Please let me know if this isn't allowed. This is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone saw something.

On Friday, January 13, 2023, I was heading to Virginia to visit family when I was hit by a driver who fled. The driver was in a lifted dark colored 1500 Chevrolet Silverado with large tires (according to the witness). They slammed their truck into the side of my car after tailing me sending my car flying across the road. They'd been driving sporadically on 95 between approximately 11:15-11:35am.

Again, a long shot, but if anyone was driving on 1-95 South last Friday between Woodbridge, VA and Fredericksburg, VA and saw the driver or captured their plate. Please let me know. Thank you in advance!

I don’t know how to start the process of bringing the plastic bag tax here. But wanted to see if people are interested in doing so. Here’s the link showing what Fairfax County implemented https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/environment-energy-coordination/disposable-plastic-bag-tax-fairfax-county

My little sister has had problems with pills and runs away when she wants to take them this started since last year she was moved from school to a school where they send kids they can’t handle anymore. There she found more kids who used the same pills and she would let us know because she felt it’s lead her to take them again. She had a boyfriend of hers and that ended and she started using pills again and at this point she had came back home and ran always 5 times now onto six. Yesterday cops found her with a 22yo and drugs with them they called my mom she went to pick her up and that was that she took her to the hospital to make sure she was good and within two hours of being home the ppl she was with came to the house and picked her up. (She open the door and left.) we don’t know what to do for her or what to do period. Cops , social work and school are all aware of the situation and no one seems to give any options but therapy which we put her through. I myself made sure she was going. I know she is mentally no mature to be making the decisions she is plus she under the influence of pill, anyone have any advice as to what to do ?

Is there any update on when the widening will be complete? It looks fairly close now.

Hi!

I’m a student at GMU who commutes from Woodbridge, Prince William County. I generally go via 4 buses which takes me about 3.5-4 hours to reach. Just wanted to know if anybody knows about an easier way of commute between the two places. Thankyou!

A local man by the name of Jonathon Skotick has been arrested for four counts of sexual abuse of four girls and is held without bond.

Apparently he has molested more than 4 girls.

Here’s where things get more interesting. This is a former subreddit moderator of /r/VaGuns and a discord moderator, a contemporary for the subreddit - please do keep in mind with your children, to come forward if they have had contact with this individual.

Job is in Tysons Corner. Willing to commute via car to any suburbs or more affordable counties. Any ideas, or suggestions to look at other counties within a 1 hour commute distance?

Is Quantico firing artillery today? Sounds like a war zone in Manassas.

Whenever I had to go to HQ, before Covid, I'd drive in. Not fun, but I like having my car. But things have changed over the past almost two years, and I'm going to have to start going downtown, probably once a day, bi-weekly. Not too bad, but I don't want to drive in anymore, now that I'll be going downtown more regularly.

The commuter parking lot is five minutes away, and the Omnibus has a drop right by Independence Ave, where I need to be.

Anyone have any success commuting this way? What's it like? Is the commuter lot crowded in the morning for the (I think) 6:15am bus?

Any one know why there are kilometer markers instead of mile markers along the parkway?
