I don't know how many people here are aware, or concerned about these things, but they're bad for trees, and Blacksburg has so many beautiful and well taken care of trees. Because of the efforts of many, their spread into this area has been slower than many places, but I saw gangs of these nymphs right by Stadium Woods. If you know, you know, but if you're curious, just Google "Spotted Lantern Fly".
Hey! Just reminding folks about the Stand Up Comedy Show on Saturday at McClain's. It's gonna be a really good time. Heather Joyce is coming down from Fredericksburg to headline. She is awesome. Her jokes are nerdy but accessible. She has been featured in countless comedy festivals. She is definitely one of our favorite up-and-comers. Come see her while I can still afford to host her!
See Lowe is a comic from Roanoke VA. He has been in the business for about a decade and it shows. He mixes wild insights with silly physical comedy and knows how to play with the crowd to get everyone howling. Even though is is local, this is a special treat. He is usually on the road hitting stages across VA, TN, and NC. Come see him on his home field.
Christinia Tynes is one of my favorite comics. She has not been at it long, but her dedication to writing and performing shines through. Come see what new jokes she has to share with us.
Also we will have a surprise guest from the Comedy Conglomerate at VT, the student club that is a hotbed of rising talent.
This is gonna be one of those shows where you look back and think - "holy sh!t I saw them before they were famous!"
T!cket linknin comments.
Also I am a real person so you can ask questions, discuss, and request shows if you want!
I'm thinking of Townside, CMG, River Mountain Properties, etc...
Which ones are most responsive and honest versus maybe which ones are the worst?
Didn’t it close down during COVID? And no one has ever tried to bring a new restaurant into this awesome location? Roof top dining, y’all!!!
It’s weird how there are so many empty buildings/spaces in downtown Blacksburg.
My husband and I are moving to Blacksburg in July or August and are looking for a realtor to help us find a place to rent! Please please reach out if you’re a realtor or have a rec!!
The wait would have been justified today for the overpriced drinks if you guys weren't like this every single day.
This is why that Hardee's closed, people. Nobody works here because they pay crap wages and there's nowhere else to go. Yay!
We're gonna have some fun this Saturday night! Heather Joyce will be headlining with her very witty and pretty nerdy jokes. See Lowe features with his high-energy physical comedy. The show will kick off with the quick and dark Christinia Tynes. Also appearing is a guest comic from the Comedy Conglomerate at VT! See the comments for the t!cket l!ink.

Hey everyone,
My family and I recently launched a Virginia-based environmental nonprofit called the Society for a Secure and Sustainable Water Future (S4SSWF), and we’re currently looking for volunteers who are interested in sustainability, environmental policy, media, outreach, nonprofit work, or water security.
Our work focuses heavily on rainwater harvesting, water sustainability, environmental education, and advocacy. Over the years, we’ve been involved in real-world rainwater harvesting implementation projects and advocacy efforts connected to Virginia legislation and public awareness initiatives surrounding sustainable water infrastructure. We are actually currently preparing for a project with GMU.
Right now we’re trying to build a strong volunteer network and are looking for self-motivated people who want to help us grow.
Some of the areas we’re recruiting for include:
Most roles are flexible-hour and results-based. We understand people are busy, so we’re not micromanaging volunteers or expecting corporate-style schedules. We’re mainly looking for passionate people who care about sustainability and want to contribute where they can.
Volunteer hours can also be provided for students.
Examples of projects and goals:

She’s so nice on the surface level, but she’s a narcissist and emotionally abuses her employees. She will isolate individuals and humiliate them in groupchats. She exposes people’s private issues. She does not have a proper training system, and faults the employees for their lack of not knowing when really it is her fault. There are severe health concerns when it comes to food safety. She has left cooked eggs out overnight, and I know people who have gotten sick. She claims “baked fresh” and will leave things in the displays for WEEKS. Worst of all, she says baked fresh and she really just buys from Sysco and calls it her own. Don’t fall into her lure; she has serious issues. She cares more about her ego then any customer or employee.
My friend’s cat has been missing for 2 days near Wildflower Ln and Progress St NW (near the roundabout).
She is tabby and white. She is very quiet, mellow, and very friendly with people.
Please DM me if you see her. Thank you so much for your help!
I live in C’burg, but this sub is bigger, and some of these potential places are in B’burg anyway.
I am looking to get something booked for my GF for her birthday in a few weeks.
She’s overly stressed out, etc. and I thought like a massage/whatever happens at a spa would be something cool to get her.
I don’t know dick about this kind of thing, and I can’t tell what places are good for this (most of these spots have 5 or 4.9 stars on Google).
There’s a couple places like Pink Crush or Allure Aesthetics in Blacksburg.
There’s this place in Radford called The Whole You.
C’burg has Mindful Touch (I considered Oasis, but I don’t know wtf a “Head Spa” means and I think full body might be of more use).
There’s even a couple places in Floyd, but I don’t really want her to have to drive that far for this.
Anyhow, can someone help out a clueless dude on this? I’ve only ever gotten her physical-type gifts, never a service-oriented one.
The high-pressure summer pest control sales reps are back.
A dude named Lincoln went door-to-door in my neighborhood. He claimed my neighbors use their services (didn't give me the name of the service) and mumbled the names of the neighbors. When I said I already had a pest control service, he would not take that as an answer, so I slammed the door in his face. One of my neighbors asked for his business card, and don't you know, he's all out.
I did some research, and here are the red flags:
What I should have done was ask for a copy of their door to door sales permit, but I didn't. Then I could have reported them to the town.
Be wary y'all.
Where are some places where i can hang on my hammock? Are there any hammock stands within and nearby blacksburg?
