Rent has gone up by +$300 in most places, what is the cause of this?

I noticed that an apartment that I was interested in is now $1,945 when a year ago it was around $1,600. Why are the apartments here climbing up so high?

Irish Eyes store

My first trip to Irish Eyes but won’t be my last. The merchandise is super high quality and reasonably priced. It’s halfway to St Paddy’s Day and they had wonderful entertainment from a bagpiper and drummer out front. It was a great way to spend some time in Fred.

What up with the Wizard of Oz downtown?

My wife and I are walking around downtown and have seen a couple groups decked out in Wizard of Oz costumes. Is there a reason or is this 2010 and flash mobs are happening?

I need to make some friends down here!

I live up in Woodbridge, but I come down often for shopping and general errands because it's a LOT less hectic and crowded than Woodbridge or further north obviously. If the commute to DC wasn't so bad I think I would definitely prefer to live down this way. But anyway I'm down here for an oil change today and thinking I need to find people to chill with for the times I'm trapped here like today. I like going out for drinks and coffee, soccer, bowling, rollerskating and photography just to name a few. Anyone here wants to get out and do something it makes the trip more worth it than just endless adult tasks!

Central Park Walmart

I literally had the craziest experience at the Walmart tonight in Central Park… I usually let the crazy stuff go but this, I’m reporting it all the way. I usually shop at the Wegmans but Walmart had a specific product I needed so I went there instead, huge mistake btw! I’ve never felt so unsafe in my life, and I’m from DC lol…

So as I was leaving a Walmart employee I guess decided she wanted to invite her friends to the store to hang out, never met ANY of them in my life and one of her friends that walked by me as I was going to the registers abruptly said “it’s btches like this that need their a beat!” I barely got close to them as they were walking by so I have no idea why she said that… so I apologized to them just in case I did and the girl begged her friend (the employee) to let her “beat me up”? Totally in shock and I hate to be a Karen but I’m speaking with a manager as soon as I can this weekend.

  • All I wanted was a peaceful shopping trip with an empty store… should’ve went to Wegmans! lol

Edit: I feel like I have to add this in so there’s not confusion, didn’t realize it, but btw this also isn’t a post that was made to be negative towards specific groups of people. Simply just an experience I wanted to share. <3 Thx!

Dogtopia of Fredericksburg Is In Active Outbreak Protocol 🦠

If you or anyone you know currently takes their pups to the Fredericksburg location, please exercise caution. The facility has been under an active outbreak protocol since August 28, and no further announcements have been made regarding the lifting of this protocol.

Since August 28, there have been 10 new documented cases of kennel cough, not including previously absent dogs before the announcement made on the 28th of August.

The rooms are not being cleaned and sanitized properly. Staff have been contacted to improve their efforts in shutting down the rooms, yet cases continue to rise. Would you feel safe taking your dog there?

Lookin for an Old Burger Joint

Looking for a burger place Pre-Covid (so the place may be long gone) my wife and took a vacation to Fredericksburg and we were heading to park about 30-45 minutes from Main St, i think it was a state park. Right down the road was a great and old burger place, nothing else anywhere near by. It had fresh jalapeño and cheese buns as their specialty and huge onion rings. I’ve been looking on Google maps for a while and haven’t had any luck, hoping y’all can help me out!

Edit: y’all are right, I’m looking for a place in Fredericksburg, Tx. Googled burgers in Fredericksburg, Tx and some older posts here came up, so I assumed I was in the right place. Thank you for your time!

FXBG Parks & Rec Catalog

I recently saw somebody say that there wasn’t a solid source for everything that happens in Fredericksburg, so I did a little looking and found this. FXBG Parks & Rec puts out a seasonal catalog both digitally and in print, and it’s chock full of things to do around town for folks of all ages. If you go to Fredericksburgva.gov, it is free to sign up. Been living here forever and never knew about it, so I figured I’d share with y’all.

Therapy

Any recommendations for a therapist (anxiety, talk therapy) in the area? Preferably around the city but further out is ok too. I have Aetna if that helps. Thank you!
