I have long, super straight, fine-but-thick, virgin hair. Considering a digital perm, but hesitant to commit because I can't seem to find anyone advertising their perm prowess.. Any C-ville salon/stylist recommendations? Esp if they're known for good digital perms?

My husband and I are moving to Charlottesville in a few weeks. I'm trying to find places that sell vegetable starts once we're settled. I grow tomatoes, peppers, and some greens. Back in Idaho I had a nursery that actually carried starts suited to our zone, not just whatever the big box stores had out. Does Cville have anything like that? I want places that grow their own plants locally instead of shipping them in.
I'm also wondering about timing. When do people around there usually put tomatoes in the ground? Our season in Idaho was short and unpredictable, but I hear Virginia summers get humid fast. Any varieties that tend to do better in that climate? I have a spot picked out at the new place, but I'm still figuring out what will actually survive. I'm avoiding big box stores if I can.

I recently moved to Cville and this is my first Halloween in the area. I moved from somewhere where it doesn’t get dark as early as it does here so I was wondering what time kids usually start trick or treating here? Want to be set up and ready!

Also, does trick or treating on the lawn usually pull all the local kids away from their neighborhoods? Or do families do both? Just wondering how many kids to expect!

I’m in the Rio Road area. Anyone know what’s going on?

Looking to get partial/full highlights or potential color and wanted to know if anyone has recommendations for stylists! Thanks!

I’ve just moved here to Charlottesville and have decided that I want to start going to the gym again. uplift definitely has the best aesthetic of the bunch at first glance, but I wonder if anyone could tell me more about their experience. For context I’m a 23 year old man with a history of working out at home by myself 🫠

I’m looking to get my roots bleached soon and hair toned. Looking for good hair stylists that won’t be extra expensive and can get an appointment in the next two weeks. Any recommendations?

Last thread on this is a bit dated so I’m curious what people like nowadays. Cost not a concern as long as food is good.

Also curious about Noble’s new brunch that launched, if anyone has been. I went for dinner there and it was atrociously bad and the brunch seems overpriced but I am a sucker.

Steep, windy roads with no way to get around them. They see a line of cars behind them, but they don't pull over. They are the most important things in their world. F everyone else.

I am collecting and pressing fall leaves for an art project. Looking for some pretty reds, oranges, and yellows. Any recs?

Maples, oaks, would be really excited to find some japanese maples

Thanks!

That's it? That's pretty much all I have to say.

Do you have the app? Where is it accepted?

I have been denied at:
JPJ (you know my love of UVA sports policies)
Allianz theater in RIC

My questions are:
Do you have the app?
Has it been denied?
What is the purpose of this app if you can’t use it in the state?

Another update on Gordonsville’s 287(g) agreement with ICE, and this is a pretty big one:

Timesheets and other records obtained through FOIA contain evidence that Gordonsville police participated in Greene County immigration operations.

That includes the June 23 operation along Route 29 in Ruckersville that sparked an AG investigation.

And one of those Gordonsville officers who clocked in for a task force operation on June 23 is the Police Chief himself, Chris Votaw.

He’s been asked if his department worked with Greene County Sheriff’s Office before and wouldn’t answer.

A month ago, the mayor characterized Greene County’s immigration operations as an “illegal” and racial profiling.

After publicly apologizing for a lack of transparency at a community meeting two weeks ago, both the mayor and the police chief seem to have stopped responding to questions at all.

If you haven’t been following this story, Gordonsville Town Council is voting on termination of the agreement on Monday, October 19. Residents at meetings have all been opposed to working with ICE, but the vote is a toss up and Mayor Brooks seems to be the biggest holdout. Here’s the post on that:

And there are also a bunch of transparency issues with this agreement that you can read about here:
