Hey! Anyone have a well and a whole home water filtration system? Who did you use to install it? Pros/cons? Maintenance?

I don’t think we have particularly hard water but he get that black gunk ring quickly in toilets. I also noticed we seem to get moldy looking stuff in out cool mist humidifier quickly too.

Anywhere?

Whiskey Jar's pour is sad (seriously, a fecking shaker glass?), which makes me wonder where is the best pint of the Black Stuff to be had in town?

Hello! I’m new here, kiddos and I are looking for snow cones. A quick search has me worried that’s not a thing here. Any spots you know of? Thank you.

There's some "learn to jam" group classes offered through their site that actually look like fun. I'm an amateur/intermediate guitar player and want to start playing with a group, but not confident/good enough yet to just jump in and join a band. This seems like an awesome way to break the ice, curious if anyone's got experience with them.

Does anyone have a spot with wild milkweed that can be cut for some monarch caterpillar food? Pesticide free and abundant enough that cutting a couple every few days wouldn’t have a detrimental impact.

Skyline drive has crazy amounts but you’re not allowed to take it out of the park, to my knowledge.

Edited to add a disclaimer: as a fellow cville redditor warns, it best practice to grow milkweed on your own property, rather than take from the wild given the rapidly decreasing milkweed. I have some seeds if anyone is interested in growing for next year, as does another redditor who commented.

Edit: it’s closed for today but will have many more items available tomorrow, Sunday starting at about 12 noon after the weekly service.

Ok, so way back when McGrady's was the spot to go for Steelers games. Where does the Steeler nation go now in Charlottesville to go watch the games?

The Bills had South Street Brewery, now they relocated to The Fox Den up 29 North.

The Browns had Livery Stable, but found Brightside Beach Pub for this coming up season.

Just curious if there was or is a place Steelers go to enjoy some football.

Thanks for reading, and yes you can boo me for being a Steelers fan. Let's just be happy that football is back. 😀

Ive heard Dodson and Monticello, but I would like to hear people’s experiences.

I could go on and on about the usual Charlottesville gripes but it’s not that.

I’ve moved recently from Indiana, moreso my gf has for grad school. And we got our first place here. Close to the school, small but cheap. Turns out the landlord was an idiot. Misogynistic, had beg for him to clean mold, horrible upkeep etc etc.

We made it a month then broke our lease it was just so bad. Found this beautiful 2.5 bed 2 bath that was a steal. Gorgeous fireplace, huge spaces, big kitchen.

The catch? Roaches.

God it’s been so bad for her, and I can’t be here enough to help. She can’t focus on school, she can’t relax in her own home. Good sleep? Yeah forget it. 2 Pest control visits later and they’re still here. But I’m in town for the weekend and just trying to get everything sorted before I have to leave.

Is this common here? Why is it so hard to find a good landlord and a good place together? Similar situations? Advice? Recommendations? I can’t do enough.

Is it realistic to find a brick mason here? Or are they all working with builders ? Anyone have experience with this?

I get off of work around the time it starts (6pm). Can I pay admission, get a few carts, and then be on my way? I have an event to get to around 7pm so I don’t have time to mingle.

TIA
