I just came here to say that if you love pickleball and want to witness the magic, go to Van Dyck. In the evening, when the leaves are blowing around in the soft breeze, that’s golden. I wish I had captured in a photo but I was too busy taking it all in✨🍂🍁

Also, a plug for r/DMVpickleball

They forgot to reattach the damper of the glove compartment while inspection and my glove compartment just drops down without smoothness. I injured my finger while trying to figure out how to fix it. They do not seems to care about details of the work they do. I do not want them to inspect my car while I brought my car in for another service and leave a mess behind.

Alright so my friend (female) travelled across country to Fairfax, VA GMU to do her masters. And last Sunday a guy groped her and forcefully made out with her (apparently a guy in her friend circle). She said she's mentally disturbed and stuff on those lines. I really would beat up that guy (I want to) but i live in another country. So the fuck do i do in this situation? Can't let that guy slide

My husband is an electrician, and he may have to start driving his work truck home at nights and on weekends. It has company logos on the sides and ladders on top, and our HOA does not allow these sorts of vehicles in the driveway. It's too tall for the garage. Does anyone know of any shopping centers or lots that allow overnight/weekend parking for commercial vehicles, preferably for free? We live in Fair Lakes and are hoping to find something reasonably close. Yes, there is some street parking outside our neighborhood, but spaces are limited and quickly taken by residents of the nearby complexes. Where do other tradespeople with trucks park?

Now, before you filet me alive, yes, I know these stations are mainly for Fairfax suburb residents to go into Tyson's Corner and DC, and yes, these are end of the line stations so demand is naturally lower, BUT

As someone who's parents live out here and have taken the full orange line to visit them multiple times, I can confidently say that placing these stations in the I66 median makes them completely useless and invisible to the people who actually live here.

First, the communities here are waaaay far away from I66. My parents live in Vienna, where I66 and the metro station on it just barely touch the town. If you're going to drive to the edge of town to the station along I66, might as well just drive on I66. The station placement completely ruins the prospect of a car free way to get into DC.

Now to Merrifield. There is a LOT of stores here. This is a GOLDEN opportunity to give people in Fairfax county access to a business district filled with shops and third places for people to hang out. But, the station is in the median of I66, and no one in their right minds wants to negotiate crossing Gallows Road or find a way to get across I66. People would rather just drive than negotiate the streets of Merrifield as a pedestrian talking the metro.

Lastly, West Falls Church. I have real bone to pick with this station. This station is right next to a high school. It's right next to shops. It's practically in the middle of a residential area. The people living here could live their Persona 5 fueled "Go to all the places I need by metro independent of parents, kids, and cars." BUT, it sits in between the interchanges of I66, Leesburg Pike, AND the Dulles Toll road. Who's going to use this station? Ghosts who haunt pavement oceans? No one in their right minds would be willing to walk out to this horribly placed station in the intersection of 3 highways when their default is to drive everywhere anyways.

Move the Vienna station into Vienna. Move the Merrifield station into Merrifield. Move the Falls Church station into Falls church. At the very least add a nice, separated, shaded trail to access the stations. Make the option for these people better than "navigate the unshaded pavement ocean for 2 miles so I can reach the station that is on the road I would have traveled on by car anyways."

Rant over

We are going to be doing a work contract in Fairfax through November 2024. What is a good way to go about signing up for youth soccer and flag football in the area. Not looking to join a travel team or large club, just a rec. league type thing for the fall season. Ages 7 and 9

Any ideas of where I can discard a broken carry on? It is not suitable for donation as the wheels and zippers are broken.

My apt complex does not have a dumpster, and the trash/recycle collector service offered here did not take it today.

Everyone in Fairfax County needs to be aware about the 25-30 students at Hayfield HS who live in Prince William County and other areas not in Fairfax, who are using fake addresses to play football at an FCPS school. This is all being orchestrated by the shady new DSA, new principal and new football coach. Each one of these students are costing Fairfax taxpayers $19,972, and FCPS doesn’t wanna talk about it because they know it’s one largest recruiting scandals ever! Principal Thompson, DSA Fritts and the football coach Darryl Overton are corrupt and terrible people who only care about themselves, and they have turned their back on the Hayfield Community. When you are sneaking kids in from a different county, you are using and stealing taxpayer money. We as taxpayers must raise our voices to the superintendent mcreid@fcps.edu about our concerns.

Hello, my family is going to have a week off at the end of July and are looking to do day trips all week. We are from Northern Virginia. NOT looking to drive more than 2 hours away as we are not looking to spend money on hotels. The kids are between the ages of 6 and 9. We frequent Shenandoah National Park quite a lot. We have also visited Westmoreland State Park and ocean city the past. We do not like colonial beach.

I need help with ideas as where to go! Please help and give me some ideas!
