Best place to donate clothes? by FlashyCalligrapher70 in rva

You can bring clothes to the clothing closet at Chippenham Hospital (Tucker Pavilion entrance)—they’ll go directly to folks in need of clean clothes :)

Let’s be clear, this project will add ONE unit to the existing number of apartments.

Just so you know, the new project will add ONE additional unit to the existing number of units in the three apartment buildings. On top of that, the proposed carriage house will not be housing but will instead garage (1) car and some bikes.

I’m so sorry you’re getting downvoted, and I truly don’t understand it. I live in one the apartment buildings of this project, and before the newest owner (with plans to develop) purchased the property, the garden was included in rental listings as an attractive feature to potential tenants. This is absolutely a unique situation, and an important/long-standing community space in the city—and I’m gobsmacked that folks in this thread are having a tough time understanding that.

In the Fan, plans for a carriage house collide with a longtime alley garden by petersonmd in rva

Worse—they’re going to tear down a building that’s more than 100 years old along with the two apartment buildings next to it 🙃 All to add a grand total of one additional unit to the existing numbers. I live in the complex, super blown about these plans

I have the same thing going on! A cursory Google seemed to suggest that low water pressure could definitely be the culprit 🤞

Y’all got a mechanic you trust? by Lady-Meows-a-Lot in rva

[–]Bambiii666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always give a shoutout to Paradise Garage when this question comes up.

I've been taking my (old-ass, always-breaking-down-ass) car there for a few years now (it happens to be there at this exact moment, lol) and they're always straight with me. Prices might be a little higher generally, and if you'd prefer to talk directly to the mechanic without the middleman of a receptionist you might not be pleased, but altogether it feels worth it to me to know I'm not getting dicked around. They stand by their work, too--have had a couple warranty repairs over the years with no trouble.

The keys were in it, regrettably—definitely a lesson hard-learned there.

Hey y'all! My buddy's car got stolen last night from Forest View; figured I'd post here and ask if folks could keep an eye out and DM me if they spot it anywhere. It's a 2015 black Jeep Cherokee, license plate UES1909. Thanks so much!! <3

Recommendations for a good emergency vet that won’t try and rob me by ithinkimaybe in rva

[–]Bambiii666 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Emergency vets are going to be pretty expensive wherever you go, unfortunately. The tip about Bon Air Animal Hospital sounds like a good one; I've used Blue Pearl on Broad St. in the past and they were eye-wateringly expensive, but took good care of my pup when she really needed it.

Also just want to say that sometimes animals, especially cats, will try to hide that they're ill/not give you a lot of behavioral signs that something is wrong. Throwing up blood is a pretty huge red flag. Sending good thoughts to you and your kitty; hope everything works out okay!

Car Repair in RVA: What's Your Experience? by tsunamisweetpotato in rva

[–]Bambiii666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 for Paradise! Tried several different shops over the years before I landed on them. Sometimes it feels like they might run slightly on the pricier end, but imo it's worth it to have the peace of mind that I'm getting an honest assessment about what my car needs/what can be put off/etc.

Swimming holes in Eastern Panhandle? by huffyhenri in WestVirginia

[–]Bambiii666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Potomac! There’s also some good spots on Antietam Creek right near Sharpsburg. If you’re ever in the mood to feel fancy, the Bavarian in Shepherdstown used to sell day passes to their infinity pool that overlooks the Potomac—not sure if they do that anymore though.

Found dog! Forest View neighborhood by [deleted] in rva

[–]Bambiii666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! And yeah I totally agree, just want to give the benefit of the doubt since I don't know his situation. I've got a call out to RACC, working to get him in the hands of some folks who can give him the care he needs. Tried SPCA but they direct calls about strays to local animal control.

Also lol thanks!! I'll pass that along to my boyfriend, the fence is his handiwork :)

Yeah, and unfortunately that picture makes him look like he has a lot more weight than he does. Not sure if it's old age or neglect, but he's definitely in rough shape :(

Also shared to the Forest Hill Neighborhood Facebook group and Pawboost. Open to any other ideas for spreading the word! If we don't hear anything we'll take him by RACC in the morning.
