We recently moved to the area and are looking for a good vet office that has affordable rates. One that can do emergency surgeries and such would be a optimal. We have cats and dogs.
I'm looking for people willing to sit down for an interview and tell me about unusual experiences they've had.
I'm interested in UFO/UAP encounters, strange creatures, ghosts/hauntings, missing time, bizarre encounters in the woods, unexplained events, strange coincidences, possible abductions, and anything else that left you thinking "what the hell was that?"
You don't have to believe your experience was paranormal. I'm interested in hearing the story as you experienced it, including people who aren't sure what happened.
I'm based in Hampton Roads / Southeastern Virginia, and I'm especially interested in finding people locally, but I'm open to stories from anywhere.
No judgment, no ridicule, and anonymity is available.
If you have a story you'd be willing to talk about, DM me. Even if you're not sure your experience is "weird enough," I'd still love to hear about it.
And if you know someone with a story, tag them or send this their way
I confess to being amazed that there isn’t at least one wonderfully quirky used bookstore here. I LOVE all the new bookstores here for sure! But there’s something about browsing in a used bookstore that delights me…
The Department of Justice announced Monday that it’s investigating whether William & Mary used students’ race to award scholarships and other program spots.
Under President Donald Trump’s second term, the DOJ and U.S. Department of Education have broadly interpreted the 2023 Supreme Court ruling banning race-conscious admissions policies to bar schools from awarding scholarships and other program spots to underrepresented students.
The DOJ claims it is investigating whether William & Mary violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race-based discrimination in federally funded programs.

Good day all, I’m not sure if this is the right sub for this but I figured I’d give it a shot. I’m a 33 (as of two days ago) year old man who moved up here at the end of last year, I’m curious if there are any specific bars or clubs in the area where people usually go to meet folks? I’d also be curious to know if there are any local hiking clubs in the area as I’d love to get out and explore the trails!
Thanks for your time everyone!
Looking for recommendations on the laundromat with the cleanest washers/dryers. Due to visitors, I have mountain of bed linens and bath linens (towels, rugs).
Hello Williamsburg, just moved here from Hawaii and would like to start a new DnD campaign. I run 5/5.5e home brew and welcome anyone wanting to play in person. If you’re interested just send me a message.
I need an annual inspection, and possibly help with remounting a mini split.
Not sure yet if I can do the mini split myself or not. It's tilted the wrong way and not draining properly. The house might have settled, or it may have been a crappy installation from the start. Possibly both.
Thanks in advance!
So I’ve tried for years to get a Grove specific fantasy football league going and I just can’t get people interested. I’ve got 8 more spots if you’re interested send me a message!
Thanks!
Edit: No “FindaLeague” isn’t a place I want to post because I’d rather it be a local group…..to whom ever requested I post there.
Is there anywhere in Williamsburg that does permanent bracelets?
I have a permanent bracelet that fell off and I’d like to get it repaired
Moxie keeps coming around on their unicycles. I hear Marks and Landlock are the go-to but thought I'd ask. Tried searching and there doesn't seem to be a newer post with pest control options.
The projected replacement cost for Williamsburg’s downtown library has risen to at least $30 million, driven by soaring material and labor expenses. It’s a $5 million increase over last year's estimates.
Despite efforts to cut costs by shrinking the building's footprint and using cheaper exterior materials, total expenses will reach $37 million once furniture and technology are included.
While some residents express concern over growing debt and advocate for renovating the current 50-year-old facility, library director Sandy Towers maintains that a new building is necessary to serve nearly 8,000 weekly visitors.

Hello! I just moved back to the area and I’m looking for someone to ball with at the courts outside the WISC. Preferably women, but definitely will play with men that are willing. I grew up ballin with everyone. I would be looking to play for about an hour on a weekday afternoon. I’m not trying to go hard, but a little friendly competition would be nice.
If you’re interested, send me a message!
How are those three story townhomes near market square selling? They identified building deficiencies (not for all) that required 30k-40k in repairs, prompting the HOA to drop the 100% maintenance free setup so owners could own the repairs. Is this being disclosed to potential buyers?
Anyone know of anywhere in Williamsburg that does sewing classes?
Any location recommendations for an elopement (couple + 4)? My fiancee and I were planning a ceremony/vow exchange in Williamsburg, VA. We were going to go with the Williamsburg Botanical Gardens, but we missed the "4-week before event" reservation requirement. It is going to be just us, our two girls, officiant, and photographer but a permit is still required there unfortunately.
The Perseid Meteor shower is supposed to be really impressive the next few days! Does anyone know a good place to watch it? All the advice I'm seeing just says "go somewhere dark and look up". Specific recommendations for parks that will be open and what direction to look would be greatly appreciated!
It was posted for 4 minutes and she deleted it and blocked me. I have no idea who she is but was very disturbed by the video so I decided to msg some of her family to make the situation aware. It absolutely broke my heart. I want to know how to report this because I am seriously concerned about the child’s safety and well-being. In the video she posted on facebook, the adult male repeatedly handles the baby in a rough and concerning manner, including lifting and physically manipulating the child, bending the child backward over his knee, and holding the child in an awkward/partially inverted position. He is also yelling aggressively at the baby and verbally insulting the child, including calling the baby a ‘piece of shit.’ The child appears distressed during the interaction. I have no personal connection to this family and do not know their identities or circumstances. I came across this video online and felt the behavior was concerning enough that it should be reviewed by the appropriate child-safety authorities. What should I do. Lmk if you want the video
