County records show a company connected to Highbrook Investors, a real estate private equity firm, has started zoning paperwork for new data center construction at 14790 Flint Lee Road in Chantilly, just northeast of the Cub Run Rec Center and Westfield High School.

It hasn’t been approved by the county yet. In March, Highbrook announced the creation of a $266 million data center fund targeting Northern Virginia.

I’m going through a really stressful time right now and trying to find a good divorce lawyer in Fairfax, VA. I honestly don’t know where to start, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations from people who had a positive experience with someone trustworthy and understanding. Thank you.

Hello, would anyone have recommendations of a cpa in Fairfax/ Mclean area?

Hi everyone — this is hard for me to post, but I’m a single mom of 3 trying my best to stay afloat. I’ve been job searching for 9 months with no luck, while doing DoorDash, babysitting, and side gigs to get by.
I’m also trying to start a small coffee/ matcha pop-up business to create something stable for my family. I made a small wishlist of supplies to help me get started, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any support, advice, or even shares.
Not looking for pity- just trying to build a better future for my kids. Thank you for reading.

I’m an artist working on a project about the impact of AI data centers (for things like ChatGPT / Grok / Anthropic / LLMS etc)

Particularly any noise that might affect folks that live nearby...
is it loud, is it totally fine?

Anyone here live near one?

If so, I’d love to ask you a couple of quick qs, and if possible get an audio recording of what’s it like.

Who seriously thinks this guy was a good choice? The fact he let a man who tried to kidnap a 4 year old walk and the mother of that child had to call ICE to protect her is one more example of many why he is a twisted incompetent buffoon.

Throwaway account.

For almost a year now LDC DC has been terribly mismanaged and the employee have been used and abused by the current GM. The current management has put employees and guests at constant risk by refusing to fix clear and obvious safety issues that have been REPEATEDLY brought to their attention by both staff and guests over the past year. Some (but not all) of these issues include:

- Mold in the 4D fog machines

- Dirty and damaged mascot suits that have made multiple members of staff sick from wearing them.

- Lack of proper ride training and ensuring of competence before certifying staff on the dark ride.

- Lack of proper training on fire safety and evacuation procedures.

- Sewage water in the Hero Zone playground that the General Manager and Regional Manager forced the staff to reopen despite being improperly “cleaned” due to a corporate visit from Lego.

And this isn’t even mentioning how the General Manager has covered up thefts at this location, violated labor laws by retaliating against any employees who dare be open about their concerns (even expressly telling some employees they aren’t allowed to utilize official channels to report his misconduct), hired his personal friends into various positions to spy on his employees, and so much more.

The staff of LDC DC have tried every official, proper channel to have something done about this, but thusfar nothing has ever come of it as the members of Merlin’s HR staff (though I suppose I should say former as they are now technically Lego HR staff) are quite keen on shielding the General Manager and his friends from any accountability for the hostile, abusive, and unsafe working conditions they have brewed. So, this is my last resort. This is my last go at having something done and hoping this attraction can return to the happy place it once was. Please, internet, I know I may be screaming into the void here but I’m out of options. Please help.

EDIT: Forgot to mention how the GM has fired people he doesn’t like/think will whistleblow for comically petty reasons while covering up the fact his close, personal friend, the commercial manager, provably stole a $500 set and faced no consequences. Or the Operations Manager breaking ride evacuation protocol with no consequences. Or the Bookings Coordinator also breaking ride safety protocols with no consequences.

Worth mentioning also is how he and all the above mentioned staff cannot do a single aspect of their jobs without ChatGPT. Every email and document they write is created with it.

Hello! I haven’t had much luck with some of the dog walking companies in the area. I haven’t a 5 1/2 month old hound and a 6 year old hound. The 6 year old can be particular, so it’s important for us that it would be the same walker every day so they can build a relationship.

I would prefer an independent dog walker, but I’m not opposed to a company. I just would need to ensure it’s the same walker daily. Recommendations are most welcome!

Around approximately 3:27PM today I got a call from my daughter’s teacher that my child was involved in a hit and run.

She described it has a “bad bump”
WHOEVER DROVE should’ve stayed but didn’t. Her teacher didn’t see the plate.

We all make mistakes, but accountability is necessary. If anyone saw it please DM me.

Maybe we can get the city to install a traffic camera.
