You can't watch the news or scroll online without reading about the data center industry in the U.S., but you may not know what is happening in our own backyard. Whether you are well-informed about the dozen or more approved data centers here or if you are just hearing about it for the first time, you are invited to a public meeting at the LaPrade Library Community Room at 6:00 pm on Monday, July 13th for a short Power Point and discussion.

Does anyone know if you’re allowed to use the track field at the Chesterfield Technical Center. Looking into running there but I don’t want to get in trouble. I know the Pickleball Courts are accesible for a fee but couldn’t find concrete info on the track. Thanks!

Garage, shed, deck (with precautions) just anywhere animals, kids or thieves can’t mess with it.

It’s gonna be very hot this week and will help not to heat up the house at dinner time

Yes, I know microwaves and grills too, I just want to bring up something people might not have thought of.

My husband and I have been trying to buy a house in the midlo area, preferably 23114 zip, as we are expecting our first baby in December and we have family in this area planning to help. We live in northside right now and are financially established. We’ve had a really tough time so far and feeling discouraged! We’ve been looking since May and have so far put offers in on two homes and lost them both. Each house received offers of a really high amount over asking that we can’t seem to compete with, we’ve been the first offer both times. Most recent house in Walton Lake neighborhood going minimum 40k over asking with escalations which is at the very high end of what the house is worth. House was listed at 595k and we went up to 630k with no contingencies but were still out bid. Budget is +/- 650k hoping for a 4-5 bedroom updated home, is this not reasonable? Is this market dynamic normal for the area? Trying to figure out if we just need to account for a higher bid going forward or if this will slow down some. TIA

*Edit: We are unable to do it ourselves and need to hire someone so we need help figuring out contractor pricing and what did you spend it on vs just ballpark numbers?

In search of finding a group or some other expecting moms! I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant (27F) and looking to meet some pregnant or new moms. I don’t know anyone nearby with kids, and I’d love to build a support system/community before I deliver. Open to any suggestions on how/where to meet other expecting moms in the area.

I’m moving to Midlothian towards the end of July and I plan on moving my stuff into a storage unit. Are there any affordable movers you can recommend for this job?

Looking to get some cute pots for some indoor plants and hoping for somewhere local to check out. I know there’s Plant House in Scotts but was hoping to find somewhere a little closer if possible.
