Lol thank you for this!

While not a Lego store itself, have you checked out Bricks and Minifigs near Short Pump? They have new and used sets, etc.

Trains don't work that way any more. The Interstate Commerce Commission is long gone, and then came "Precision Scheduled Railroading," an Orwellian term for the opposite of scheduling. Online Amtrak has a tracker map, but not the freights.

The common wisdom over at the Ashland railcam site is that CSX is fairly unscheduled, though regular trains have route numbers. (Youtube for Ashland Virtual Railfan, their only camera in Virginia. Occasionally fans have tried to use highway cameras.) The two types of freights are unit trains that carry one thing, and manifest trains that carry many things. You could ask the generally helpful people there about this route, on the Youtube comments. Some of those folks seem to be freight spotters, but they're pretty terse. Mainly Amtrak fans.

The haphazard timing of manifest trains was a big issue in the averted rail strike. Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR) leads to every day being an on-call day for workers on the ground, as well as interfering with Amtrak. Railroad profits are good.

Have they said anywhere if there's gonna be a Lego store somewhere in the vicinity? Please? It's such a long trip to Potomac Mills...

We javelin the beaches and mountains. We have history. The state parks can't be beat for hiking and camping.

Had their fried pickles and they were the best. Sliced razor thin. We were also pretty drunk and starving after being let down by the crappy food options at a Browns Island concert.

What's that?

Everything Wawa is better then Sheetz. Sheet has terrible quality food half heartedly assembled.

I haven't heard bad about any of the ones mentioned. Those that support community events, sponsor teams, group rides, and/or demos on dirt tend to take the job seriously.

Those shops that tend to focus on sales to families... I wouldn't throw shade, but they aren't usually named as the go-to bike repair shop for serious enthusiasts and pros.

I miss the $1 burger night on mondays.

Congratulations OP!!! I know it’s a shock. I don’t know about you but I’ve always heard great things about being a parent and how amazing it can be. The fact that you’re here just looking for advice and support speaks volumes. Good on you Sir!!!

www.findhelp.org they have different things and apply for Medicaid (Prenatal) and WIC as soon as possible and do not listen to any family member that tells you it is not worth the hassle. I wish I had kept it the full time my son was within age.

Virginia has been “free the nip” wayyy before it became a trend

Compared to everywhere else in U.S. when calculating whether or not to move ... we finally decided, it is worth the humidity to stay.*

I can’t resist the old Daniel Tosh joke: yeah I like seasons too. That’s why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones.

The people, the trees, the mountains, the beach, the proximity to other cool states.

According to the OP:

• Trespassing
• Property damage
• Breaking/entering

Would you be surprised if this person has priors (and or was intoxicated) that act as aggravating circumstances? Neither would I. OP was within his right. What jury would side with this piece of shit?

Anyways, the story reaffirms my belief that I should at the very least get some pepper spray if not a gun cuz I'm not very big and my dog isn't a fighter.

Coqui gets my vote.

I’ve never been, but in high school it was the go to Homecoming and Prom spot.

You should have gotten married before the kid and the house. Get your mind right, pray regularly, and work hard, and it'll work out but you can't continue doing what brought you here - it's obviously not working

Wegmans has brioche cream cheese king cakes

You could try a very direct approach. Find pictures of trains on the bridge in this sub and message the photographers to find out when they took them.

That, and trains run when there are enough things to move.

When I moved to the midwest in '07, trains passed through my neighborhood several times a day, but starting in 2009 traffic noticeably dropped off to maybe twice a day. Traffic didn't get close to normal until 2011.

You can Google commercial train schedules, but what you'll get are pages that are set up for industrial tracking and you have to have an account with the shipping company.

You could try the old photographer's trick of picking a day to sit and wait.
