What kind of black dirt is it that people are putting down on their lawns in this area this time of year?

I don't think it is top soil. And, I don't think it is just plain compost.

What is it and where do I get it?

Custom pantry or closet company recommendations?

I’m looking to have people come out for a design consult for our kitchen pantry. We tried Home Depot and it was a waste of time, the designer was terrible. I’ve also talked to The Container Store just to see what they’d say but am not sold on their price point yet.

Any other companies to look in to that you thought were priced fair and did great work?

Sites for a small memorial service (for a veteran)?

Hey Leesburg! I'm looking for inputs for holding a small memorial service for a veteran in or around the Leesburg area. Here are the "constraints":

  1. date would need to be Thursday September 12th, Friday September 13th or Saturday September 14th
  2. probably best if it's somewhere that can be "reserved" as I'm a bit hesitant to have it in a truly public spot; wouldn't want to have us all going thru our emotions and then have like something interfering
  3. Outdoor would be preferable
  4. Small group -- no more than 15.
  5. Within an hour of Leesburg

Bonus:

If anyone knows where I can outsource either a small military gun salute or flagfolder that would be amazing!

Feel free to ask questions, I'm actively monitoring my notifications :)

Clothing recommendations for travelers

Hi everyone! I hope this is the right place to ask. I’ll be visiting Leesburg at the end of October to attend a wedding at a nearby winery, and I was hoping to get some insight on the weather that time of year. The wedding is in the evening at 6pm.

I’m coming from Australia and I want to make sure I’ve packed appropriately!

Historical weather sites shows a temp range of 68-50F, but sometimes it can feel colder due to wind and humidity etc. I was planning to wear a wool shawl with my dress, but want to know if I should allow for something much warmer? Any advice would be great, thanks! 🦘

Recommended places for new Leesburg resident?

Hi! Like the title says, I'm a soon to be new Leesburg resident and I want to know some great places to visit or things to do around here. I'm in my early 20s and definitely into exploring the area! I'm definitely planning on visiting the local bookshops in downtown (forgot their names lol- the one's a plant store as well + the other is secondhand books), and I'm super interested in visiting the local coffee shops too. I also adore the franklin park arts center in Purcellville, but are there any other local places you guys would reccomend to someone new to the area? I'd say Ashburn and Purcellville count too, since they're only like a 20m drive from Leesburg, but anything is good. Thanks!

Taste of Leesburg

Taste of Leesburg was this weekend and my brother and I were hanging out at Tarbenders on Saturday night. I’ve been told by several people that very attractive young lady wearing a peach colored dress was winking at me, and I was too too oblivious to notice it. I think at one point I saw her looking at me with a strange look, and I looked away, not thinking anything of it, but I was told late later in the evening that she continue to come around the corner to look for me and I didn’t pick up the signal. If anybody knows or has a friend or is part of a group group of girls that were in Leesburg this past Saturday night at Tarbenders, I do plan on being back there again, Saturday night. I do hope to either see you or hear from the woman in the peach colored dress.

How would you describe Leesburg’s “vibe”?

How would you describe Leesburg’s “vibe”?

I’m narrowing in on where I might want to live with my family of four in the near future. I currently live out of state but grew up in nova and remember it being a good place to raise kids and would probably move back there to be close to family. I went to school in Richmond and liked the artsy vibe. I like that Leesburg has a historic downtown charm compared to other suburbs in the area and is very green with trees. So what is the “vibe” and what are people like? Are they buttoned up DC types still or a little more relaxed less career crazy? Is everyone in a hurry or slower pace compared to say, Arlington? How are the schools in your opinion? I have toddlers at the moment. Thanks!

New to the area and we had care lined up next week for our 3 and 6 year old girls while my wife is out of town, but it just fell through. Looking for someone to watch them from 10-5. I will be working from home, but won’t be able to keep them fully engaged. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

Anyone in need of babysitting?

Hello all! I just moved to Leesburg with my husband. During the school year I’m a substitute teacher. For the summer I’ve been working as a nanny for different families. I’m looking to earn a bit of additional income by helping on a one off basis for local families.

I have four years of experience with all ages from infant onward. I have worked as a preschool teacher and worked well with special needs students. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

If you need someone to watch your children while you take an evening off, or even just an extra set of hands please feel free to reach out to me.

Trump rally by the court house???

Why are there a bunch of trump ralliers by the court house today? I even saw a few counter-protestors. Did something happen or did they just decide to do this after the RNC?

Fireworks co-operative

Hey all, all these firework stands do a like buy 1 get 2 free, but it’s all of the same firework. Which is poopy because who wants the same firework 3 times. Was wondering if any 2 other people want to get together and split the 3 of each. Put like $50-100 each in and get a large variety.

Outdoor Fitness Equipment

Hello, I've just moved to the Leesburg area.

Does anybody know if there is an outdoor calisthenic fitness area with pull up bars, etc.?

Specifically, I'd love to find some parallel dip bars. I'll continue to explore on my own but figured I'd ask here in case anybody knows. Thanks!
