Wifi outage?

I'm a fios user and my router was yellow when i came home today in the National Landing area. Verizon's outage detector kept flipping back and forth about if there was an outage or not. It sometimes said "No outage detected" and sometimes said "outage detected, aiming to fix by noon tomorrow"

Anyone else having problems?

Hair Stylist that cuts long mens hair

I'm looking for a hair stylist in Arlington that can cut thick, longer hair. Typically have not had luck going to traditional barber shops because they mostly deal with shorter hair.

Any bars or pubs showing the Presidential Debate tomorrow?

I only found spots in DC, but hoping that there’s someplace in Arlington near a metro stop where I can bring some people who are visiting from overseas (to witness the good, the bad…and the ugly of the American election cycle). Thanks!

Car battery change

Does anyone know how to replace a car battery? I tried jumping a few times, but I guess it's fully dead. I phoned the towing company, but they charged me $140 for the 2.3-mile travel to the nearest mechanic shop. I know nothing about cars, and I have an older model, and when I searched around online, they stated it should take less than 10 minutes to replace.

AVA Ballston Square vs Cortland Rosslyn

Hey folks, I’m a Single 27M current Rosslyn resident looking to upgrade my apartment. I’ve narrowed my choices down to two apartments: AVA Ballston Square and Cortland Rosslyn West building. Rent is comparable, both have balconies, parking for my car, and around 670 sq ft. Factors I’m considering is the neighborhood vibes, dating scene, local gyms, food, bars, cost-of-living, metro access (I like going into the city). Wanted to ask if anyone had opinions on these buildings to help me factor into my decision?

1800 Oak Rosslyn

Hi everyone,

My roommate and I are moving to the area this coming November. We toured 1800 Oak a few weeks ago and really liked the complex, but we didn't get the chance to ask all of our typical touring questions. If any residents are active on this sub, please reach out! We have a few questions we'd like to ask residents.

For example, it seems like there's a trash fee based on total building usage, rather than personal usage. We're wondering how much residents tend to pay for this bill.

Thanks in advance :)

Buy in Maywood or wait for Courthouse/Clarendon opportunity?

Hello!

Recently I have been looking for a 2bd 2ba condo/townhouse. My budget is 700-900k…

Every time something good comes up in Courthouse/Clarendon it sells really fast, like almost 3 day average..

Recently a cute townhouse came up for sale in Maywood and it has everything we need from inside (new appliances, freshly renovated) but it does not when the same feel as Courthouse/Clarendon/Rosslyn area.

Both me and my partner are in late 20s and like the metro access (we do have a car) and how walkable courthouse/clarendon is but we also know that this is not a forever home. Maywood property offers much more space than 2bd/2ba condo while being little out of the way.

Renting wise, not sure which ones would be better, condo in heart of Arlington or a family style townhouse in Maywood. HOA is also a difference, average condo is asking for $650-750 whole townhouses are around $200-350.

Any info helps…

Spanish for Beginners

Any recommendations on where to take in person Spanish classes? I’m not a true beginner (I understand a lot), but I have difficulty speaking. I’m looking for practical classes that focus more on speaking practice than the other basics.

Hello! I continue with my little research before relocating.

How’s the environment at the HQ? How’s your workload overall?

I know this depends a lot on different teams and that’s why I wanted to ask a plural audience here.

Planning to relo there as BA as peak L5 or after the L6 , in about a year

Thanks!

AFAC needs volunteers!

If you ever wanted to volunteer at a great local charity but weren't sure where to start ... please sign up to be a volunteer at then Arlington Food Assistance Center! They feed thousands of struggling families in the community.

Back to school is a tough time since not as many people show up. They need help bagging and sorting food (chicken or dry goods). You can also sign up to distribute food to folks if you want.

Bar, restaurant with quirky history

Is there a bar or restaurant with a fun fact or quirky history about it? Somewhere you could take someone and brag that the bar is the oldest bar in Arlington or the first person ever served was X, it used to be a book store and now it’s a bar…something like that? Would love anything!

Does Arlington have a Japanese community?

Hello everyone!

I am thinking of moving to the Arlington area and was wondering if there is any type of Japanese community around here? My wife is Japanese so she is wondering if she'll be able to find friends and/other people in a similar situation!

If not Arlington, are there any areas around that have it?

Also how is the life like in Arlington?

Thank you so much everyone!

Help! Balling on a budget

What are the odds that I can find a $1,300 a month rental near a metro station in Arlington, VA? (This is half my take-home pay. Luckily I expect to make more in the near future).

Facebook marketplace does not have many listings.
