I got into a crash last night in Central Springfield area and I was wondering if anyone would know who I can contact to see if there are any camera and if there’s footage available in the area?

This month, we focus on the life-changing work of service and therapy dogs and the steps you can take to champion their cause. From advocacy tips to event updates, here’s what’s new!

Besides hibachi, are there any fun "experience" type restaurants in the Faifax area? Needs have good food as well.

How does everyone feel about Delegate Marcus Simon? I’m confident he’ll run again this year and have his high-dollar donors help him run his bid, but does anyone like him/have any feelings about him?

Curious to hear everyone’s opinions!

Hello! First time booking these camps through Fairfax County Park Authority. I've seen the Reddits on how the site crashed last year, and now FCPA has staggered booking dates. I know I'm over-worried about this, but how does booking actually go on the day? What's best practice? Do I start with our top camp and try to get that first and then move on to the other weeks? Or do you put all your camps in a cart and then checkout? Clueless over here.

Hello,

I am a master's student working on a final project which involves proposing a hypothetical amendment to Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act. The act is meant to protect all residents of Virginia, this initial poll will help me gauge how well the state raised consumer awareness of the act and their rights under the act.

Please choose an option below which reflects your familiarity with Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act.

Thank you in advance!

It's coming to a head and I figure the prevailing political forces will follow through on what they lobbyists want.

Your thoughts?

Kind of silly but never rode the public metro buses in VA can I use cash money and or apply pay or do I need a smart trip card or something

Thanks let me know if u know 🙃

All expired in 2024. Registration fees are for suckers!

My last payment will due on Feb 1st (1st of each month), and it should be deducted from bank account on Feb 3rd (Monday).

After that payment, the loan will be paid off, what should I need to do after that? How to get the title?

I will update auto insurance from finance to own.

Anything else I need to do?

Looking for a mechanic in the Springfield area to change out the low beam bulb in my car. Multiple reasons I can’t do it myself. Fairfax Honda quoted me $135 which feels steep. Hoping a general mechanic can do it for cheaper. Recommendations appreciated!

Just bought a house zoned for Washington mill elementary and kids are a few years off, but wanted to see if anyone has any opinions of Washington mill! Any insight would be appreciated.

look, I'm a goth kiddo that REALLY wants to get that one haircut with the shaved sides. if I go to a normal person though, they'll fuck it up! I need to find an alternative barber around this area!

Ask to see their peddler's permit. The term alone will put them in a diminished standing. I wonder if those damn Moxi bros have them.

Hi all! I’m new to this group but wanted to shout out a free seminar and workshop hosted by the the wonderful GW Professor Hanan Daqqa. She is interested in speaking to moms about the process she’s created for families to tell their stories on film.

During the seminar at Vienna Community Center, you will watch some family films and engage in three activities to find your unique family stories to share with the next generation. If you’re interested, you can use this link to get more info: https://www.facebook.com/share/15hMqARuwq/

I think what Hanan is doing is really important and I encourage you all to join!

Has is started yet?

Not good at DIY, water heater must be old, it was not new when I bought the house more than 10 years ago (2014). It must be quite many years, I live alone and had never done any maintenance in the past 10 years, since I don't know what maintenance is needed.

I went to basement for laundry and seeing water heater leaking, it just started leaking (should be from bottom) and I noticed on time, so not much damage to basement floor.

Not good at DIY, how much does it cost for replacement/installation? Where to get replacement at a reasonable price? home depot? I would like to have some ideas about its estimated cost, in case someone gives me unreasonable quote.

Not from here. Went to dicks, they had limited selection. Is there a store specific to the team? Or a sports store that sells old merchandise?

I live in Fairfax and have a neighbor who is feeding wildlife daily. The neighbor gives cheese, meat, sandwiches, and fast food to foxes, crows, vultures, and anything else that will come around. It has gotten to the point where animals show up each morning and await the meal. They are hand fed at times.

As a result, the animals sometimes carry the food onto my property to eat it. More and more animal droppings are found at various points around my home and I am left to clean it up. I now have to limit my dog's outdoor activities to prevent the dog from picking up diseases and parasites. The neighbor's actions also has thrown the natural order of things out of balance and I have noticed an increase in field mice in and around my home since their normal predators are not as motivated.

I believe the neighbor has violated 4VAC15-40-286. Unauthorized feeding of wildlife. IS this something that DWR officers take seriously

Hi all, can anyone share their rental experience if they’ve rented at the Eaves Fairfax Tower?

Thank you

Does anyone happen to have a connection to someone who would have accurate information as to when the Mt. Vernon Rec Center will reopen? There have been very few updates (that are pretty lacking in substance) over the last two years of this project and the best I can find is reopening "early/Spring 2025." TIA!

Update: from the 23 January information session, Mt Vernon Rec Center is scheduled to reopen in late May 2025 with the pool opening to follow in June 2025 (no specific dates given).
