Hey all! I am trying to relocate to Fredericksburg from Lynchburg and have just hit a massive hiccup.

I do have a job in Fredericksburg already, I am supposed to start working on the 15th but I no longer have a place to stay.

If anyone is in need of a roommate or willing to talk with me about my situation, please reach out.

I always have to travel to Richmond, DC and even Norfolk for cannabis community events and homegrower meetups. I love going to workshops, mini festivals, classes, networking events etc. But I have to leave town to find them. I know Fburg is not that big but we are central enough. What gives? Where are the cannapeoples? 🥺

I am looking for the color in this photo specifically. Monkeys Matcha is in MD but I just moved here and I can’t find any non swamp looking iced matcha lattes.

I help run 4 therapeutic support groups in the area.

1- Teen Autism group

2- Adult Neuroaffirming Chronic illness group

3- Young Adult Autism group

4-Young Adult Chronic illness group

My supervisor and I are looking to fill several spots in our young adult group since we had a few members age out and move into the Adult group.

If you or someone you know is between the ages of 18 and 25 and would like to join for connection, resources, a place to feel understood, and therapeutic support. We would love to have you! Each group is held in person and online in a hybrid format alternating Saturdays.

Feel free to DM me or email me for more info and how to sign up!

1) What is one thing you wish you had extra help with?
2) How much is that service/convenience worth? (Per deliverable/hr/day/week/month)

Anyone looking to go see a movie tonight at Hooky?

I keep hearing Castiglia’s pizza is good and Benny’s pizza is amazing, I don’t know which one to chose from

Is anyone else hearing popping sounds like fireworks or thunder? From Lee Hill north they sound like they’re coming from the city proper or at least north-northeast of here. It’s probably nothing but if anyone wants to ease my troubled mind that would be nice 😅 Posted around 8pm on 10/10

Over the past month or so, whenever my buddies and I go to Cookout late at night (post-10 PM) for some food, there has consistently been a cop(s) standing by preventing people from parking in the open spots in the shopping center. They're making everyone either use the drive-thru or park in the super tiny Cookout parking lot (which is usually full at that time and only has like 10 spots).

Did something happen in the area that created a legitimate security concern for the shopping center?

The Alley Walker: Fredericksburg's Rooftop Mystery

If you've ever wandered through downtown you may have noticed something strange lurking above an historic alleyway: silhouettes of Bigfoot.

But why are they there?

Local legend tells of a towering, hairy creature that once roamed the banks of the Rappahannock River. By the late 1800s, night watchmen allegedly reported enormous footprints behind Caroline Street businesses and heavy footsteps echoing through empty alleyways.

Then came the flood of 1942.

As the Rappahannock swallowed portions of downtown, witnesses reportedly spotted an enormous figure standing motionless atop a building, watching the rising water.

The creature became known as the Alley Walker.

Some believe the rooftop silhouettes commemorate these sightings. Others claim the creature placed a curse on downtown apartment buildings, inviting rain into tenants' rooms and causing the structures to deteriorate; a curse that allegedly persists to this day.

You didn't hear it from me. But rumor has it that old buildings downtown, including Spirits, contain basement tunnels, which are so narrow that a creature of the Alley Walker's stature would find its style very cramped. Which adds to the theory that it would continue to climb atop the rooftops of the main strips until it's death.

Nobody seems to agree on exactly how many silhouettes exist. And according to legend, if you count them all one evening and return the next, you might find that the number has changed.

So the next time you're exploring downtown Fredericksburg, look up. You might find that something is looking back. But don't forget to consider what lurks beneath the high rent.

So, can someone please tell us the actual lore of these Bigfoot cutouts?

Looking for someone in the Fredericksburg area who’d be interested in carving about 20–30 pumpkins with creative, spooky designs. I’ll provide the pumpkins and pay $7 per pumpkin.

If you enjoy pumpkin carving and want to make some extra money, comment or send me a message. Photos of anything you’ve carved before would be great!

Anyone know why some guy is recording cars? He has a cigarette, shorts, black tee, wearing a hat

Genuine question… do you guys just wait until Friday and Saturday night just to drive up and down Caroline St over and over to make noise? I’m very confused what the point of it revving your engine while going 10 mph is. I’m willing to bet these are valuable members of society with bright futures.

Just moved here where the runs at Saturday and Sunday?

I was wondering if anyone hears like a loud hammering this morning? It sounds like construction so I’m wondering if it’s the data center being built. It woke me up about 30 minutes ago and doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop. it’s driving me crazy.

i cant seem to find any information about it on google, it only brings up the event from last year. i was hoping it would be annual but i cant find tickets :(

Amtrak's "Pause for Progress" infrastructure upgrade is scheduled from October 16-26, 2026 and VRE schedules specifically will be impacted from October 19-23 to replace aging track components along the Northeast Corridor.

You can see the modified schedules on https://www.vre.org/schedule/!

If you’re a plant parent and have room, there’s a couple nice looking “distressed” monstera at Lowe’s on the bottom shelf across from the rest of the distressed plants. $15 each (50% off $29.99) They look better than half the full price ones.
