Saw this prompt in a few other city subs, thought it could be interesting to see what everyone thinks about Arlington.

Hi all - my friends golden doodle puppies Nellie got loose today near the VA hospital. They’re obviously very scared and are currently out putting up flyers. If you have any information or ideas, feel free to comment here or text me at 973-975-7363

Hi neighbors! I'm a Producer at DC News Now and wanted to share our Remarkable Women Contest.

Think of a woman who inspires you. Is she a nonprofit leader? A makeup artist who helps women regain confidence? A veteran who wants to give back?

Knowing how many extraordinary women are in the DMV, I know someone comes to mind. Maybe she's at your neighborhood farmers market every weekend. Or a teacher who had an impact on you in elementary school.

Whoever she is, consider nominating her for our Remarkable Women Contest.

One woman from the D.C. area will be considered for Nexstar's national 2025 Woman of the Year Award.

The grand prize winner will be awarded $25,000 for the nonprofit closest to her heart.

Here's a link to the contest! https://www.dcnewsnow.com/remarkable-women/#//

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!
