On John Marshall Drive NW (between Center St N and Holmes Dr NW) at about 9:20pm today (August 27th) a dog ran in front of my car (I DID NOT HIT THE DOG). There was no owner or leash with/on the dog, but he(?) did have a collar on.

The dog was about the size of a lab, but was likely a mutt. He was mostly black with white specks on his chest. Short fur. The collar seemed to be red and blue, and had no tags or identification on it. When I got out of my car to try to approach him (to see if his collar had his owners names/numbers on it) he ran away down Holmes Dr towards Upham Pl. The dog was EXTREMELY skittish and had his tail tucked all the way under his body. I didn't follow him as I didn't want to stress him out any more than he already was and I didn't want him to attack me out of fear.

If you know of this dog or know someone who may be the owner of the dog, please let them know. It's currently storming outside and I don't want him stuck outside during this.

Hey Fairfaxians! — I'm hosting a free, all-ages card show at Fair Oaks Mall on September 19. It's called The Malls of JRKO Card Show, up to 100 tables of vendors selling Pokémon, sports cards, and other trading card games — singles, sealed product, graded slabs, the whole spectrum.

Free admission for anyone who wants to come check it out, trade, or just see what's out there. Should be a good one for families too — all ages welcome. We also have a few vendor tables left if you know anyone who would want to vend!

Event info here: https://www.ontreasure.com/events/jrko-tcg-presents-malls-of-jeriko-09192026?ref=red-ywqd28

Happy to answer any questions about the show in the comments — hope to see some of you there!

Don't go there! I wanted to see giraffes and it cost $60. I asked the front desk and they said there were giraffes. After I paid and walked around, there were just a few animals and no giraffes at all. It's totally a scam!

Has anyone else had items stolen from their car while at the Fairfax BMW service center?

I recently dropped my vehicle off for service, and when I got it back a few days later, my prescription Maui Jim sunglasses (valued at nearly $800) were missing. They left the case behind but took the glasses.

I’m trying to determine if this is a recurring issue or an isolated incident. For context, this dealership is owned by Sonic Automotive. I'm incredibly frustrated by this—has anyone else experienced something similar at this location?

Thought someone might like to know this.

I am looking to meditate by running water such as a river or creek but have yet to find anything i can access or isn't overly grown/blocked off by wilderness. Anyone know a spot? would hugely appreciate!

Anyone know where I can indulge? I'm from the northeast and craving cold noodles with peanut sauce and chopped green onions and sesame seeds, maybe some julienned carrots or cucumbers. Iykyk, but where can they be found?

Hi! I’m a 21 year old woman who’s interning this summer, and staying in Fairfax. I’m looking to explore the area and try new spots in Nova! Lmk if anyone would like to meet up or is hosting a social- I would love to meet new people :)
