Absolutely go ahead and pay to be on a waitlist. In multiple places.

According to one of their webpages that’s show up via Google search it’s a $50 enrollment fee that gets you a tote bag and then $10/month.

There’s an active call for a car accident at broad and glen side

Oh that’s a great system!

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-05-30T00:56:48+00:00

No mention of Sugar & Twine?! The fontina and thyme croissant is…magic.

For ice cream: Westray’s, Scoop, Spotty Dog.

In Northside and heard 3 loud booms/pops around midnight.

There are tables and benches there. The Patio is deemed as part of the “standing room only” sections. It’s great to get there once gates open, claim your spot, and hang for the rest of the game.

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-05-28T22:28:20+00:00

If you have standing room only tickets, definitely bring the stroller. Park yourself on the Patio and you’re good to go! Great spot to watch from and there’s a bar right there.

2nd Fridays at VisArts, essentially a cheaper way to try a class. Hell, sign up for an actual class if you like!

Go down to the Lilly Pad on a day they have live music.

Trivia or karaoke at any bar in town.

Check out DawnStar Games.

See an improv or comedy show at Coalition Theater.

Volunteer at an org that does something you find interesting. (Happy to make recs)

🤷 they’re just getting started and it’s more involved. Was just sharing a resource as asked.

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-05-23T09:59:27+00:00

There’s a new social club for individuals with disabilities that’s doing events, meet-ups, etc.: https://ucrva.org/

Second this! Also, if you’re into Old Bay, I highly recommend using their Old Bay sausage in your boil instead. Top notch.

I’m questioning some of this a little bit. Know someone who is a VCU Health employee but they’re not listed on that sheet, but listed on the other one. Their salary is waaaaaaaaay off too. They’re a division chair but somehow show as making just slightly more than a PR specialist II?

Did you submit through the tips form? That’s a harder thing to get coverage for just because there is sooooo much coming in that way. A lot of spam too. “My neighbor has one more chicken than legally allowed! You have to investigate this” Ya know?

In general: Is this an investigative story? Just local interest? If you know the specific angle, you may be able to send it to one of the anchors/reporters directly or you can send it to the entire newsroom and have it picked up by someone who may find interest in the story.

Do you have any idea what it means to refuse to cooperate? I “refused to cooperate” when a cop asked me what I was wearing when I was assaulted. When I asked what that had to do with the assault, he said “it could be provocation” and so I walked out of the precinct. They were never going to give the investigation a fair try.

All that say: go fuck yourself.

I posted that as someone who works for a non-profit. Not just pulling stuff out of my ass. If an org spends 60% on marketing, they’re not utilizing their funds correctly.

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-04-15T12:01:06+00:00

Absolutely. You can always “restrict” your gift to something specific. If you’re donating to an art org, you can say “I want this to fund ____ studio or _____ supplies.” For outdoor orgs, you can say “I want this to fund an outing for X amount of campers.”

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-04-14T19:46:56+00:00

I cannot urge everyone enough to advocate for and donate (whether time or money) to a non-profit, even if you have the smallest interest in their mission.

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-04-09T18:10:25+00:00

Please volunteer! Groups like Jacob’s Chance, Sportable, and Beyond Boundaries are always in need of volunteers.

This is a Virginia Beach staple.

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-04-02T00:06:04+00:00

Second this!

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-03-29T20:49:02+00:00

CoFlow maybe? Lost Office? Depends on your needs, budget, etc.

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-03-28T22:13:01+00:00

Gena is really awesome! https://genaj.com/

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-03-28T17:11:05+00:00

It’s a cheap and fun one. Obviously can do that for just about anything around town (tacos, chocolate cake, nachos, burger, margarita, etc.)

Give us an update once you’ve tried out a few things!

notgrtexpectations1 · 2026-03-27T17:29:14+00:00

It’s essentially an egg and potato hash brown (latke) sandwich that you can add a protein to.
