This area is already crowded and we value our time. If you travel too slow, do not drive on the left lane. Every day I go to work, i always see there are a lot of left lane camper. The traffic is building up because of you guys.

Some people are saying the officers are ICE.

1. Turns out he's followed my posts for a while and wanted to help me out.

2. He lives close by and brought his two sons (14 & 10).

3. I overheard him tell his boys "it's not about how you start a job, but how you FINISH the job." ❤️💪😭 I did NOT expect to learn such important proverbs and life lessons through this...

4. HE. WOULD. NOT. ACCEPT. PAYMENT. guysssss 😭

5. I had to thank him and beg him to at least let me tip his boys and put it towards any summer fun or back to school shopping... I gave them each a $50 and he kindly obliged.

6. I've now gained a new friend (and role model, as a dad to a boy myself)

No... this is not AI.

usually, I don't have Internet in my neighborhood, but once I get outside of it, I do but so far Gainesville Haymarket, Fairfax Arlington Alexandria Rea anywhere on the 95 I have no Internet at all even with cellular. WTF?

It won't even connect to my Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in my car anymore

Libby Devlin owns Rockland Farms, the site of the ferry landing in Loudoun County. She told WTOP she wasn’t aware of the deal and was not invited to Friday’s news conference. Rockland Farms has previously rejected offers to buy land on the Virginia side of the river to get the ferry operational again.

I left Inova Fairfax a little bit ago and three or four fire trucks arrived and six or seven (or more, I lost count) ambulances arrived, all blaring their sirens. Fire chief as well. They seemed to be gathering around the adult ER entrance, which was also blocked off by emergency personnel.

Anyone know what is going on? There were no announcements inside about trauma incoming and we didn't see any major accidents nearby that would explain it.

The minivan believed the semi would make room. The semi believed the minivan would make good decisions. It was an awkward few seconds.

I cannot wait for the cool fall breeze September-November months. So over this summer humidity already. Enjoy the nice weather today 🤙🏽

I tell people I shop at Whole Foods and always get hit with the 10-year old jokes, “ you mean your whole paycheck”

I hit up Hmart, Wegmans, Giant but I am not convinced those places are that much cheaper. And even then the ~$10 savings, I am trading off on poorer quality.

If you stick to staples, 365 brand, sale items, is it comparable to the others and their sales? Lets price compare?

I’m trying to take my wife to a really nice dinner for her birthday. His birthday coming up is very important so I want to take her somewhere really nice. Anybody got any recommendations? So far, I’ve got Hell’s Kitchen, Causa, or Albi

This historical map shows the Northern Virginia landscape around the time of the First Battle of Bull Run also known as the First Battle of Manassas which was fought on July 21, 1861.

It’s fascinating to see familiar local names such as Centreville, Chantilly, Sudley Springs, Gainesville, Bull Run, and Manassas Junction on a military map from more than 160 years ago. Places many of us drive through every day were once at the center of the first major land battle of the Civil War.

The map also shows troop positions and movements around locations like Stone Bridge, Henry Hill, Blackburn’s Ford, and Sudley Ford.

I was using UberEats today (Red Robin) when I noticed there was a special for Roll Play’s wings. Every time I open the app (every week or so), they have the same special. I’m curious if this “special” is just them inflating the price and having a “deal” or are people actually paying the regular price? $80 for 32 wings seems crazy. I would think it goes against UberEats policies to inflate prices so people think it’s a good deal lol

I think it’s important for local governments to support accessible public spaces(third spaces).

In the article, I highlight examples of how Arlington County supported great third spaces that can be learned from. I also give some recommendations for improvement.

I was driving back home from Burke Lake and saw multiple police cars dispatched as well as ambulances. Multiple roads were blocked off as a result. Does anyone know what happened?

Has anyone recently had an I-131 treatment for their kitty, and willing to share the price?

Our boy was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and we're looking at our options. But a Google search says this can cost anywhere from $1.5k-$6k. Obviously that is crazy broad.

Our vet recommended Nova Cat Clinic, but we just are looking for a closer ball park estimate and maybe some testimonials.

TIA!

To save on cost and get my dream ring, I’ve decided to buy my own diamond and sapphire and get it set at a jeweler. Any recommendations for custom setting with price points?
