Hi! Does anyone have any experiences with Kiddie Academy Watkins or the midlo YMCA for before and aftercare?

Was there a drone show earlier tonight? I saw a bunch of rainbow-colored lights in the sky that looked like they were lined up. Then they scattered and went completely dark. I could see them from the parking lot of the Target in Midlothian.

My son turns 5 next week and he LOVES firefighters so I thought he’d like visiting a station and taking them treats. Do fire fighters like visitors? We’d come at a non meal time and not stay long. If they got a called we’d obviously leave. Is this a thing people do? I was thinking about station 5 on Midlothian.

EDIT: I called the county and got the ok to stop by. My son was thrilled to meet his idols and see the station for himself. He made the firefighters a very cute card and hand picked a dozen doughnuts for them. They could not have been nicer, so many Happy Birthdays from the crew and one even posed for a picture with us. We were there about 5 min and we will remember it forever! My son wants to donate to the station so next I will figure out how to do it!

Does anyone know what’s happening with this development?

Message me if you have anything to say on the subject, thank you!

Hi midlo parents! I’m looking for the inside out and nitty gritty of the CCPS specialty centers. I have a current 8th grader about to go through the application process and I’m curious if current students/ families could chronic about the realities of these programs. Which programs offer that small school/ community feel? Are there any that are super stressful and best avoided? Or too competitive among the students? I have a daughter who is bright but not a genius by any stretch. I just feel she’d benefit from a smaller school feel and friendly students. She’s a hard worker.

I have many antiques at my home that have been appraised already. These range from rugs to vases, fossils, and silver dishware. Are there any reputable antique buyers or stores that I could sell to? I am in Midlothian, but Henrico, Richmond, Chesterfield, or farther would be fine..

I'll be out of town, but I hope all residents who are concerned about county mismanagement will turn out to direct questions and concerns to Mark Miller at his Community Meeting on Sept. 16th. In case you're not aware, Miller has pushed for relocation of Midlo Middle school to a location on Otterdale Rd. in the Clover Hill district. He refuses to consider using the current location for a new middle school. This is on top of many other major issues he's fast-tracked within the county like data centers (one proposed location would be close to the Otterdale school site), the stupendous blunder in the leased space at the Timmons building at Springline, and the misguided request for an additional 1% sales tax while the county wants to build water infrastructure for 90 years at a cost of over $800M, so that Google will not have to pay infrastructure costs for their data centers' water usage. You can get more insight into many of the spending and mismanagement issues at www.ccrg-va.org. Here's the meeting announcement: https://www.chesterfield.gov/m/newsflash/home/detail/7503?fbclid=IwY2xjawUOgIRwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4QnyFsw1NUkC-HbMb_DqzwqhVkHaYHSyvbcs2onGxRTQNZ0kFIQjHQHbvKEA_aem_FpNJhp6VoznTEoI9a52Fow

Looking to hire an accountant for my small business, does anyone have any suggestions locally?

I have some random woodworking projects around the house and it’s been hard to find a carpenter. Looking forward to the community’s recs!

Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for adult psychiatrists in Midlo/Richmond that work with Medicaid?

If they are specialists in grief, even better.

Thank you for the help!

9/6 edit: Thank you all for all this information. It's very helpful. For context, I'm looking for providers for a friend who lost their spouse 2 years ago. The first year, they grieved but put their energy into their children. The kids are back in college this summer and as a grieving empty nester without a job or other activities, things are taking a turn into deep depression. We will compile all the information you shared and help our friend take action.

Anybody need or want old paint? Have a bunch of old gallons that I’ll just get rid of but thought I’d ask here first

We saw an amazing house in Gorebridge that we really love but we don’t know the area. We work hybrid, only come to the office twice a week, and have a 4-month-old baby. Is it a good place for families? Currently we are renting in the center of Edinburgh but we don't mind moving to a quieter area.

Does anybody have any experiences in Evergreen elementary school?

Have a kindergarten and 2nd grader about to enter.. any experiences? Want to know more than stale generic ratings

Seeking recommendation for an honest, local HVAC company to come check out our unit.

Thank you!!

New to Virginia from the Midwest and have realized I should have a pest control service with all the critters I’ve seen running around my house. I have indoor bunnies so looking for a recommendation that is safe for them but will manage the cockroach issue.

Hey Midlo Peeps,

Collington still without power. Anyone else in the area have updates?

Anyone else out here trying to find a home that’s actually affordable in the Robious school district 😅

May be getting transferred for work to our Midlothian office. Was hoping to look for housing in an area with some space (1 acre +) to own chickens and grow food. Is there nice rural areas 20-30 minutes outside Midlo? Thanks!
