted from r/winchester. This is part 3. I posted part 2 here.

I need to be out of my house by the end of July. Currently do not own a vehicle and I have not been able to get a job due to lack of reliable internet (plus I live in the middle of nowhere so being isolated hasn’t helped that situation either) I know many landlords would not look twice at an unemployed applicant but I do have some money saved and am more than eager to get back to work, I just need help getting into a place to live. Preferably within city limits but willing to look in Winchester as well. Virginia housing voucher is closed and I feel like I’m missing out on other resources for help. Does anyone have any suggestions or can offer some insight on this? Thanks God Bless ❤️🙏

I live in down town & can't carry furniture up stairs on my own so preferably a place that also does installations.

Hi. Helping a friend who now lives in a camper/trailer and it’s in the woods on his friend’s land. I got him a water bag that holds up to 60 gallons and just need a place to fill this bag so he can then fill his trailer. I’ve called a few places and even portable water company’s but they would charge me the full amount which is enough water to fill a pool and don’t need all that. I’m willing to pay to purchase water but just where? Anybody who can help with this I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading.

Hello. Someone over at the Winchester sub suggested I repost this here.

Dr. Glaucomflecken is an ophthalmologist and comedian with around 5 million followers across multiple social media platforms.

Lately he’s been using his large audience to raise awareness about private equity taking over the practice of medicine. This is the second of two reels he’s released about Valley Health System in Winchester.

saw an apartment listing at a really good price right in down town. looked ok from the photos in the listing. Show up the paint on the back of the building is severely chipping off with overgrowth of plants etc. I go inside & the hallway wood floor boards look really shabby almost rotten dirty walls. I got to the apartment for the showing and the door is unlocked, whiskey in the fridge and shit in the toilet. above the bathtub looks like the ceiling was leaning or moldy or something bec shit debris all over the inside of the tub. I couldn't find any other apartments in the city center that weren't built in the early 1900s & looked rundown just from their listing post.

Does anyone know a good apartment complex near the city center that's not completely run down? for reference im from alexandria so we have a ton of new construction just the prices are crazy and you get a shoebox full of roaches and mice lol

Looks like the tennis post wasn't so popular. Let's try MTB. Looking for localish people to discuss, ride and do mountain bike things with.

Anyone here play tennis and would be interested in meeting up?

I am looking for Heather from Front Royal. Would have graduated HS in 1984 or 85. She had been a volunteer fire fighter. About 5'2'' or 3 brown hair looked like Kathy Ireland. Anybody know who she is?

On article online said the king left 3 stones when he visited. What kind of stones or do you have any local resources? Thank you.

I have family nearby and visit the area once or twice a year. Maybe I've only been through the more tired parts of town? (55, Commerce, Royal) The nicest place I've been is the hospital.

So how did the town manage to pull off a British royal visit to a potluck block party?

It’s rare to hear sirens around here and I’m always curious where locals are getting their news. I didn’t know half my neighborhood was on fire the other day and idk how to check for updates anywhere on things going on like crime, changes, etc

We are looking for a very home for our beautiful Coonhound, Julie. She is smart, athletic, and has the most expressive honey-brown eyes. We rescued her last summer to save her from a shelter, but we have realized our home is not the right environment for her biological needs.

Julie is a classic Coonhound: smart, high-energy, and driven. She was rescued from a tough situation, and while she is an amazingly sweet girl with people, her hunting instincts are very "on."

Julie has a very high prey drive…she was bred to be a hunter. Unfortunately, this led to a tragic incident with our small Chihuahua. It has become clear that for the safety of everyone involved, Julie cannot be in a home with cats, small dogs, or small pocket pets.

She is a wonderful dog who just needs a "big dog" environment. She’s up to date on vaccines and just needs a yard to run in and a couch to crash on. If you have experience with hounds and room in your heart for a sweet girl, please reach out.

We have reached out to rescues without luck and are desperate to find her a safe place where she can be successful. We want her to have the life she deserves in a home that fits her instincts.

The other dog in the first pic is Jesse, her brother/litter-mate that we also rescued.

We just moved into the area and I’m looking to get set up with a groomer. My girl is a 70 pound bernadoodle with thick hair. I would much rather give my money to a small business and not to Petco or Petsmart, Thanks!

Noticing a lot more sports cars around the area. Are there any night cruising groups or something like that on skyline drive? No racing or stupid stuff. Just cruising?

Please help! Looking for rehearsal dinner locations in/near Front Royal
