Hi everyone! My husband and I are moving to the Virginia Beach area this summer, and I’m trying to decide between Virginia Beach Obstetrics & Gynecology and Tidewater Physicians for Women. This is my first baby, and I’ll be around 27 to 28 weeks when I establish care, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with either practice.

How were the doctors and staff? Did you feel listened to and well cared for throughout your pregnancy and delivery? If you could choose again, would you still go with the same practice?

I’d love to hear any recommendations or things you wish you had known before choosing. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a place to rent in the Suffolk, Chesapeake , Newport News or VB part of Virginia. I travel throughout Virginia for work and commute from North Carolina, so I’m open to different areas. My budget is around $1,000 a month or more just depends. I’m open to an apartment, townhome, house, in law suite, guest house, private room, or anything similar. I do have one dog, so it would need to be pet friendly. If anyone has something available or knows of anything, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello all, looking at buying some bulk soybeans? Anyone know where to get some? I checked Sams and Costco but did not see anything. Since there is no Winco foods here, I have also read Amish stores but this area does not have a huge community. I saw this Amish store in VB. I also read asian stores but I am trying to get 25lbs.

I have seen Azure standard as well. Thanks

tldr is the title but i’m going to do a little yapping

sorry if this isn’t allowed or if this somehow personally offends someone, im just seeking advice

my bf and i are 21(m&f) and we were just wondering what good places in the area are in order to go out and meet new people close to our age, preferably on the newport news side?

* we don’t drink, smoke, or anything like that
* our interests mostly consist of video games, books, yk the typical “nerdy” stuff. i also draw & i am intermediate at spanish
* we work part time but i also go to college part time
* we go to some events and meet some nice people, but usually they’re older and it is mostly just a brief conversation, nothing lasting or anything
* we also haven’t tried any apps as i figure they are mostly for dating

i was never good at making friends in school and he isn’t from around here, so it just seems harder to make friends as adults. it probably doesn’t help that i’m autistic and not particularly attractive, i wouldn’t say im ugly just pretty fat lol (working on it). maybe this is just part of being an adult and i’m not familiar with it yet?

i appreciate you whoever read my ramblings, if you have any suggestions please let me know 🙏

so due to the weather and the fact that it's storming an hour prior to the event time does anyone know if it's still going on or got cancelled?

My wife and I are developing a small homestead and are looking at dairy goats. Is there anywhere we could learn to milk before fully investing?

Who remembers back in the late 70s early 80s Huntington park in newport news having fire works and games for ribbons and stuff like that we would go there like all day and see the fire works at night ?

My husband and I are moving to the Hampton Roads area soon and were wondering what phone service providers people have used and which are best for these areas? We went to visit Newport News last week and our service wasn’t the best but we were further out away from a central location. TIA!

Recent college graduate and unfamiliar with the Hampton Roads area. I am starting a job in the area and plan on moving there. I am trying to figure out the best areas/apartment complexs to live in that are quiet, safe, and well-maintained. Trying to stay on the Hampton/Newport News/Williamsburg side of the tunnel as well. Any help or pointers are appreciated! Thanks!

Is anyone else in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area having trouble filling their Adderall (amphetamine salts) prescription?
I have a valid prescription for ADHD, and I’ve called multiple pharmacies without any luck because they’re all on backorder. My doctor said the shortage could continue for a few more months, so I’m trying to see if anyone has had success recently.
If you’ve been able to get your prescription filled, would you mind sharing which pharmacy (or chain) had it in stock? You don’t have to give an exact location if you’re not comfortable—just any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. This shortage has been really difficult to deal with.

I don't know who else to talk to, police said word isn't enough, and there were no cameras in the area. About 2 weeks ago, I went to an area near a pier (wont disclose, its my favorite fishing spot) and when i was walking out of the parking lot, some black SUV sped into the parking lot and the owner got out and started screaming at me. I'll try my best to describe him: White, fat, thick long-ish grey beard, short brown hair, and a red face. He started calling me a "hoodlum" and said he would shove his fingers in my... bottom... I was disgusted, and my mood to have a nice day fishing was instantly ruined. He said he could crush me, that he sells yachts for a living and that I'm "practically homeless". When I was getting in my car I heard him shout something like "you don't believe me, look me up i'm hank si-" and that's when my car door closed and couldn't hear him at all. I'm freaked out. I might have to find a new spot and I don't know if he thinks thats normal banter but someone needs to teach him a lesson. I'm deciding not to press charges if he's ever found in hopes he'll get better, but if he acts out on someone else, i guarantee that they'll press charges. Anyways, this is more so a warning to fishermen in the Hampton area, although this took place in Phoebus. Stay safe y'all!

On my daily excursions through the infrastructure, or lack thereof, of Hampton roads I see folks throwing giant bags of trash out of their windows. 7/11, wawa, McDonald's bags with the handles.

What's the deal with this? Trash cans are literally everywhere, and free to use. Takes the same amount of effort.

I'm looking into going to therapy. It will be my first time and wondering if anyone knows a good therapist in the area. Or, is online therapy another option.
