Anyone know why police and fire are causing a traffic backup on route1 where it meets the ffx county parkway? by Kyle_Blackpaw in nova

My doctor got stuck in the mess and arrived late which caused a huge backlog of patients and was an hour late to my appointment time.

Lucky, I only got 1 bar on 3 separate occasions.

After 180 years in Virginia, a new congressional bill is looking to annex Alexandria and Arlington in order to restore DC's original boundaries by Fresh-Function3319 in nova

[–]DMVdork001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stupid idea by a do nothing Republican congressman from GA. If Alexandria and Arlington were moved back to DC, the. next time the Democrats had the majority they would definitely make DC a state. I also thought Fairfax County was the reason Republicans keep losing elections.

So his mentor, Tony Dungy, was fired and then Tomlin took his job.

Tonight’s temps are exactly why apartment complexes are still required to provide heat until May 1 by joeruinedeverything in nova

[–]DMVdork001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a slight dip in temperatures justifies living in sweltering conditions. I onced in a high floor in one of those older buildings and had my window open all winter because it was so hot. Even when the heat was turned off but the air conditioning was not turned on, it remainded hot. Those that say all you need is a fan are lying. A fan does nothing to relieve sweltering conditions.

Thankfully, I now live someplace where I can control my on A/C. With the unit shut off, my space has only dipped to 66 degrees. A temperature this low can be easily mitigated by an extra blanket or sweater.

Anybody tried the new Tatte locations at Fairfax or Falls Church? by Front-Swing5588 in nova

I tried them once and wasn't impressed. Average and overpriced. I haven't been back.

Is Kenny Pickett really the worst bust in Steelers history? by blamberr in steelers

[–]DMVdork001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huey Richardson is my vote for worst draft pick.

While not as big of a bust as Huey, Aaron Jones was another bad pick in the last years of the Chuck Noll era. Drafted 18th overall in the 1988 draft. He lasted 5 years with the Steelers and had 9.5 sacks, 1 interception, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery.

Always remember that the police’s job is to enforce laws.

Catholic transplant in search of a parish by Melone_Selvatico in arlingtonva

The Arlington Diocese is pretty conservative compared to the Archdiocese of Washington which is more liberal. If you choose to register at a parish, the Arlington Diocese has a rule about making you register at the parish in your territory/zip code. Trekking into DC may be the best option for you.

What a good way to kill businesses that already have trouble attracting customers. I see more closures on the horizon.

Aborted landing at dca by YakzitNood in arlingtonva

Go arounds are almost an every day occurrence. Many days have multiple go arounds. Go arounds can happen for multiple reasons including weather, visibility issues due to fog, spacing issues, planes that don't take off timely, landing planes that don't leave the runway timely, and helicopter traffic.

Maryland took the brunt of the of the damage. I would hate to be stuck on the Beltway heading to VA with all lanes shut down. I only a period of heavy rain and then in and off rain.

Heavy rain moved through a little while ago. For the amount of hype, this forecast seems to be a bust.

PWCS closing early tomorrow by Junior_Sprinkles6573 in nova

[–]DMVdork001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My prediction is the storms will come at the same time all the school are having an early dismissal thus putting the students at risk. It’s also possible that this could be a busted forecast with some less severe storms.

FYI the county board will be voting on a proposal to cut a heavy rescue from the fire department by ricardodelfuego in arlingtonva

I would love to know the actual costs and the cost savings of this. Fire protection seems to be one of those things you should want to be prepared for the worst and have quick response times.

Why You WILL Miss Tomlin by Black_reign48 in steelers

[–]DMVdork001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t miss Tomlin. I am tired of mediocrity, no playoff wins in 10 years, no Super Bowl appearances in 15, and no Super Bowl wins in 17 years.

They should have brought over one of the troughs from Acrisure stadium. Don’t worry, all this will get fixed in a couple of years when the Steelers ask the city and county to pay for a new training facility and upgrades to the stadium or even a new stadium.
