I’m Asking for advice on finding remote work locally in Hampton Roads. I have a live in family member that I care for. Looking for ideas or success stories on how and where to search for remote work. I applied to a few after a Google search, but was bombarded with spam etc. thanks in advance for helpful replies.
Happy 4th 🇺🇸
So I'm a part of the sunrise movement of Chesapeake and me and my friends wanted to find somewhere to clean
Looking for DD driver Catherine who I met while looking for a delivery address in my building. Super friendly from Baltimore, attending college and dashing in the evenings. Been here a few months, living in Va Beach. Anyone know her? (DD customer service was no help). I’d love to keep in touch! Thanks!
I'm trying to get a sense of how nurses in the area feel about unionizing before I potentially put my own job at risk.
For some background, my previous employer was unionized, and I genuinely had a great experience. Our union advocated for safe staffing ratios, patient safety, fair working conditions, and the physical and mental well-being of staff. I know unions can be a divisive topic around here, but I wanted to put some feelers out before considering reaching out to one.
I've been working for the major healthcare system in the Hampton Roads area for about six months. I'm an experienced nurse, but what I've seen and heard during that time has honestly been alarming. Chronic understaffing is creating serious patient safety concerns. Management refuses to hire enough staff or provide safe nurse-to-patient ratios. Nurses in the emergency department are being assigned six patients. I've also heard of nurses being disciplined or fired for refusing to float to units where they believed the assignments were unsafe. Unfortunately, that's only part of the problem.
On top of that, this is the lowest-paying healthcare system in the area, and from what I understand, raises have been limited to around 2% for years.
I know not everyone shares the same views on unions, and I'm not looking to start an argument. I'm simply trying to understand whether other nurses feel the same way and whether organizing would be worth pursuing. I'd appreciate hearing your honest thoughts and experiences.
Leffel did maintenance work for Sentara for nine years. He was fired on the day of his arrest.
(1.) Right next to the Nissan on Battlefield Blvd?
(2.) Where the old Dirty Buffalo is in the Grassfield area?
(3.) Where the old TGI Fridays is? (The exact spot)
(4.) The blank area across the street from First Watch? (Thought it was gonna be a Mitsubishi plant at first)
(5.) The area next to the Popeyes's near Debaun Loop?
(6.) The spot area near, TGI Fridays, but across from the new Hyatt on the other side of the street? (Not #3, there's an area with terracotta beams I keep seeing near TGI Fridays)
The invasive species has come to Chesapeake specifically The Greenbrier area.

I’m looking for a house In Chesapeake because I’m relocating for work. Someone at work recommended Western Branch South, but I’ve read mixed things online about crime and the overall desirability of this area. I’ve found a house there that I like, and it’s in a beautiful neighborhood, but it’s adjacent to a rather ugly warehouse/business district and it’s only 2 miles from Portsmouth, and I’ve been told to stay as far away from Portsmouth as possible because of crime. Can anyone give me any insight? Western Branch South, good or bad?
Does anyone know what they're building on the corner of N Battlefield and Volvo next to the abandoned TGIF? Looks like a gas station. Fingers crossed its a Wawa.
I’m exploring a career change into teaching in Hampton Roads and would appreciate some honest feedback.
I recently finished a 27-year career in telecom leadership and learning & development, where I led training teams, designed curriculum, and delivered leadership development programs. I also have a Master’s in Education, though my focus was adult learning rather than K-12.
Are schools in Hampton Roads actually hiring for Social Studies, History, or Business teachers? Would a district realistically hire someone on a provisional license while I complete the required certifications and endorsements?
I’d love to hear from current teachers, administrators, or anyone who has made a similar transition into education. Thanks!
We’re looking to do some updating of our backyard flower beds and there at times is considerable rain so it flushes out all the mulch. Wondering if anyone knows of a good place to buy pond stone. We’ve looked at Home Depot and the option wasn’t amazing. We looked at Site One on Centerville and again only one option and not amazing. Anyone know a spot here or within 45 minutes (so NC like moyock, Va beach, Norfolk or Suffolk would work)?
Hi all!
I just moved to the area from NJ. I’m looking for a hair stylist in the hampton roads area. I’m living in Suffolk but willing to drive if I can find someone.
I’m specifically looking for someone who specializes in dry cuts. I know it’s a more niche technique, but I started getting them done in Jersey and fell in love. I work in health care and hardly do my hair so I want it to look good in its natural state. When I get a standard cut, I always end up with random uneven pieces bc my hair is textured and I don’t blow dry it.
I’d love any recommendations!! T
🐟 PSA for anyone who cares about the Chesapeake Bay: there's a silent threat lurking below the surface.
The Blue Catfish was introduced to Virginia rivers in the 1970s as a sport fish. Nobody told it to stay put. It's now found in nearly every tidal river in Maryland, it can live 20+ years, grow to over 100 lbs, and eat basically everything in sight — blue crab, menhaden, American eel, you name it. Watermen are noticing. Scientists are alarmed. And the Bay's ecosystem is under real pressure.
On June 25 in Easton, MD, Lectures on the Shore is hosting an evening with two people who are doing something about it:
🔬 Dr. Noah Bressman — marine biologist at Salisbury University, researches invasive species in the Bay, works with MD DNR and USGS
🦞 Nick Hargrove — waterman from Tilghman Island who built a seafood processing plant specifically to catch, process, and sell blue catfish commercially. He literally got a Congressional Record Citation for it in 2024.
The idea: if you can create a market for the fish, watermen have an incentive to pull them out of the Bay. It's not a perfect solution, but it's a real one — and it's working.
Reception with speakers at 5:30 p.m. ($60) | Program 6:30–8:00 p.m. ($40) | Livestream also available if you're not local
📍 Temple B'Nai Israel, 7199 Tristan Drive, Easton, MD

Looking for a provider for a senior citizen for a consult for hormone replacement therapy. Her family doctor (gerontologist) doesn’t want to “handle it.”
Hi everyone! I'm looking for one person in the Chesapeake area to help with a quick visit to a local sporting goods store for a project I'm working on. It only takes around 10–15 minutes. If you're interested or would like more details, feel free to send me a DM or happy to share my email address. Thanks!
