Subject:Sex Offender Contacting Daycare in the Area
Posted by:laughin.
Time:2:22 pm.
The following is an email from Neal Turner, Emergency Services Coordinator for Montgomery County:

I am not trying to frighten or alarm you, but I know all of you have small children (or know someone with small children) in nearby daycares, and I wanted to be sure this information got passed along. I provided a link below to the picture and info of a convicted sex offender that contacted the daycare where Nikki (my daughter) works—yesterday. He said his name was “Mark” and told her he had just gotten custody of his 4 year old daughter and was interested in day care for her. He even went as far to make an appointment for a tour on Wednesday. He then called back a second time and told Nikki he was interested in daycare on the weekends and asked her if she was interested. She, not knowing any better, gave him our home phone number to contact her. After she talked to him for a few minutes—he started to give her the creeps. He called our house last night and I spoke with him….he told me that his daughter was 11 years old. Needless to say, he also freaked me out. He had blocked his number at the daycare, but wasn’t smart enough to do that at my home and I found him on the Virginia Sex Offender Registry.

I sent an email to a state police lieutenant last night and have left a message with his probation officer this morning. The lady I spoke with at the probation office said he was being watched. Nikki found out this morning that he had also contacted Tiny Treasures in Christiansburg yesterday.

I just want to inform you and make you aware. Please pass this information along to your daycares. Here is the link:

Take care everybody and we’ll all be watching out for our kids!

Subject:Hair salons?
Posted by:megm.
Time:12:13 pm.
Hi,

Despite having lived here in Blacksburg for almost 10 years now, I have never had my hair cut here. I'm looking for a nice place that will do a quality job on a simple cut and where the stylists are well trained enough that they could answer questions I have about the style I want and be able to make suggestions. So what's everyone's favorite place? Thanks

Subject:Date restaurants in the area?
Posted by:citrisweetea.
Time:1:05 am.
Mood: sleepy.
Hey guys!

It's coming up on me and my boyfriend's anniversary, and I wanted to know if you guys had any advice for a really good restaurant to go to for our special anniversary dinner on the 16th (a Sunday). The place we were currently thinking about was the Farmhouse Restaurant in Christiansburg. If anyone's been there, what did you think of it?

Any other places anyone can think of? We're trying to avoid the typical family restaurants like Applebee's, Macado's, Olive Garden and whatnot. Something special is definitely key since this is a special occasion for us.

Thanks, in advance, for the advice and comments! :)

Subject:Saturday night: Psychedelic electronic music @ Champs
Posted by:vision_serpent.
Time:11:51 am.
Hey, everybody,

Looking for something to do? Want to hear something different?

The nationally-known T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi collective from Asheville, NC, (www.touchsamadhi.com) will be playing at the Cafe at Champs Saturday night, starting at 10:00. They'll be playing some of the wildest psychedelic electronic music you'll ever hear on a nice, big, custom-built soundsystem. We're going all-out on psychedelic decor and video projections. Expect to have your mind blown, or at least to just dance your ass off. ;) And it's only five bucks! It's a great deal for something unique as this, and it goes to support our hard-working DJs.

Hi Blacksburg people!

I live in Radford and am VERY GRATEFUL for all the cool advice I've gotten since my move here in June. Here is another question: any free stuff or birthday deals in the RU/VT/Christiansburg areas? I will be 27 on Jan 31! :D

Thanks a bunch.

I moved from out of state, where I am still technically a grad student, but I live and work in SW VA now - so I am terrified of tax time. Back where I lived, there were lots of free tax services. Is there anything like that around here? I just don't trust H&R peoples. Thanks!!!
