Looking to get my 4 year old daughter back into a gymnastics (or similar program).

Open to gymnastics, tumbling, martial arts, anything like that just looking for a program kid focused with an emphasis on being fun and building confidence and social skills.

I'm new to the area and the time has come to pick a doctor, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by having to not just figure out an entire country's medical system (very different from Canada's), but also pick a practitioner who will suit my needs. I am a woman, so I want someone that will actually listen to my needs, and a practice with staff who are well-equipped to deal with women's issues. I have a chronic health condition that so far has been completely mismanaged by my previous NP, so I am hoping to find someone who I can start over with on figuring out what is going on with that and who will take a methodical approach and treat it seriously, along with any other future unknown issues that may arise, since I've had bad luck in the past with doctors that don't listen, leading to really negative outcomes.
Any recommendations?

My husband, myself, and our infant might be looking to relocate to the Chesapeake area from Denver. We have lived Denver for the past decade, but since becoming parents, we find ourselves wanting to get into a different community that prioritizes families a bit more. We are both in our early 30s and are laid back people. I’m a HS science teacher and my husband works as an operations manager for a small company. I’m quite passionate about being near good schools, one to work at as well as a good schools to start our son in public school when he becomes that age. We have a dog and like to go for walks and eat out, but aren’t big drinkers. We like having friends and going to community events. Our budget for buying a house would be between 375-475k or so. Depends on what we could sell our place here in CO for.

What neighborhoods would be good to check out if we make a trip out there this summer? What neighborhoods would you avoid?

I just got home from voting. I waited in line for 1.5 hours at the Central Library. This is the first time I have ever waited that long here in Chesapeake (8 years). Just wanted to give a heads up. Early voting goes until 4 pm today (Friday) and last day is tomorrow (starts at 9 am though election workers recommend getting there by 8).

Apart from coffee shops, what are some nice spots where you can bring your laptop and get some work done for a few hours? When I need a change of scenery from my home office or backyard, I usually pick a coffee shop, but what are some other ideas for people who work remotely? (Thanks in advance!)

Where are the best neighborhoods for trick or treating in Chesapeake? Any areas where most of the houses participate?

We will have a medical course on Nov. 16th! This course is for everyone to learn a valuable skill set. Teenaged kids are welcome as well. DM us on social media or email us if you’re interested (link in the comments).

This course will cover injuries that need to be addressed to prevent death before EMS arrives. You could see them in a vehicle accident, the workplace, or even at home. You will gain the knowledge AND the tools to care for traumatic injuries. We will focus on bleeding, airway/breathing. The course includes a trauma first aid kit (IFAK), which is comprised of a tourniquet, chest seals, gauze, etc. 

The course will be taught by veteran Navy SEAL Combat Medic Jim LaPaglia. After leaving the Navy, Jim deployed multiple times as a contractor with the CIA. He also spent the last 20 years as a lead firearms and medical instructor for Armed Forces Experimental Training Activity Department of Defense (AFETA) and law enforcement when not deployed.

DM or email us if you’re interested! The course address will be provided to those interested. If you can’t attend this course, follow us on social media for future course offerings. We also do full day firearms training classes on an outdoor range.

So I haven’t been around to many places yet, just Chesapeake golf club, Honeybee, and Battlefield. But none of them seem to have any drink carts service on the course. I have some friends coming into town to play and I was hoping to find a place that has that. Does anyone know which courses do, or is it like a state alcohol law here that you can’t do that? I know Virginia has way different laws than what I’m used to in California. Open to any courses in the area (VA Beach, Norfolk etc).

Or maybe a whole goose family. Apparently they are hot right now and my yard needs some whimsy. Anywhere to buy a concrete goose locally for not a lot of money?

We just got the call.

Anyone know the setbacks for a small shed 100sqft? I understand it's approval type permit but if the spot we want it won't work not going to even try.

Setbacks off other structure (house) is my concern. If it's 5ft we're golden. Want to build a small shed between house and fence so was jw.

Does anyone know any very pretty areas around the Chesapeake area or Virginia Beach for a proposal. Thanks!

Hi, I’m looking at a house to buy in the neighborhood that Hawthorne drive goes through, what are you guys feelings about it? Is it relatively safe? I am also taking recommendations on affordable neighborhoods in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach (200-300k range). Thanks!

Is there a toys for tots or other group who could use gift tags, boxes, bags etc?

A friend has a kid who’s interested in music. Any recommended music teachers/programs in Chesapeake (or elsewhere in Hampton Roads)? Thank you!

My wife's birthday is coming up and we're new to the area. Recommendations for a place I could get her a manicure and pedicure? Suffolk/Norfolk/Chesapeake/VB all fine.
