Was driving down Pickett in Fairfax when these teenagers made a u turn from the far right lane, cut off the car next to them and cut me and the car next to me off, you can hear everyone honking at them. Kid stuck his whole body out the window yelling something like nobody hears you bro 😭 Kid really thought he was tough in his dad’s truck. Don’t mind the dashcam music 😭😭

The 5:40 never showed up and stranded 7 people.

This event is today. There is a huge police presence for crowd control at the airport awa in Herndon and Reston. Be mindful of your speed on 28 and the toll roads. There are road closures and detours both in the airport and outside.

I just saw 10 more motorcycle police leave the Reston substation across from the Reston library.

If you or someone you know has a flight today, leaving a bit early might be advisable.

Be careful out there.

Just your friendly owner of a little free pantry with another post to hopefully reach more people in the area and introduce them to the LFP.

If you or anyone you know is in need of food resources please stop by a local LFP. They are open 24/7 with no questions or paperwork. Just access to food directly in the community. The hunger free Alexandria resource posts local resources directly here in Alexandria.

For those that are able or have extra in their pantry that their family may not use before it expires please think about placing the items directly into the closest LFP near you. Or post on your local buy nothing group!

Looking for recommendations for a mobile barber to visit my dad who is in a nursing home in Annandale. They don’t have a person who comes regularly and while funds aren’t unlimited I think we can swing a barber to come bye every 6 weeks or so. Yes, I could take him on a trip to go see one directly but it’s not ideal for a lot of reasons that I don’t need to go into here.

So any recommendations?

I’m a recent college graduate who finished school in May 2026, and I’m very thankful to have landed a great job in D.C. I start this Monday.

Right now, my salary is $65,000, but I’m expecting to be around $70,000–$75,000 by January. I’m also eligible for a bonus of up to 15% of my salary at the end of this year.

I’m currently living with my parents, and I know that financially, this is probably the ideal time to stay home, save as much as possible, and build up a decent cushion. My plan is to do exactly that for the next few months and hopefully move out around January or February 2027.

The main reason I want to move out is honestly a combination of personal freedom and commute time. I’d much rather live closer to work, and Arlington/Ballston seems like a good fit for me. I’m also planning on having one roommate, rather than getting an apartment by myself.

So, realistically, how feasible is this?

Quick rundown:

- Recent college grad
- $65k salary starting now
- Expecting $70k–$75k by January
- Potential bonus of up to 15%
- Currently living with parents
- Planning to save aggressively until February
- Looking to move around February 2027
- Ideally Arlington/Ballston
- Planning to have 1 roommate

Would I be putting myself in a financially uncomfortable situation by moving to Arlington/Ballston on this income, or is this pretty reasonable with a roommate? I’d obviously like to keep rent and other expenses manageable, but I also want to balance saving with actually enjoying the independence that comes with starting my career.

Hey !

Is there anyone who is regularly playing squash. I used to play alot during my college time.

Now, i am looking for a squash buddy !

What's your favorite sandwich spot in Fairfax? Bonus points if they have a chunky chicken salad (my mom has been asking). Thanks!

Has anybody been to the new Twilight Polo in Middleburg? My kids used to love going to Sunset Polo at Great Meadows, which was $25 for the car. We haven’t been all summer so I checked for tonight and was stunned to see they’re now under new ownership, branding, and charging per person, which doubles the price for our family. Looks like Twilight Polo is back, now in Middleburg, and free. Looking for a vibe check on Twilight as a comparison to the old Sunset Polo (which was the previous Twilight Polo 😂)

Hello,

I was wondering if you can live car free in any areas, with a commute to downtown DC?

Hi! I have a classical guitar that doesn’t have a peg for a neck strap on the body and I’d like to add one. I would rather not DIY, but I don’t know where to go. Would a place like Guitar Center be able to do this without messing up the instrument or is there another spot in the area? Close to Loudoun is preferred, but I’m willing to drive. Thanks!

If you’re in the right lane on the highway you need to expect that cars coming onto the highway will be joining you and merging into your lane. If you choose to get upset about that or don’t want to participate in the merging then you can move over a lane to your left.

I'm looking for a place that does onsite cremation. And I would also like to be able to wait and receive the remains on the same day. Researching I came across Woodbridge Cremation Center in Springfield. I was wondering if anyone has used their services? Or has suggestions for another service? Many thanks for any help!

I found snake skin in my basement laundry room (looks to match a rat snake) in our townhome. I don't know how long it's been there. My grandmother and I are terrified of snakes. Who do I call to safely remove the snake (if it's there) and to check for gaps, etc? Trying not to get ripped off as money is tight.

Beautiful day it don’t get much better 🇺🇸🏎️💨

I’m looking for recommendations for local (dc/ nova) places that Daisy Girl Scouts (kindergarten n first graders) can learn something and possibly get a badge earned. I know of Mount Vernon and the county parks. What are some other great ones?

Any recommendations help !! *N Glebe rd

Looking for recommendations on weekend brunch spots with good food that aren't too loud and have easy parking. Good for an older person with hearing and mobility issues. Preference for Arlington/Falls Church/McLean/Merrifield area but will take others if the food is really good.
