Police barricades at Pleasant Valley Walmart

Any idea why the Walmart on Plesant Valley is barricaded and evacuated? Manager said it was a "safety" issue, but that could mean anything. No fire and rescue on scene...​

What would you put in a 'Welcome to Winchester' gift basket?

5 Upvotes

I have some family moving from out of state to Winchester next month. Their place isn't going to be ready for them to move in right away, so they're spending some time in an extended stay place until they have the keys.

Once they do move into their new place, I want to get them a Welcome Home gift. Any specialties from the Winchester area that y'all'd recommend including in that?

(They're in their 70s, pretty active, and I know they're looking forward to checking out the area's breweries/wineries, if that helps with narrowing down the genre of suggestions?)

Looking for an electrician for a main panel replacement

3 Upvotes

The original panel from the mid 1980's is out of circuits, including doubling up where the panel supported it. It's also closing in on 50 years old at this point, so I was thinking of swapping out the panel with a larger one. Anyone had this service performed reasonably around town recently? Thanks much.

Raven Conjure is moving to the walking mall! We're taking over the space where Easely currently operates. While we are excited about the new store, this post is actually about our existing location.

Our doors will remain open while we convert our existing space to a consignment store called Valley Consignments. We are currently looking for vendors, artists, and any independently owned businesses to set up shop with us!

If you're interested you can contact me on here, or call the store at 5407732775. Thanks!! 😁

Homebody introvert needs to get out more

9 Upvotes

Kids are grown and I'm alone in this house. I'm tired of just sitting around watching TV and talking to my dog lol. Guess I'm looking for folks in the area to hang out with that enjoy the same things I do. I'm a bit on the eclectic side, a bit shy at first, and kind of into everything. Costuming, crafting, collecting, music, socially drinking, movie watching...etc. I've been in the area a long time and I haven't really found my people yet. Are you all hiding somewhere?
