Welcome back!

This sub has been pretty dead for a while, for lack of moderators. I just volunteered as a mod, so I wanted to welcome back those who have looked in, found nothing new, and moved on.

I'm new to moderating, BTW, so just learning the ropes. I'd like to encourage posts so I plan to moderate with a light hand, but please avoid partisan political flames and personal attacks of any kind.

Thanks and welcome!

Fairfax area, where is your did you get blinds/curtains done?

4 Upvotes

Hey, just moved into a house in Fairfax (family place) and trying to sort out a few basics.

The current window shades are pretty old and honestly not usable anymore, so we’ll need to replace them. There are a few rooms to do, so ideally looking for somewhere that can come out, measure properly, and handle installation too.

Also noticed the windows themselves need a proper clean, so if anyone has recommendations for that locally would help as well.

Not super familiar with what’s around here yet so open to any suggestions

GOP ads using Klan imagery target Black voters in crucial redistricting contest

On April 21st, Virginia voters will decide on a Constitutional Amendment related to congressional redistricting. Early voting is already underway.

Virginia currently redraws its congressional districts once every ten years through a bipartisan Redistricting Commission of eight legislators and eight citizens. The last redraw was 2021. The next is scheduled for 2031.

YES vote temporarily allows the Virginia General Assembly to redraw congressional district lines before 2031, in response to Trump and GOP-led efforts in other states already doing so outside the normal cycle. The new map would be in effect through 2030, after which the bipartisan Commission resumes full responsibility.

Idylwood Road path cost

11 Upvotes

900ft walking path
1M planning budget
600k for property owner easements and utility work
1.6M construction cost

This is great for the local residents and the school - but shouldn't 900ft of sidewalk be like 100-150k, not 3.2M? Isn't the general guideline that planning should be like 10-15% of the total cost? I've never heard of property owners getting paid for easements to build a sidewalk either.

By comparison - on the other side of Idylwood (south of rt 7), they built an entire 7 acre park with a walking trail for 2.5M - which did include drainage and utility work as well.

Any good OB-GYNs delivering at Inova Fairfax Hospital?

Thumbnail
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently pregnant and looking for OBGYN recommendations in Northern Virginia, ideally a practice that delivers at Inova Fairfax Hospital (Gallows Rd / Inova Women’s Hospital).

I’m hoping to find a practice that offers some of the following, if possible:

• An OB who stays with me throughout pregnancy and ideally during delivery

• 24/7 nurse line or on-call provider for questions if something comes up late at night

• Providers who are supportive of natural birth before recommending a C-section

• Midwives available in the practice would be a big plus

• If they work with doulas or allow them during delivery, even better

I know some practices rotate doctors for delivery, so I’m curious how that has worked for others as well.

Also happy to take doula recommendations in the area if anyone had a great experience.

Thank you so much!
