r/nova

Hello! I need advice folks. I have spent the past few Sundays at sports bars in Reston and Fairfax and have not seen any groups/singles with people in their early thirties outside of couples at the sports bars.

I am a woman and would love to find other women my age who love watching the NFL games, but I know that’s a longer shot. I also would love to meet guys naturally in-person vs on the dating apps.

➡️ Ultimately, which sports bars have tons of tvs, show all of the 1:00 games, and have a younger crowd with people in their thirties???

I left Lorton at 4:30PM and got home in Woodbridge at 5:50PM. It’s normally a 20 minute drive. This traffic is absolutely criminal.

just got out of the military and sticking around the nova area for probably 1-2 more years, and currently going through the transition phase getting a new docs for everything. Historically, have very neg things to say about dentists in general (one says cavity, one says no cavities, stab me with metal and i bleed and its my fault for "not flossing enough" kinda stuff).

+ bonus points if they can take blue cross insurance and don't try to upsell me on anything

Did anyone else go to the Chris Stapleton concert at Jiffy Lube Live last night (10/2/26)?

If so, does anyone know why they closed ALL of the permanent bathrooms before 10pm and made everyone use the port-a-potties in the mud?

They also made people with drinks in cans pour them
out into cups before they could be seated... My husband was told by an employee it was to prevent people from throwing cans on the stage, but wouldn't that really only be necessary to make people do if they're in the pit? 🤨

Edit: It was a FANTASTIC show! I'd just never seen the bathroom or cans situation at any venue before, including JLL.

Hi everyone, my fiancé and I are looking to move into an apartment/townhome/condo together before the end of the year and we are feeling hesitant since there are so many different options to choose from with varying reviews. If anyone has had any good experiences within the past 6 months, or are currently happy with their living situation, I'd love to hear your thoughts and any recommendations

Here is our criteria:

1. Budget $1,900-2,100 for base rent
2. In-unit washer & dryer
3. 1-bedroom or more
4. Ideally, no more than $150/month parking spot fee
5. Ideally, no more than a 15-minute walk to nearest metro station (for commuting purposes)

*Would be nice to be somewhere that offers an attached gym and pool, but def not a deal breaker

Thanks to all in advance!

Edit: Whoops, forgot to mention - we're looking preferably in the Alexandria, Arlington, Springfield, Fairfax, and Falls Church areas

Does any one have experience and /or recommendations for a company, that’s not ADT, that does installation of residential CCTV cameras?

We have a 6 year old HIK camera CCTV that was installed by ADT but the NVR (? name) is outdated and now we can’t go back and replay videos from past events.

We don’t think a swap of the NVR will work, and we want to update to newer cameras anyway.

TIA.
