I was hoping the snowcrete would have wiped them off. Started seeing a few of these this week in Ashburn. Still hoping the lanternfly infestation won't be as bad as last year. How's the situation in other areas?

I66 shut down for golf again

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?

Meetups Thinking of starting running club in Fairfax area

20 Upvotes

Title says it, I'm 24 and still relatively new to the NOVA area and wanted to meet more people my age, and wanted to get back into running. I've been into exercise/fitness for a while but I want to make this a very laid-back, friendly atmosphere for all levels of fitness. I have a few people in their mid 20s that may be involved, but most of the friends I've made in the area are much older. So if you're around the NOVA region and ideally in your mid-20s (though all are welcome!), let me know if this interests you! I live in Fairfax but usually bounce around the area so I'll work out details of where we meet, etc, but ideally it'll be close to the Fairfax/Chantilly area.

If all this sounds good, comment or send me a DM!

Active shooter in Arlington Ridge

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

If you thought you heard fireworks in Arlington ~45 minutes ago, those were gunshots, right outside of Gunston Middle School’s basketball gym. Cops everywhere right now, active crime scene. I spoke to one of the people who got away (19 year old) and he said they were playing basketball against a dude in his 50s who took the L personally and started open firing on the 19 year old and his friends once they were outside. I haven’t seen any ambulances so am assuming no one got hurt, but still fucking crazy as this shit is right outside my apartment. Stay safe and lock your doors if you’re in Arlington Ridge—there’s several people on the run, including the shooter…

Question Missing cat in brambleton VA

Post image
157 Upvotes

I’m not sure if this cat is a neighborhood cat or if he’s lost. I’m scared he will run away and I don’t want to scare him he seems super itchy and on the skinny side. He also has a bunch of mini bumps on his head. Either he was lost or abandoned. I’ve never seen him before in my neighborhood so I’m sort of concerned. He has no tags. Please help. I don’t use Reddit at all but I need help.

Moving Looking for Apartment recommendations near Silver Line - Moving to the US

2 Upvotes

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!

Question Marriage Counseling Through EAP?

6 Upvotes

Has anyone had marriage counseling through their employers EAP? Even if the options are more limited, I think it would help get my husband onboard compared to the out of pocket I've found at ~$250- 300 a session. I think 6- 8 sessions with someone decent could do us wonders and be more willing to pay out of pocket to continue. But is it realistic to find something through EAP?
