There are 3 goats/lambs with a police car behind it. This feels weird then I realize the Lamb Center is opening up soon(ish) and there were a few homeless people around the area. Is this a promotion because it’s an odd way to do it.
my parents have decided very last minute that they will not pay for living on campus. because of the big beautiful bill i no longer recieve the pell grant like i did last year which has actually doubled tuition. i live in ladysmith. i can either commute or get an apartment. i will live with 6 people if i need to. i really dont want to commute because i fall asleep while driving. i would prefer to live with women/lgbtq people.
Friends, I need help. My daughter’s mom has gotten to a point where she has lost control of her space. We are in need of someone who can go in for a day and clean and organize and set her back to a good spot. Any suggestions?
Hey everyone,
I'm a 25M living in fairfax and looking to head out to some nightclubs or lively bars tonight for the holiday weekend. This is actually my first time ever experiencing the local nightlife scene, so I'm really excited to check it out!
None of my usual crew are free tonight, so I'm looking to either join an existing group or pull together a few people who want to head out together (males or females welcome).
Down for either Clarendon (maybe the Rooftop Bash at Clarendon Ballroom, B Social, or The Renegade) or heading into DC if people prefer that vibe. I'm totally open to suggestions since I'm new to the clubs here!
A bit about me: chill, easygoing, working in software/tech, and just looking to have a fun, safe night, grab a drink, and meet some cool people.
If you or your group are heading out tonight and don't mind a first-timer tag-along, drop a comment or shoot me a DM! Let's link up. 🍻
I was driving on 66 from Leesburg Pike entry ramp where emerged with the toll road and as I was driving on the on-ramp, I hear this really really loud sound that sounded like a military machine behind me to my left. I was already doing about 70 and I see cruise by me like I was standing still a white tractor trailer with an open trailer on the back carrying 16 or 20 of those concrete barriers they put on the side of highways on its bed one row high. He was in the part of the plane approximately 10:30 PM on Wednesday night. He was switching lanes with no blinker and moving around like it was a Mazda Miata. And I would’ve guessed at the time I was doing about 90 miles an hour. I also wanted to be in the left lane so I caught in the left lane behind it and about two minutes later two things occurred to me. 1- tractor trailers are prohibited from driving on 66 towards DC inside the beltway and 2- I looked at my speedometer to check my speed and I was doing 81 or 82 miles an hour and the tractor trailer was pulling away from me. I wasn’t even close to keeping up with it. It was at that point that I figured something was way off about this erratic driving multiple times switching lanes going around people and maintaining a speed of at least 90 maybe 95 miles an hour. I was getting off at the Ballston stop(to get some Andy’s pizza shout out to Andy’s pizza the fucking best pizza ever!) and so prior to getting there I said I needed to get a look at this motherfucker so I hit the gas. I drive an F150. It’s got a sport mode and I hit 100 miles an hour and I was at that point keeping up with this truck and I pulled into the right lane so I could look and see him. The windows were a little too tinted to see the person inside and then it pulled away from me and that’s when I got off at my exit.
Now I am no narc. If I see something I do not say something generally speaking.I mind my business and I don’t turn people in that are doing things that I just think are weird not necessarily an obvious crime, that being said I won’t walk by someone getting raped or assaulted or obviously being taken advantage of without doing something. I consider myself complicit and responsible for allowing that, but if you look suspicious, you’re allowed to look suspicious as that is not a crime and I am not paid by the FBI or local police to do their jobs is my point.
All that to say this, though, I did call nonemergency to report this, and I gotta be honest a little disappointed with the with the response I got I got a very slow transfer from Arlington County PD who you would think would give a fuck and it was in their jurisdiction for sure, but instead, I was put on hold and by the time I got to state police this guy I’ve had to have been well into DC if he was taking 66 across the river. The other shocking thing is that time at night that’s a very long stretch of road for not one police officer to have seen not only the truck driving erratic, but the sheer fact that there are never any tractor trailers on 66. I took it for years and I knew that they weren’t allowed to be tractor-trailers but if you didn’t know that you would it would occur to you when you see this truck that something’s off because even subconsciously you know you’ve never seen a tractor trailer on 66. Can you only imagine what the traffic would be like if there was fucking tractor trailers!!??
Anyways, I guess I am a narc… I’m just not proud of it and I feel like telling everyone that. But also was interested in knowing did anyone else see this and if so, what’s your take on it? Am I nuts?
My family is asking for the community's help.
On Monday, June 22, 2026, at around 3:00 PM, my mom was struck by a car while she was walking. The accident happened near the intersection of Little River Turnpike (Route 236) and Annandale Road.
I'm attaching a photo of my mom taken before the accident, along with what she was wearing that day, in case it helps anyone remember seeing her.
My mom is currently on life support with multiple life-threatening injuries. The driver has stated that they did not hit her and that she dove out of the way. However, given the severity of her injuries and the damage to the vehicle, our family is seeking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has independent evidence that could help clarify what happened.
We also believe there are important questions that remain unanswered, which is why we asked the police for the investigation to be reopened. If you were in the area around that time, or know someone who was, please reach out.
If you witnessed any part of the accident, have dashcam footage, videos, photos, or any information that could help us understand what happened, please contact me by:
•Sending me a DM
•Email: cupothy14@outlook.com
•Phone/Text: (657) 377-2779
Even the smallest detail could be helpful to my family.
Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and willingness to help. Please feel free to share this post with anyone who may have been in the area around that time.
I'm moving to the area soon. The bars that have dartboards, do they have more than one and, if so do they use raised oches or just a tape on the floor?
Why LA fitness near Burlington permanently closed? Anyone know?

If anyone is willing to share what the hiring process is like there what skills matter most or even potentially refer me or point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond.

A little more info about Fred: friendly, good with other dogs
I’ll add that Fred isn’t the only dog urgently in need of a foster home. Homeward Trails is seeking foster homes for 11 other dogs.

How much should I expect to be deducted from the final sale price? Is 8% reasonable - say 6% for total real estate commission (listing agent plus buyer’s agent) and another 2% for other fees?
Hello!
I am the organizer for the upcoming NOVA Organizing Fair, which is a place for the public to meet activists across Northern Virginia and learn how to get involved in their various endeavors.
Over 15 organizations will be attending, and I hope you attend! It's free and open to the public.
It's on July 5th, from 12 to 4 PM at Arlington Central Library. Masks are required.
More details can be found at our linktree here: https://linktr.ee/novaorganizerfair
I’m curious to know if any of you have identified restaurants in the area that add additional fees to you bill when it comes time to pay. Whether in the form of automatic gratuity, non-cash payment fees, venue fees, staff wellness charge, or whatever before taxes. There was a time when aggregate costs were rolled into the price of the food. Now, it seems like a false pricing scheme to lure clients. You pay $20 for an entree on the menu, but the total price before tax turns into $26.
