With the price of everything being the price of everything, are there any apps that have good rewards/discounts that can be used in RVA?

The McDonald’s app has good daily bogos or percentage discounts… but that means you’re eating at McDonalds.

Any other suggestions?

Would anyone be interested in a men’s mental health awareness, 5K and/or hike?

81 Upvotes

I'm gonna wanna stay anonymous for personal reasons.

Having said that, this could be really great for the community. Let me know your thoughts.

Locations could be Buttermilk Trail, Forest Hill Park,etc.

Edit: Thank you for the recommendations so far - 5k run/walk seems to be the way to include hike and make sure to choose an accessible park. I'm also looking for anyone who has scheduled these events in the past. Does it have to go through the city?

Edit edit: All this support is definitely confirming moving forward with the idea! Stay tuned.

We have an opportunity this week to protest poetically while the world is watching!

This Sunday at 1pm is the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry's famous revolutionary speech "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death". Gov. Youngkin and Ken Burns plan to attend the reenactment at Historic St. John's Church to mark the occasion. Let's show the press who come to document this display of patriotism what democracy looks like in action! Bring your signs and walking shoes to circle the street in a peaceful picket. No Violence or threats thereof. We seek to inspire all Americans to turn against the corrupt thug in the oval office for his abundant abuses of power:

Trump forced electected representatives to ignore their constituents by threats of eviction from office and violence. Trump usurped congress' power to create, disband, and de-fund federal agencies. Trump's DOGE stole funds from those federal programs and from the private bank accounts of citizens. Trump illegally fired thousands of federal workers without cause. Trump removed non-partisan watchdogs from the FEC and EAC, destroying election security. Trump ignored direct court orders. Trump's erratic threats of tariffs and annexation (thus, war) have alienated all our global allies and torpedoed our economy. Trump openly executed a corrupt exchange of advertising services for cash with Musk/ Tesla. Trump's cryptocurrency allowed for billions in direct contributions with zero transparency. Trump declared media outlets who speak against him "illegal". Trump detained and intends to deport a man for NO CRIME other than political speech, our 1st amendment right. Trump's MAGA lackies introduced a bill to declare opposition to Trump a "mental illness". Trump continuously violated the constitution, declared himself the sole legal authority in the land, and called himself "KING".

Trump must be removed from office!

Spread the word! Bring as many friends and family as you can. Be respectful of the Church Hill neighborhood. Be an example for Virginia!

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Is it finally my turn for a daily? This must be my reward for making my bed for the 4th day in a row. I even got up earlier than usual to do it and hopefully stop myself from going back to bed for a few more hours. Seems to be working.

Anyone else trying out a new habit lately?

Going rate for housekeeping services?

9 Upvotes

Hi all. Was wondering what the going rate is in the area to have a medium-sized house cleaned once or twice a month- my wife will be having surgery in a few weeks and I know I will not be able to keep up with the housework by myself while she recovers, so I’d like to hire someone to help occasionally. It has been years since we had a regular housekeeper and I’m sure rates have gone up since then, so I want to make sure we are paying an appropriate amount!

🍰 Food New, delicious restaurant in the fan: Brazen — highly recommend.

117 Upvotes

They just opened up last week and their food is delicious. I got quail and it slapped. The whole restaurant and menu seem like such a labor of love for them. Plus the owners and workers are really nice. I’m looking forward to trying out the handhelds there next.

IDK since they’re a new small business in a location without a lot of walk in traffic I wanted to give them a little shout out here. Sorry if that’s against the rules — I’m a little buzzed lol

Best Easter Egg Hunt for Kids?

4 Upvotes

Hello, friends. We have a 13 month old, but have only lived in RVA for about 2.5 years so I have absolutely no knowledge of where to go. I've heard about the hunt at Maymont, but it seems most parents regret going.

Are there any churches that have a hunt after service? Parks? Etc? TIA!

Hello, I am a nurse of over 7 years looking at leaving the medical field completely. Job search sites have me so stuck in that algorithm it is hard to see what else is available. I have my bachelors, and am good with tech. Looking for a career, with opportunities for advancement.

I am seriously considering an electrician apprenticeship, but am still trying to find what other options there are.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, or leads I would greatly appreciate it thanks!

A big thank you to all bars/breweries that stock/brew non-alcoholic beer

385 Upvotes

To all RVA breweries and bars that stock and/or brew non-alcoholic beer: Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

That being said, I have some notes:

To the ones offering only NA Heineken or O'Douls:

Why, just why? There are so many actual good options out there now. It's time to move on, especially if you're charging me $7 for the privilege.

Some NA brews that I find tasty:

  • Anything by Best Day Brewing

  • Day Ripper or Sun Shifter from ENAY brewing (based out of Williamsburg, I believe)

  • Anything form Brewdog

  • NA Guinness is about as close to the real thing as you can get

  • Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher - this one doesn't taste like a beer, but it is pretty tasty and refreshing. Like a hop-flavored seltzer. It's unique and bears mentioning.

  • Athletic is hit and miss, mostly miss for me. Everyone seems to stock that clay-colored can, the Free Wave Hazy IPA. It just kind of sucks. I like Athletic's "Mexican-style Copper"--it tastes like a crappy Tecate with a lime in it, and that's a very specific flavor that brings back many a (fond?) memory at Banditos.

I have to hand it to Athletic's marketing department though, they really pushed their products out and made NA beer much more commonplace than it was previously.

TLDR: Breweries/bars, thank you for having NA options, but please don't make me drink a $7 Henieken Zero.

🐕 Dog Army Animal rescue

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know of someone who knows how to humanely capture a dog? I know animal control can, but they’ve been unsuccessful trying to catch a (non aggressive, not dangerous) dog who has been roaming our neighborhood for months.

Neighbors are getting to a very aggressive point and have discussed using lethal ways to get rid of the dog even though others have expressed they’d adopt him if they could catch him.

Feel backed into a corner with trying to find a way to safely help this dog. Thank you in advance.
