The 757 in 4 Minutes

The Five

1. AFI at the NorVa tonight. 7:30pm, 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk. If you grew up on "Miss Murder," this is church. Thursday: All Them Witches — same room, completely different universe.
2. "The Heart Sellers" at Wells Theatre, through Oct 18. Virginia Stage Company's fall production: two immigrants, one Thanksgiving, 1973. The warmest thing on a local stage right now.
3. The Harrison Opera House lawn series continues. Free outdoor programming. Bring a blanket, look cultured for zero dollars.
4. Your weekend, sorted: Murder Mystery Dinner at the Granby Theater (Fri 6:30pm), "Champagne & Sin" burlesque + live music at 37th and Zen (Sat 8pm), Jersey Party with The Jukebox Band at Venue 757 (Sat 4pm).
5. Early voting is open across the seven cities. Weekday mornings: in and out in ten minutes. No excuses.

The Take (opinion)

The 757 doesn't need another smash burger spot. It needs later hours. This is a military town full of people who work nights, and half our best kitchens close at 9. The city that feeds its night shift wins.

Marketplace Gold

A "vintage" console TV in Chesapeake, listed at $200, "works great" — per photos last taken during the Clinton administration. The cabinet, though? Beautiful. Somebody's getting a great TV stand and a science project.
