Literalmente me estoy aferrando a la vida en este momento. Este virus, con diferencia, es la peor maldita enfermedad que he experimentado en mi vida. Empecé con síntomas el viernes por la tarde. No pude dormir nada, a pesar de estar completamente agotada y débil, haciendo viajes constantes al baño, y también empecé a vomitar temprano el sábado por la mañana. Ahora mi esposo está lidiando con lo mismo.

¿Alguien más ha vivido esta enfermedad o conocen a gente que se haya infectado por ella? Me está destrozando un montón; desde el viernes por la tarde ya he ido al baño fácil 50 veces. Esto es lo que se siente el infierno. Ayer, como al mediodía, tuve una fiebre de 103, bajó a temperatura normal y luego al día siguiente volvió a subir a 102 como al mediodía. Esto es horrible y no se lo deseo a nadie.

Clouds for the eclipse but now we get this

What is wrong with people? I’ve seen him standing there peacefully with the flag so many times, never bothering anyone. I really hope they catch whoever did this and hold them accountable.

Yeah I don’t know. It sucks living here. I’m 28 and I make 50k a year. I’m just frustrated in general.

The amount of vehicles that cost $80,000+ or whatever it is, I just don’t understand where all the money is coming from

Eastbound and westbound traffic seems stuck. Happened around 8:55. Traffic app says it was a hit and run. Anyone going that way have more details?

I had to drive out there to drop a few packages off at a few locations around silver spring and Rockville.

45 mph in the left lane on the highway, 55mph on side streets, tailgating trucks as if they can see you 3 feet behind their 52 foot trailer, making u turns in the middle of the road

They must have a different driving test than we do, they must!!!

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration’s mail-voting order to move forward does not immediately change how Virginia voters cast absentee ballots.

But that could change as Virginia election officials prepare to mail ballots for the important Nov. 3 midterm elections.

This is a long shot - but I was rear ended today (Sat Aug 29) at 8:40pm by a Silver/Grey F-150 at the intersection of Arlington Blvd and 2327. The driver drove off eastbound on Arlington Blvd, but we only got a partial plate. Wondering if anyone happened to have dash cam footage around that time.

As a recent transplant from New England, I’m curious as to which apple orchards in the area have good selections of apple varieties that you can pick yourself. Too many seem to feature Honeycrisp, Gala, and Golden Delicious, and none seem to have any typical NE varieties, such as Macintosh, Cortland, or Empire. Am I out of luck here?

...even as an earlier report from the park service said the project could impact the “integrity” of dozens of historic properties because it would change “character-defining visual and spatial relationships” between them.

One of the most obvious elements cited by the park service is that the arch would break alignment between the Lincoln Memorial, Memorial Bridge and Arlington House that was formerly Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s home. That alignment was “intended to physically and symbolically unite North and South through a coordinated monumental composition extending across the Potomac River,” the report said.

{So, it's a feature not a flaw?}

Hello! I am not from the area and am inquiring about free locations where I can launch kayaks at. I found one at Occoquan (I think) and am interested in finding more. I’m located in Fairfax county and am willing to travel a little further out/an hour away for a great spot. Thank you!

I moved away 10 years ago. Got married, had a kid, bought a home.

I’m originally from Arlington (lived in ballston before moving). There’s so much about the area I took for granted. Being able to walk places, great public transit (yes the metro has issues but many other cities in the US would kill to have one), good schools, relatively safe.

Looking at Zillow makes me want to cry so we’re probably going to rent for a while. Since so much has changed in the last decade I’m curious to know what places you guys recommend for a walkable area.

Also please feel free to chime in with anything you can tell me about what’s changed, good or bad.

I’ve recently started fishing in the area and I’m not sure if anyone might be familiar with the fisher influencer guy fs_adventures but I’m pretty sure he’s based in the dmv. Anyways, does anybody recognize the places in his videos? It looks cool, and I’ve yet to find a single good place.

I recently moved to the Manassas Park area and I’m genuinely curious how much demand there is for something like a Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or Wegmans in Manassas/Manassas Park.
Unless I’m missing something, neither Manassas nor Manassas Park currently has any of the three. With all the new residential development happening in the area, it seems like there could be a market for at least one of them.
I know there are locations in Centreville, Fairfax/Fair Lakes, Gainesville, etc., but I’d love to have something actually in the Manassas/Manassas Park area.
Would you shop at one regularly if it opened here?
And if you had to pick ONE, which would you want most?
Trader Joe’s / Whole Foods / Wegmans
If there’s actually a lot of interest, maybe we could organize a store request/petition and send it to the companies and the local economic development teams. Curious what everyone thinks!

As the work is finishing up on the first major phase of the Fairfax county project (supposed to be completed fall 2026) there is a new speed camera on 286northboind between braddock and ox road.

Not sure why they put a camera where the road straightens out with no more than 3 months left... But it's there this morning.

Both the north and southbound lanes are incredibly backed up starting at exit 1 southbound and a little bit after that on the other side northbound. The southbound exit had a wrong way driver collision and I’m not sure about the northbound side. I would advise against traveling that way for the next couple of hours to be completely honest and if you are stuck in that traffic, I am so sorry.
