I moved here (Suffolk) just before Thanksgiving in 2023. There are plenty of kids I've met in the neighborhood, school busses come by every day.....I was all ready with tons of candy tonight. 2 people came by. Do people not go door to door anymore? I was talking with my friend who has 3 young boys who I babysit sometimes. She took them to Busch Gardens tonight because that's what they wanted to do. What's up? No one goes door to door?

Apart from coffee shops, what are some nice spots where you can bring your laptop and get some work done for a few hours? When I need a change of scenery from my home office or backyard, I usually pick a coffee shop, but what are some other ideas for people who work remotely? (Thanks in advance!)

I’ve quite had enough of the typical family Christmas events. Gathering together and rushing through opening presents that the kids are typically totally ungrateful for.

I want to get out of the house and do some charitable activities as a family. Would love some recommendations for activities suitable for toddlers-teenagers and adults

Hello! I'm trying to find an attorney to help my wife and I draw up a Will and create a Trust for our house and other things to leave to our kids. I don't know where to start. Does anyone here have experience with this and/or anyone you'd recommend?

Alt/Doom/Death Metal, maybe with some grungey deep south lead belly-esque country undertones. Mostly slow tempo doom metal but would like to get creative with it.

Vocalist in search of: Drummer Bassist Guitarist

Drawing inspiration from: Warning Paul Bearer Monolord Panopticon Agriculture Electric Wizard Absent in body Amenra Thou Blaze of sorrow Godthrym YOB Chained to the bottom of the ocean Blood Ceremony Bell Witch Blood Incantation

Some conflicting styles listed but would really like to find our own cool style and not emanate one thing.

Speciality is slow deep grindy rumbly growly scream. Can hit fry screams but still in a lower capacity. Can do stylized cleans (i'm not a conventionally good singer but I can capture a vibe)

I have not been in a band before so I will probably be a bitch to work with until I get things down. Not being in a band in the past also means I have no work to share but I can send examples of vocals to show i'm not total shit.

Goal is to jam mostly. Recording an album or EP would be solid. Performing local is a dream.

Comment or PM ! Let's bring real metal to the 757!

we're a biracial family moving from GA to the Hampton roads area. Both mom and dad work remotely, but dad is a drilling reservist and will need to work at NS Norfolk once a month or so. 4 kids, two elementary and two infant/toddler. Looking for a good school district, established neighborhood with quality constructions and walkability is a plus. Would like to be relatively close to amenities like parks/playgrounds, Costco, daycare, schools, etc. Does a neighborhood like this exist in Hampton roads area? Budget for homes is >2 million. Tia!

I’m looking to move into a 3 bedroom apartment with my 2 kids and fiancé. How much does anyone with a 3 bedroom pay for electricity on average every month?

I love live music, especially metal—primarily death, black, and doom metal. I’m not always up for the crowd and intensity of the Norva, and their lineups don’t always match my taste.

I’m looking for a casual spot where I can catch live music in a more personal setting. Metal would be great but just general alternative stuff would be cool. House shows would be amazing to be apart of again but you gotta know a guy that knows a guy.

I’ve heard of Riff House but haven’t made it there yet. I used to enjoy places like The Pour House (corny as it was), Shakaz (sometimes), and the Hookup Cafe before they all shut down. Not sure what's been going on at the Zen lately.

Mostly it's about the music but it would be nice to meet some like minds and feel apart of a culture.

I used to go to Richmond all the time for the hardcore/metal/alt music scene, it was awesome and I had a lot of fun and made some connections but I got sick of the drive. It would be nice if we had something like that around here.

Maybe it does exist but it's certainly small and super niche. Do i just not know the right people?

Looking for paint less dent removal and minor scratch buffing. TIA!

I’ve only been during their summer season, I never knew if howl-o-scream and Christmas town were just decorative or if the rides were still open for operation

Any lumberyards sell sheets of 4x8 - 3/4 inch marine plywood?

This was a breakfast spot that was amazing and always crowded, anyone know what happened?

Looking for a reputable company and hoping anyone can relay positive experiences. Haven’t come across favorable reviews on Yelp.

I’ve been lurking and reading posts here for months, so I figured I’d finally reach out.

I often pop in to coffee shops around Norfolk / VA Beach area to read, write and do homework. I often think to myself how nice it would be to sit down and talk with someone just about life, world events, or whatever. I have come to realize that everyone just appears so busy and in their own lane. I naturally do not impede, but the reluctance of people to stop what they’re doing and just sit down and chat is disheartening. I get people are busy, I too have things I have to get done, but far too often the headphones and phones in front of their faces is just an obsession I do not understand.

I guess this post is to see if anyone feels the same. Or if anyone wishes to converse over coffee or at a brewery sometime, just to have an hour or so to literally talk about whatever we wish.

I tend to have the evenings off work and genuinely do not like spend it scrolling or watching TV. Weekends are usually spent reading and working on assignments for my Doctorate program, but I do like to get out and just walk around and play sports.

I’m a father, however they live in Georgia, as I am wrapping up a career in the military. Can explain more about me if interested, but just wanted to put my thoughts out there and also if anyone has a good recommendation for coffee spots with a view and nice atmosphere.

Hey what's up folks? I need one of these silly ass red hats like right away. Is there anywhere I can go pick one up locally? Maybe at a shitty gas station or something?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Are the 7 cities the best way to divide them or do the geographic divides in the area not follow municipal lines that closely?

Has anyone in Hampton roads had any luck finding a pharmacy with .50 injectable wegovy? Calling these pharmacies is literally a part time job and I'm having no luck with a dose due tomorrow.

Hey everyone, I grew up on the peninsula and my family moved to the Midwest a few years back. My girlfriend had a killer idea to surprise my parents with blue crabs for Christmas and make that for Christmas dinner. Anyone aware of a local company that would be willing to ship live crabs?

(I realize it would probably be easier to have them steamed and sent, but half the experience is steaming them yourself).
