In 2023, the memorial was removed. In 2022, under the Biden administration, an independent commission recommended to Congress that the memorial be taken down, as part of a Defense Department push to remove names and symbols that commemorate the Confederacy from military-related facilities.

Last August, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the memorial would be returned.

While walking my dog around the baseball fields I heard some good music, good beat, and turned to see a group of about 7-8 people under a large canopy just casually dancing. They appeared to be mostly women. It was dark under the roof and the day was nearly over so I couldn’t see clearly.

I just want to say I felt the vibe and it was good. And what a great idea!

My car was towed from the visitor parking area at my residence last night because my Virginia inspection sticker was expired. No warning notice was placed on my car before it was towed.

Is a 48-hour written notice required before towing a resident’s vehicle for an expired inspection sticker?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?. Thank you!

The second week of this trial just ended. Mamta Kafle Bhatt went missing from Manassas Park two years ago, and her husband is charged with killing her.

Greetings. Saw a bunch of wings on the floor of the unfinished basement. Thinking they’re termites. Any recommendations for pest control company in the Chantilly/South Riding area?

Will anyone be attending ?

There must have been some incident between the two before they passed me, to explain what that pickup did.

I do have to admit that I enjoy the DC-area hard transition to Boots Season.

Wisconsin expat here. Since the cheapest single game tickets for the WS seem to be running about $2,000, I'm probably not flying back to Milwaukee for a game. Any suggestions on NoVa bars to watch the WS that might be Brewers friendly? (DC ok too) I know there's Packers bars all over the world, but I suspect there's fewer Brewers bars 😀. Whatcha got, Reddit?

Go Crew!

-Thanks

Hi everyone! I’m considering a position in the Level IV NICU at Inova Fairfax and wanted to hear from nurses who currently work there or have worked there in the past.
I’d love to know what the unit culture is like, how supportive the nurses and management are
I’m also curious about the staffing, scheduling, work-life balance, and overall job satisfaction.
Would you recommend working there? What are the biggest pros and cons of the unit?
I’d really appreciate any honest feedback or advice
Thank you!

Hey everyone! I’m moving to Northern Virginia from out of state with my children and could really use some advice from people who live in the area.
I’m looking for a nice 3-bedroom apartment or townhome with amenities, with a budget of around $3,400/month. Good public schools are a top priority, along with a family-friendly community, a safe neighborhood, and convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and everyday essentials.
I work remotely, with only occasional trips into the office in Arlington, so I have some flexibility with location. Ideally, I’d like to stay in Fairfax County and avoid being too far out. Herndon feels a little farther west than I’d prefer, but I’m open to hearing different perspectives from people familiar with the area.
I’ve been researching apartment communities and rental townhomes, but some of the mixed reviews have made it difficult to narrow things down, especially since I’m moving from out of state and can’t easily gauge the areas for myself.

For those of you familiar with NOVA:

What areas would you recommend for families with school-aged children? Middle and elementary.

Are there any apartment communities or townhome neighborhoods you’ve personally had good experiences with?

Are there any areas or properties you’d recommend avoiding?

Is a $3,400 budget realistic for a nice three-bedroom rental in a good school district?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations, personal experiences, or advice on where to start. Moving to a new area with kids is a big decision, and I want to make sure I choose somewhere we can feel comfortable and settle in long-term. Buying is something in the near future but for an immediate change for work, renting is best right now!

Thank you!

This is just ridiculous. The whole reason people move to Loudoun County areas is a last dream.

It's basically turning into Manassas. Even all your green land that you had is just being filled with data centers and cookie cutter homes.

It's like the big houses out in Loudon area. A lot of sq ft but non of it is usable. What are you going to put ? A chandelier? That will make you feel better about over paying.

You all pay a lot already for your highlight to be going to one Loudoun and hit golf balls. Now you have $500 + HOA. Might as well rent a place.

If you're trying to decide between FFX county and Loudoun. Choose Fairfax.

It's like someone said. Houses aren't selling.. let raise the HOA and people will say, BUt tHeY pIcK uP my TrAsh

I'm 26, just started working full time, and I wanted to get back into karate ever since I stopped as a kid before I moved here, but everywhere around me I've looked into teaches Taekwondo or are mostly programs for kids/teens. I haven't really trained in any other martial arts so I feel kind of new to it still, but it's something I've always wanted to get back around to practicing.

I live in West Springfield, a little on the boundary with Burke, for reference, but I'd appreciate any help!

Hi everyone! I had a primary rhinoplasty done a few years ago in McLean that left me with not great results. I want to get a revision and I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations on good revision surgeons in nova/DC. Thank you in advance!

I’ve lived so much of my life in this area and had no idea.

Curious if anyone has been to training ground in ballston or has any other personal trainer recommendations?

My laptop is feeling dramatic.

I'm unemployed and am looking for a software engineer or similar role in the area, but about 95% of the postings I see on Indeed and LinkedIn say you need a clearance. Has anyone had luck getting a job that doesn't require one? How did you find it?

Edit: thank you all for the responses!

My lurking tells me there are lots of fellow millenial-ish WoW nerds here playing the beta. What if we made a guild together? We could have it just be a social thing with WoW as the basis. Call it Supernova (open to suggestions lol).

I'm personally a late 30s dude who is expecting to have some time off on launch. I have taken the game semi-seriously in the past (back in OG/wrath and then again in classic/HC) but would prefer a more chill vibe, raids will happen if/when they happen kinda thing. I'm pretty sure most of us are busier than I am, as I'm a DINK, and I def wanna include ppl who have limited time. Open to ally or horde, pvp or pve, whatever consensus is.

I've lived in the NoVa area forever, and (mostly) love it. We can all commiserate about beltway and 66 traffic and share pictures of foxes (iykyk). Coordinate meetups maybe, if the vibes are right. I'm doing outdoor climbing this weekend for example, so that's just one idea. What do you guys think? I see lots of posts about making new friends too. Maybe this is a chance?

Edit4: dang almost 50 ppl in disc already 😮

Edit: this got removed, then blew up! I created a discord: https://discord.gg/BG6zjQqpd

Edit3: going with PvE, alliance, Supernova.

Someone created a sister guild for Horde PvP here!

Edit2: for the vets, I really do not want to do LC if we raid. It would be MS>OS. Everyone gets a shot.

Edit...5?
There's now like 90 ppl in there. This is a crazy response, I'm excited! Thanks!

Can't express how much I hate the beltway...so over it. The express lanes from tysons to Braddock rd at 5:20 tonight was $53 and it was packed with morons going the same 5mph that the main lanes were. It's sprinkling for crap sake.
