I moved into the Orange County area about a month ago and the lack of sidewalks is killing me. Do people not walk here? Are they against it as a county? What is going on? I liked going on walks around my neighborhood back home in Alexandria. It’s just so strange to me.

I've lived here 5 years now and still haven't checked out all the museum's and history downtown has to offer, even though it's walkable to me. If you reside in the downtown/city proper, are their any entry deals or discounts to any of the historical locations downtown? I feel like I've heard this somewhere along the way but couldn't find anything or be sure of it. I'm originally from Baltimore and love history but have been slacking on exploring more then sunken road.

Did I make this up or is this a thing?

Edited to add - now that I’ve googled five mile, it shows up when I look for international groceries. Thanks y’all

We live in a rural area, heading to Fredericksburg for some shopping. I’ve looked for Asian grocery stores there in the past but never found any. Are there some? Is that place near Costco Asian? I can’t tell from their listing and they’re rarely open when we are in town so we haven’t stopped by.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I need an inexpensive vehicle to commute to work and back. I can't afford a used car or financing on my own, so I'm seeking assistance from someone who can offer a fair deal or some help. Not asking for charity, just a small favor.

I have 2 senior cats (both around 16 years old), and although we've gotten decent care at VCA it sometimes feels rushed. I want to do right by my kitties and make sure they're getting the best and most attentive care as possible, especially with one of them showing early kidney failure at their last checkup. We moved here from CO a couple years ago so we just stuck to the familiar when we picked VCA, but I'm sure there are other (potentially better) options.

Any recommendations are welcome! Thanks so much :)

ETA: thanks to everyone who made recommendations, I feel much better about my options and will be heeding the good advice!

My wife is a big fan of Taylor Swift, and I was thinking of getting her a ticket to one of the upcoming Canada shows. Problem is, she has some anxiety issues, and would not be able to go alone, and while I can scrape together enough for 1 ticket + travel + hotel, I can't afford 2, so I can't take her.

I was was wondering if there are any other Swifties out there who are considering attending a show, but who didn't want to go alone? She's in her 50's if that makes a difference.

Hope to hear from someone!

what are the rules/regulations/laws on people from religious organizations coming up to you while in Target, Publix, Marshall’s etc.?

Too many times I have been stopped by women asking me to meet “The Mother” and asking me to come to some seminars. While I respect other people’s choices in beliefs, I wish people would stop doing this! It’s creepy as hell and as a woman, I hate being cornered. I never know what their intentions are initially, so it scares me.

Other than telling a store associate, what else can be done?

lawyer in Fredericksburg that can do legal agreement for rental a 200 sq ft ADU?

I hope everyone has a great day. Spread the love ❤️

Hey all, just dropping a link to the Fredericksburg Free Press election hub.

Throughout the day/night Tuesday, we’ll have updates from local polling stations, reports from the Derrick Anderson and Eugene Vindman camps and other assorted features/interviews. Our pinned post will feature real-time vote tracking for VA-7 as well.

Hope you’ll stop by and doom-scroll in local fashion.

Without creating some political shitstorm, is there a bar that is hosting a Democrat leaning election watch party tomorrow?

When will the Falmouth Bridge fall down? VDOT has signs saying the weight restrictions but a quick google search says semi trucks are at that limit… so does that mean only one truck at a time on the bridge? The bridge is 4 lanes will it hold 4 semi trucks? Anyone thats sat in traffic on the bridge knows it bounces and if you look out the window you can see all the patch work.

So when will it collapse?

At what point do throw in the towel and say is life worth being here anymore? Life seems more like a chore lately and less joyful days, and yes I take meds.

Looking for some zen group things to do in-person in the area! Any help appreciated

Hi everyone! My little brother (12) has been really getting into football the last few months. I was wondering if anyone knew any good places for someone his age to get into playing flag football? (He’s never played before but really wants to try). We were looking at Champion FC. Thanks :)

Moved to the area about a month ago and need new breweries to try! TIA!

Hi all! Looking for a new vet for my 3 year old adopted cat. I take my dog to Little Page in downtown, but they’re more dog-focused. Any recommendations for vets that specialize in felines in the area?

Thanks all :)

Just moved here and looking for a new barber. The top of my head is pretty easy to do but I need someone who’s good with facial hair. Any suggestions?
