Commercial kitchen

Do you know if there’s a commercial kitchen or commissary I can rent hourly? I’m looking into starting a catering business and wondering if there’s a kitchen I could rent nearby.

Used oil disposal

I’m planning to start doing oil changes on my car by myself, but I don’t know what to do with the used oil. Do you know where I can dispose of it?

Thanks

GERAGHTY'S MICRO FARM

Hey guys, I’m a big supporter of local business, and I had the opportunity to produce a podcast for a colleague of mine where he interviewed Dayna and Josh who have a Microfarm and Market here in Winchester.

https://www.gmicrofarm.com

Check out their story, but if you’re looking for a cool little mini trip on the weekends, they have a market that’s open.

If you’re a business owner or someone who comes from a farming background, I think you’ll love what they talk about in this podcast

Super inspiring

Oil change recommendation

I typically use Jiffy Lube but holy hell are they expensive, $130+ just for oil change. Am I missing something or is this the going rate?

Moving to Winchester

My husband (41M) and I (42M)are moving to Winchester, VA from Orlando, FL. We plan on starting a family through surrogacy. Are gay families welcomed in the area? We prefer to be in a more slightly rural area. Also do you know of any gay friendly realtors in the area you would recommend?

Looking for New Friends

I’m 20yr F and looking to meet some people in the Winchester Va area or surrounding areas! I’m not looking for a relationship(I’m already in an amazing one) but would love to make some friends of any gender! My current friends have moved out of the area so I really want to meet people that would want to meetup in person. If you’re not into that I would be happy to add more texting buddies!

Apartment help

I may be moving to the area for school at the end of the year. My school will be in Leesburg/Loudon county and I'm looking for apartments that are 30 minutes or less from the city. I know the cost of living in this area is high, so does anyone have any apartment recommendations? My only stipulations are <$2000/month and no more than 30 min away. Thank you!!!

Nov 19th FCPS Board Meeting attendees - thank you.

I’m so proud of my community for showing up in solidarity to support teaching kindness and empathy to our children, and rejecting the fear and hate being directed at marginalized groups within our community.

Sincerely, thank you. I hope we can carry this solidarity forward to the polls when elections roll back around.

For anyone who was unable to attend, you can view the meeting included here. Beware the second public commenter spews absolute hate for 3 minutes, but the overwhelming majority of attendees were supportive of teaching kindness and acceptance. Comments start around 25:00.

If anyone on the FCPS School Board is reading - consider yourself on notice. We’re coming for your jobs.

ISO Autism/ADHD/Social groups for 12 year old son

My child goes to the city middle school, he has autism/ADHD and is having trouble socializing. I am also having trouble with guiding him and I am in search of some sort of group or socialization he can do. He does a theatre group at SCAA on Mondays. He likes it but he is the only boy. He is not interested in sports. He’s interested in video games, books, TV/movies, board games. Thanks for any suggestions.

Garden Lights MSV

Hi! New to town and checking out MSV’s Garden Lights tonight. Has anyone done this before? We wanted to get dinner first but haven’t figured out the best spot. Would it be best to get dinner downtown and walk to the exhibit after? Or drive and park there? Just curious, thanks for any advice ! Loving Winchester!

Planned protest: Fredrick County School board Meeting 11/19 @ 7PM

Frederick County Education Association has put out the following rally cry. Please join us as we show up to support local youth and those that teach them.

Our School Board must listen to staff, constituents, and students who oppose their mistreatment of the LGBTQIA+ community. Regardless of personal or religious beliefs, they were elected to serve in a PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. They have a responsibility to meet the needs of ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF by promoting inclusion, diversity, and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS within a safe environment. Instead, they have opted to suspend an administrator and eliminate access to a student-requested, student-driven, LGBTQIA+ KINDNESS CLUB (which is neither a class nor a part of our curriculum). This has fostered an atmosphere of intimidation and fear affecting our entire division.

PLEASE JOIN the coalition of FCEA, FCPS staff, students, and community members at the FCPS School Board meeting on November 19 at 7:00 p.m., wearing black in solidarity. You are not required to speak before the board. We understand the fear of retaliation and consequences that many of you feel, but your presence can support those willing to voice how the board's actions, in response to a few vocal community members, have adversely impacted our STUDENTS AND STAFF. The prejudice exhibited by our School Board members and their blatant disregard for individual rights (except when aligned with their personal belief systems) will persist unless we clearly communicate that this is unacceptable in PUBLIC schools designed to serve all students of every shape, color, cultural identity, gender identity, sexual identity, religion, ability—physical, mental, and emotional—and family structure.

Local democratic grassroots organizations?

I suspect I’m not the only one looking to get involved in local progressive political efforts after such a disastrous election.

Anyone know of or involved with anything like that? Any local party officials around?

Date ideas in or around Winchester

Hey folks. I'm from Harrisonburg but there is a person in Winchester that I'd like to go in a date with. I don't know much about what there is to do in Winchester and this seemed like a good place to ask. So if you were going on a first date this weekend or next what are some fun things to do/beautiful places to visit/good food to be had (I am very allergic to shellfish so a place without it would be ideal).

Thanks!
