I had noticed a few months ago that there was an ABC notice on the door, and now they've set up the cart corrals, and signs for pickup areas in the parking lot.

Does anybody else's apartment complex use Conservice for Water/Sewer billing? They appear to be charging a $4.50 convience fee for "consolidating bills" but are actually just billing me for water/sewer. A $4.50 additional charge for a ~$20 water/sewer bill seems like a junk fee. Any experience in disputing this charge?

hi everyone! i just found out that apparently there will be a huge geomagnetic storm tonight, and that arlington is one of the places where it will be visible. i want to take my wife somewhere we can see it clearly (we’ve never lived anywhere that they’re actually visible so this will be a first for us). i was thinking maybe driving to a park outside the city to try and watch them, but it’s supposed to be peak visibility between 10pm-2am, and i’m sure most parks are closed and locked up by then. any suggestions? thanks!

Any chance they get any sort of dog park “refs”. I see an aggressive dog encounter a few times a week and my dog has been attacked unprovoked twice up there. There’s nobody who enforces the “aggressive dogs on a leash rule” and repeat offenders keep showing up. It’s unfortunate because the dog park is really nice and ideal especially with the long walk but aggressive dogs with dickhead owners go unchecked. I’ve met people who’ve had their dogs bit by the same white and brown husky with the same owner description. Are there any large outdoor dog parks nearby that have people that actually enforce the rules? You could take a Rottweiler with rabies to Shirlington with no consequences.

Does anybody have an old keyboard or electric piano collecting dust? I'm a GW student that just moved near Court House for my masters. I'd love to keep up my music but don't have any means to practice. I really appreciate any leads.

Got an employer issued HRA card with several thousands and it's expiring in 2 weeks. God's been good I haven't had any reason to go to a hospital for years.

Anyone idea how I can spend some of that cash before it's gone?

I am new to the area and am looking for anyone that may know of any local tattoo shops that do flash Friday the 13th tattoo sales or quick sales in the area. Any information is appreciated. Thank you!

What is going on I am scared 😱

Hi all,

I am new to the city, and I am hoping to find a good restaurant for dinner that has a good ambiance and food while not breaking the bank.

If there are any good cocktail bar recommendations, I would appreciate that too.

Thanks y'all!

Hey everyone! I'm looking to get an apartment, move in date Nov 1st.

I'm looking for a nice apartment but mostly I want to be in a central area. Ideally within walking distance of main part and around people and other complexes. The nicer, the better. Does anyone have a lead on any good deals? My budget after everything (utilities and parking) can't be more than 2,600 dollars a month. Ideally, I pay less than that. Also need a parking space lol.

Musts in order of desire:

Located in an area it's easy for me to take daily walks and get to main areas.
Balcony
Nice amenities (work space, recreational space, outdoor areas/pool)
Space

I saw a few places with a fireplace. That would be a dream. I'm going to wait a little bit longer to try and see some better deals closer to the end of September, but would appreciate any and all advice! Even better if you have a place or complex in mind!

Hi all, Relatively new to the DMV area and would love any recommendations on possible areas to live. Currently living in Ellicott City, MD but need to relocate as I just accepted a job near Ballston Exchange. Spouse will split time between work locations in Crofton and Laurel, MD. We know the commute is going to be rougher for one of us. Any recommendations on areas we should look at moving to? Looking to rent a townhouse in a safe/nice area. TIA for any suggestions!

Affordable dental cleanings!!!

Hello, I am a dental hygiene student at NOVA in Springfield and I am looking for patients that would like to have their teeth cleaned for 35$ with no insurance needed! The appointments are 3 1/2h long spread over 3+ appointments due to the fact that we are a learning institution but we are really thorough and we are checked at every step by an instructor. The price of 35$ its a one time fee and includes: Xray,cancer screening,periodontal assessment, treatment plan, scaling, polishing, fluoride, sealants, laser treatment, nutritional counseling, etc If anyone is interested please reach out and schedule your appointment at 540 522 0365. I am available on Tuesday from 8-11:30am and 1-4:30pm or Thursday from 1-4:30pm. Thank you so much🙏

Any recommendations of communities < 90 mins away from Arlington to find a quiet escape for the weekend - would be great to find a private community with a fitness center, indoor / outdoor pool. Water or marsh views would also be great.

I'm debating keeping a studio apartment in the area for in office time during the week and having my residence be more of a quiet getaway property.

Was wondering if anyone could recommend a cleaning company that would deal with roach droppings in my kitchen? I need someone who could clean under the fridge also. They are pretty contained to one area and will likely take a short amount of time to deal with.

I would handle myself but it is hard for me to get on the floor and in low cupboards like that right now.

my wife and i just moved here literally a couple days ago and we heard the county fair was in town. do they have unlimited ride wristbands or do you have to buy hella tickets? every other fair i’ve ever been to always has wristbands so im just wondering. thanks

Has it actually closed?

So I've been following The Struts/Barns Courtney around for much of their current tour, and my +1 for tomorrow's concert/meet and greet in Pittsburgh has bailed.

If there is any lady out there adventurous enough to go on a roadtrip from NOVA with a fundamentally decent, respectful, charming stranger- hit me up and you can start vetting me. Perhaps a drink tonight? The metaphorical train leaves the station tomorrow around 9AM.
