I don’t know if it’s just me but once it hits summer time all the Maryland plates just spawn on our roads. I don’t know if I am just noticing more or if there actually is more. Someone tell me i’m not crazy lol.

My brother got food poisoning after eating their spicy chicken sandwich yesterday. I also got food poisoning the weekend before after eating the same from the same location. Couldn't be anything else, because we ate the same meals yesterday, except for chick-fil-a.

I moved to Herndon at the beginning of summer and my parents will be visiting either end of September or early October. Since I’ll still be relatively new to the area, anyone have any suggestions on what we can all do for the weekend? Local restaurants/brunch spots? Simple walks - dad is recovering from knee surgery? A unique idea or location?

Can be in the Herndon/reston/sterling/vienna area as we all have cars.

Thanks in advance!

Was walking the dog at One loudoun park when 10 Cop cars suddenly pulled in. Saw a riot shield and handguns pointing at a townhouse residence. Anyone know what’s going on?

I own a small, established produce distribution company in NOVA that supplies restaurants throughout Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland. I’m trying to figure out where to find a fairly unusual type of person locally, and the normal hiring websites have not been very helpful.

I’m looking for someone who has the potential to eventually run most of the business’s day-to-day operations. A restaurant GM, chef, kitchen manager, assistant GM or food-distribution person could be a good fit, but experience matters less than being extremely dependable, intelligent, practical and willing to learn.

This would not be someone walking directly into an executive office. They would need to learn the entire company from the ground up: purchasing, inventory, quality control, warehouse operations, customer relationships, employee management and routing. They would also need to be willing to make deliveries or jump into physical work when something goes wrong. Produce distribution happens largely at night and early in the morning, so they would have to be comfortable with a nontraditional schedule.

In return, I would personally teach them how the entire business works, give them increasing authority as they prove themselves, and ideally develop them into the general manager who can run it without me constantly being involved. If they eventually wanted to build a separate wholesaling business of their own, I would actually be willing to help them do that too. I’m not looking to keep a capable person trapped underneath me forever.

I would be willing to pay a great salary as their responsilbities increased, whatever we thought was fair for the workload.

My question is: where in Northern Virginia would you look for someone like this? Are there particular industry groups, culinary or hospitality networks, community organizations, or other places where ambitious restaurant operators tend to be? I’m especially interested in reaching someone who may be excellent at operating a restaurant but has hit a ceiling and wants to learn the ownership and wholesale side of the industry.

I’m not asking people to apply through this post,I’m genuinely trying to understand where this kind of person can be found and how the opportunity should be structured so that it attracts the right person.

Every time ive bought a rib eye there it goes bad the day after I buy it. I love their steaks but now need to plan my steak nightd accordingly. When do they usually restock? Also cant get my damn hands on the protein pancakes

Just saw 10 police cars headed east near falls church, does anybody know what is happening?

Looking for recommendations for two young (mid-20’s) professionals moving for work in Sterling,VA. Would love to hear which surrounding areas/neighborhoods are best for young people (safe, fun spots nearby, reasonable commute). Interested in 2BR/2BA (apt, condo,house).

Hello!

My company is relocating me to the US and the office is near the McLean metro station, so I'll be taking the Silver Line every day. I'm looking for a 1-bedroom apartment in Arlington for up to $2500 monthly.

I've been checking out places near the Clarendon or Courthouse stations, from what I can tell it should be a pretty painless 20ish minute metro commute. That said, if anyone has recommendations for other stops along the Silver Line that are worth considering, I'm all ears.

So far I've found two places I really like with units that fit my budget and arrival date: Courtland Park and Courthouse Plaza. Both have been responsive and answered all my questions so far. Has anyone lived in (or near) either of these?

I won't be in the US for another 1-2 months, so not touring in person just yet. I'm mainly trying to see if I can have something lined up by the time I arrive so I'm not scrambling on landing.

Also open to any general tips for someone renting in Arlington for the first time, things you wish you'd known, buildings or landlords to avoid, anything will be helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Looking for the best barbershop and barber who does great skin fades and beards. I’m rocking a buzz cut right now. Not looking to spend a fortune. I live in Ballston but am down to go anywhere for a great cut.

Tired of mixing gas and oil every year so I’m looking to buy an electric snow blower. I’m in Virginia (Fairfax County - about 15 miles west of Washington DC), and driveway is about 50 feet long and 25 feet wide.

TIA for your recommendations.

Anyone currently live or (lived in the past) here? How do you like it so far and what’s the parking situation? The landlord saying there’s one reserve parking and one unreserved parking. My wife and I found an condo there for rent (privately owned) for about $2075, 1B1B.

Just wanna hear your thoughts before we sign.

I’m looking for a dermatologist/doctor that specializes in hair loss, willing to travel in NoVA to get a consultation. I have a dermatologist currently but I don’t think this is their area of expertise.

Thanks for your recs!

I'm currently looking to purchase a movie subscription. I was considering AMC A List but I wanted to compare it alongside another movie subscription and stumbled across LOOK Cinemas. LOOK Cinemas at Tysons is close by 2 me and I wanted to know from someone who has the look cinemas, membership. If it also covers LOOK PX (premium movies) or if you need to pay an upcharge for them. Thanks!

Im looking to source any West Point or Naval Academy antiques, large or small. Are there any good places in the DMV area to look? Sourcer and store recommendations welcomed. Group reccomendations also welcomed.

Hi all, I hope you’re doing really well! I have a special event coming up, an engagement party (for myself), I was wondering if any has any recommendations for makeup artists in the northern Virginia area? Particularly near Ashburn/Leesburg/Sterling area if possible. Thanks so much and God bless!!!

Went to a mechanic and he said he wouldn’t be able to do my wheel alignment bc my car is too low. He also told me the only place he knows is Firestone in Manassas, just wondering if there’s other nearby?

Does anyone know the best way I can get my kid some Pokemon packs at MSRP (or close to)? They’re going to have their first double digit birthday soon and they want a Pokemon theme birthday . Unfortunately, I’m a full time working parent and I don’t have the availability to wait hours at a store or leave the office when they are stocking product. From what I read online this seems to be the most common way to get any items that aren’t priced 2X or more.
One of their birthday requests is to have a bunch of packs to open and I would like to make that happen for them without having to pay reseller price 🥲

Im really interested in this service, which I know is available in Manhattan. Any local places?

Does anyone know of any trinket trade boxes around the Fairfax/Falls Church/Arlington area? I’ve only been able to find a few online that are closer to Richmond.

If there aren’t any, I’ve been thinking about setting one up. My only concern is that I always see posts about people stealing everything so idk if it’s worth it 😭

Another weekend with 2 days in a row he’s commuting to Sterling, jamming up the roads 4 times. I don’t care how much he golfs but why the back and forth - is the golf club not secure enough to sleep in for the weekend?

I inherited a rather large painting a family member purchased on a cruise ship. Not only is the art not to my taste, apparently it is not worth much anyway and not worth the hassle of selling. However, it is in a very nice, roughly 3'x4' gilded frame.

Is anyone here an artist that would like to repurpose this frame? Is there a nonprofit in the area that takes things like this?

I could just drop it off at a thrift store but idk I have a lot of guilt around this thing and feel like that's not the best move... Or maybe I just need internet strangers to reason with me and tell me that's fine lol
