Grocery Stores and Social Media Fears

So it seems like there's a lot of people posting about grocery stores along the East coast running out of supplies due to the storm damages, dock strikes, and so on. I saw some were posting photos and videos of empty shelves and inciting panic like the great toilet tissue panic of 2020. But, I just went to Walmart at Town Center VB, and Wegmans, and Food Lion in Norfolk (Military Hwy). They're all stocked. Walmart was running low on poultry and paper products, shocker, but everything else was fully stocked. It seems like people want to drive a panic so they can claim they predicted it.

Structural repair contractor recommendations?

I'm trying to get a few quotes for a floor beam replacement along with the pier supporting it, per the recommendation of an independent structural engineer.

Would anyone have any recommendations for the services of a reasonably priced structural repair contractor? Absolutely avoiding JES, Bay or any of the big ones.

Also anyone who's had a repair like this how much did that cost you?

AntiSocial Growers

Are there any events or groups for small "boutique" style growers out here? 2x2,3x3,4x4 style grows? I'm trying to trade some seeds, sample other local growers cultivars and just find other folks that grow their own stuff honestly. Everybody is so ducked off nowadays. I get it though; signs of the times. Any advice is helpful.

East Coast ports, including the Port of Virginia, are poised to shut down as dockworkers’ strike looms

A labor strike is set to shut down several Port of Virginia facilities and 13 other ports along the East coast starting midnight Monday.

Negotiations between the United States Maritime Alliance, which represents port owners and shipping companies, and the International Longshoreman’s Association have been deadlocked for months.

"United States Maritime Alliance refuses to address a half-century of wage subjugation where Ocean Carriers profits skyrocketed from millions to mega-billion dollars, while ILA longshore wages remained flat," the ILA wrote in a statement on Facebook Sunday.

The ILA is pushing for large raises for its workers and bans on automation. It’s been preparing 25,000 workers at ports from New England to Texas to walk off the job when the existing contract expires Oct. 1. This would be the union's first East Coast strike since 1977.

The Port of Virginia announced plans last week to wind down operations if the strike isn’t averted.

Birthday celebration activities and restaurants?

Hey yall! Doing long distance with my husband at the moment but he is coming into town this weekend for his 28th bday. I’ve only lived in VB for almost 6 years, and in that time I have hardly gotten out much aside from my usual spots. I wanna make this a great weekend for him as it’s the first bday we’re celebrating as a married couple, but I have no clue where to take him. Any ideas on good restaurants and a fun activity we can do? He’s super into gaming, anime, cars, arcades, loves a good beer, etc. He’s very flexible and likes trying new things. Loves to eat any good meat entrees (steaks, brisket, burgers, etc). Drop some good recommendations!

Good authentic Mexican food?

I’ve been trying to find a good place to get some good, truly authentic Mexican food. I miss having street tacos, but a lot of places near me have been… lackluster? Y’all got any suggestions? I live in Hampton, but at this point I’ll drive ANYWHERE in HR. Please and thank you.

GYN Recommendations

I’m looking for any recommendations for a kind and compassionate GYN in the area. I’m willing to travel anywhere in the seven cities. Female is preferred, if possible. Please please share your recommendations (or even ones to avoid).

I left my previous one (in another state) after personally witnessing many unhygienic practices (legitimately, this isn’t for dramatic effect) and after they told me they don’t believe in BRCA gene testing (🙃) - even with my mother, aunt, and grandmother all having breast cancer within the last three years.
