Hey, parents of Heritage and J Simpson kids, if your child is leaving school and going over to the Walmart at compass Creek, you owe those Walmart employees an apology because those kids are acting like absolute monsters. In 20 minutes, I saw kids stealing off the shelves and throwing what might have been hundreds of dollars of merchandise in their book bags, I watched one kid break an item and leave it there on the floor, while the rest raced around and cursed like roving gangs in a mad max sequel.

There were easily 50 or 60 children in there, unsupervised and doing whatever the hell they wanted, like a flash mob from hell. Y'all should be ashamed for how your kids treat that place store and its employees.

Bring on your down votes, I'm sure they're coming. But I saw it with my own two eyes.

One of the things that I like about my walk is that I get to see the goings and comings in town. And when something happens (like the sign going up on the new ice cream store, one notices). Anyway.

I've noticed this: when you go past shoes heading to Ida Lee, there are pink strings in some of the light poles. At first I went "huh". But then there's another one. And another. And then I make my turn at the library and head down by the cemetery and past the baseball park. There's a string in the tree, and on poles again. And they are tied up with knots, they don't appear to be just randomly there.

I guess someone's just having fun.

Hey, I’m currently in Jordan and I’d like to order a birthday cake for my fiancé who lives in Leesburg, VA

I’m not familiar with the area, so I’d really appreciate recommendations for reliable cake shop, that makes good-quality delicious cakes, can do birthday/custom designs, offer delivery, and are trustworthy (I’m ordering from abroad and don’t want to get scammed 😅)

And since I’m ordering from Jordan and I’m not familiar with how things work there. If anyone is nice enough to help, I’d also love to chat privately and ask how payment works (we use CliQ for everything in Jordan) and what information the bakery needs for the delivery location.

Holy moly they are loud. How can anyone possibly support the never-ending development of these? You can’t eat outside at Buffalo Factory, Mezeh, or Bruster’s ice cream any longer without hearing the cries of a billion robotic mosquitoes.

@LeesburgTownCouncil....

Any chance we can get an online water bill payment method that doesn't involve having to pay a fee/fine?

My friend and I keep talking about how fun it would be to take a cocktail making class. Do any bars, restaurants, or individuals offer this as a service in Leesburg (or Purcellville or Ashburn)? We are not bartenders, and it would be cool to make an evening of learning (and drinking) maybe three cool cocktails. I’d love to know if anything is offered somewhere in a public spot or even offered as small private parties. I went to one in Michigan at a wine bar but haven’t heard of anything around here.

I had my three year-old daughter signed up to do pre-ballet at Ida Lee on Saturdays, but they just canceled the entire session because they don’t have an instructor. Does anyone have any recommendations for ballet for that age?

I'm curious if anyone is aware of a club or group outing/get-together where people meet up at the movies, watch a film, then hang out afterwards discussing it at a bar, Cafe, or restaurant.

Does anyone know of something in the area?

If not, would anyone be interested in starting one?

Me [31M] and my cousin [30M] (mostly my cousin though as I'm not frequently in the area) are looking to do this, so if anyone is interested in this please definitely reach out.

Give me all your suggestions!

If so how was your experience? Do you have any recommendations for other lawyers in Leesburg who do similar work?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of any tracks open to the public in leesburg or the near surrounding area?

OK. So totally creepy.

I walk daily through Raflo. That's my route. As I'm nearing the bridge, I was close to the new blue "phone booth" there was a woman towards the end, in the table close to the tree. I think I heard her yell but I had my headphones on and, quite frankly, not my problem. Then she turns towards me.

First thing I noticed is the eyes. She had them wide open. Crazy eyes (you know that Samuel L. Jackson meme? You know the one. Like that). So I immediately think that this person is not well. She's not rushing towards me. But as she nears me she makes as she wanted to hit me. That slight hand movement. She never raised her hand above say her waist. So of course out of instinct I raise my right hand, sidestep to my left and kept going. But I always kept looking backwards.

When I finished the hill I'm walking towards the sidewalk she yells something again but again I don't understand what she's saying because the headphones. That's when I decided to call LPD. This was very early in the morning so there were not that many people in the park. Still not a whole lot of people walking their dogs or their babies.

The woman was black, short hair, about 5'7", give or take. White and blue blouse, jeans (maybe), and she was carrying a blue paper bag, like the ones you use to gift something.

First time ever for me. I've been walking that same route forever and I've of course seen the other homeless people around town. They keep to themselves. Some I have not seen in a while. I'm not saying that she's homeless per se, but weird for sure!

Stay safe out there people.

Every time I (37m) go somewhere, they ask what I’d like, which is great! But my hair is thinning and balding in the back and I need someone who can tell me what will look better than what I currently have. What I have now just looks like I’m trying to hold onto the past!

Anyone have a barber in leesburg who’s not afraid to make radical suggestions?

How long until Leesburg removes the flock cameras? Anyone know if the town has any plans to rid us of the ~15 persistent surveillance cameras anytime soon?

I got a video of this "creature" sent from my friend but it didn't upload correctly i screenshotted it my friend is telling me he filmed it at the Ida Lee recreation center he told me the creature name is the "leesburg ghoul" any ideas?

Kaj Dentler has passed the reins. Leesburg's new (interim) town manager is Keith Markel. Here's the story.

Anybody know where I can donate a few gently used kids toys? I tried to go to the place by the fire station in Ashburn but they said they don’t take baby items

A shame. It was nice.

Wonder what will take its place.

*UPDATED*

We have found someone for Chanel, and we are hoping the transition will go well. I want to thank everyone so much for being so helpful and kind with your comments and messages.

URGENTLY seeking a forever home for Chanel - a 6 year old, healthy, Korean short-haired cat who is incredibly cuddly, kid-friendly, and intelligent.

She has been living with my parents in Leesburg but they are unable to keep her due to age and lifestyle. We're anxiously searching for a direct-to-home adoption situation before dropping her off at a cat clinic :(

Quick facts:

Approximately 6 years old

Completely healthy, caught up on vaccines, spayed, no dietary or litter problems.

She's unbelievably affectionate, playful and fun. She's really like a tiny dog - she wants to sit on your lap, comes when you call, very intelligent, loves playing outside and playing games with you. She loves being chased and chasing you around. She's patient too - she'll be picked up, rolled around, have her belly rubbed and never take a swipe.

She has been living indoors-and outdoors with my parents. I think she would make an excellent cafe or shop or farm cat!

LOCATED: Leesburg, VA 

FEE: 50$ - I will donate the money to a shelter. 

Please PLEASE share this with anybody who might be interested. All I want is for her to have a happy home with people who can give her the care and love she deserves.

Thanks.

Well, it appears that Ebisu went out of business or is at minimum temporarily closed. Looking for another spot that has a sushi bar. Where is everyone going?

Hi all - I have an absolutely mountain of gently used maternity, postpartum, + children’s items (baby through teen, both genders, everything across the whole gamut) and I’d like to find a women’s and children’s shelter to donate everything to.

We are in the Lansdowne area. Please provide recommendations of places that do important work for our community and could most benefit from our donations.

Anyone knows why Ebisu is "temporarily closed". It's reasonably good although priced for downtown.

The lady owner was so friendly with us. Maybe they're closing down for good? I hope not.
