I lived in Atlanta years ago and whenever I wanted a slice of cake, I would go to a specific bakery for their cake slices. Since living here I haven’t found a good replacement? No fancy flavors, just good old fashioned cake flavors. Help! lol
Just heard what sounded like gunshots or fireworks or something. I think I saw flashes of light as well. It happened like 4-5 times in a row. I’m wondering what’s going on.
I’ve posted about this before, but yet to find the right option for me. The vets here are just too damn expensive!
Anyone have vet recommendations for the broader NOVA area? Considering pricing, availability/hours, and also understanding in how they speak to and treat you ?
I have a car and am willing to drive ~2 hours if needed, to avoid spending $1k on fixing and more on necessary tests / vaccines for my young cat. I refuse to be extorted because of rent prices / operating costs in the DC area, and would like to hear about non-emergent options in the broader VA or MD area that won’t break my bank and have good reputation. Thanks!
I’m really liking what I hear about Arlington, and I’m going to get an Airbnb and check it out next weekend.
But I’d like to hear some recommendations, advice, and guidance because, well — this will be my first place, and first time in a city, and I currently live 2 hours away…
First thing, the elephant in the room; it’s expensive. I originally was looking at moving to Atlanta, but it’s a bit far and seems like a huge leap that I’m not so sure I’m prepared for. But I thought Atlanta was expensive, Arlington is nuts!
So it seems I’ll have to substantially increase my rent budget from $2500 to $3000 minimum for a 2-bedroom apartment. Unless there is something I’m unaware of. What would you guys recommend in terms of location? I’d like to be in a walkable part if possible.
Another question of mine is it worth it? For context, I’m 24m, single, introverted, and work from home. I was raised in West Chester, PA, which is a very small town, and I kind of liked it, but it’s very boring if you don’t like college parties. I make around $140k a year and can live anywhere. Also, I’ve never lived in a city before. Only suburban, and for the last 5 years, I’ve lived in rural Delaware. So I’d like to hear other people’s thoughts based on that info.
And lastly, what should I do and what should I check out while I’m there for the weekend? What do you think would help me decide if it’s right for me?
I’d appreciate any and all advice! Thanks in advance.

Hey all! I’m looking for a place in Arlington that does eyelash extensions, specifically for reasonably priced refills. I don’t mind paying a premium if it means finding a reliable place I can become a regular at!
Would love to hear about any favorite spots in the area and personal recommendations—where do you all go for great lash extensions? Thanks in advance!
Relatively new to the area, what bars do people usually go to on Halloween? Is it better to go Thursday (actual Halloween) or Friday/saturday?
Hi all, doing family photos with my wife and our 1 year old in a week. Looking for any suggestions in Arlington, outside to make use of the nice foliage and such, around 3 pm. I was thinking around Theodore Roosevelt Island or the trail, but hoping to find maybe something a little more secluded. Thanks!
Hello! Looking to find a Catholic Church or Orthodox with people in my age range—mid twenties. Trying to find good religious leadership, role models, and friends.
I'm staying with family in Arlington for about a week for Thanksgiving. Haven't been there in 10 years, since I was basically a child with no ability to pick and choose what I wanted to do.
I know it's not exactly a town renowned for it's vibrant night life or anything, but I was wondering if there are any cool locations/activities/day trips someone would recommend? I'm not that keen on staying in the house the whole time although I do love my family.
I love history, so any historical sites/musuems would be nice. I like nice walks/forests/parks. I like live music and nice chatty bars. I like quirky bookstores or antiquarian occult stuff. I'm basically just a typical gal in my mid 20s with limited access to transportation, so preferably somewhere I could get via walking / bus / uber would be ideal.
Lmk if anything comes to mind, like I said, I know virtually nothing about the area except that I have family there.
EDIT: nvm i watched the rap video i know everything i need to know i guess
Particularly for an indoor volleyball league
People from Arlington do you really trust having DARPA in downtown Ballston. Word on the street is they created a V2K implant and are implanting all of you. If this is true this is not good. It means everyone in Arlington is mind controlled by the NSA.
Gaging interest | Gauging interest as I’m gonna be in several cities for work. And I work in the event planning space-ish. Oh and I love pickleball
Hello-
Recently moved across the river from MoCo where I'd gotten used to the weird DLC system for getting desirable bottles of whiskey. Whether it was lottery systems or drop days, I knew how to give myself the best chance of getting Eagle Rare or Blantons or other special bottles.
Does such a system exist in the Commonwealth?
I'm moving to the Arlington area in a few months. Does anyone know anything about Ballston Park? I'm either going to move there or to Roslyn hights. I know Ballston Park is a little bit cheaper but I have no clue why. Any information is appreciated
The NIMBY local civic association, Aurora Highlands, is trying to block this project.
Jordanian specifically if possible. Please DM me if interested
Moving to Arlington (Ballston or Clarendon area) in November and looking for long term parking for my truck. Any ideas? Spot hero does not seem to have much for 24/7 access that is suitable for a truck.
Looking to buy a home in between the Ashton Heights and VA Square areas. Any current residents who would be able to provide a review of the area? Very much appreciated!
