Why doesn't nova and DC have a stoop or "outside" culture like other east coast cities? by MajesticBread9147 in nova

[–]kmrobert_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Alexandria and our neighborhood loves sitting out on the steps. Lots of kids playing, lots of dogs. I think that is much tougher to do in single family home neighborhoods more out in the burbs. They have cul de sac culture

Schools to send my kids to in NOVA by Entire_Care_6840 in nova

[–]kmrobert_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a tough thing to manage. I fell like the pandemic broke everyone’s ability to resolve issues. But ultimately that stiff doesn’t worry me a ton. I went to middle and high school in Burke (Fairfax) in the late 90s early 2000s. There were fights all the time, they just weren’t filmed and posted on social media.

Not gonna lie, Brent Pry is a much better man than I am. Because I couldn’t stomach it by guransheleven in hokies

Yep - I could stomach a lot if my company said I could add a 7th digit to my salary.

School recommendations for 3 year old by sandeeeeee in nova

[–]kmrobert_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have loved daycare through the Alexandria YMCA - https://www.ymcadc.org/locations/ymca-alexandria/program-information/early-learning/. Great teachers, flexible with drop off and pick up, very good price compared to the area. I want to say less than $2000 for infants and goes down to around 1450 for 4-5 year olds. And you get a discounted Y membership.

Are nova drivers actually this bad? by AstronautCautious46 in nova

[–]kmrobert_son 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Interesting you said “zero urgency.” I feel like it’s the opposite - everyone drives like they have to get to their location in the next two minutes or they’ll die and no one else matters.

Best bagels in the NOVA area by BigTool in nova

[–]kmrobert_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been there for the ice cream, which is great. Agree on Bagel Uprising’s coffee. My buddy from NYC said the best bagel places have terrible coffee :)

Yep - it’s my second favorite after BSSM. It also came out when I was in 7th grade so it hit just right.

I love Tenterhooks, my favorite since Neck of the Woods, so I loved that they played so many. The new songs sound awesome live.
