I'm looking for two things that can hopefully be handled by local businesses. First is a zipper repair om a backpack. Great pack, just needs to have the zipper either reset or replaced.

I'm also looking for a colored light bulb for Halloween. My neighbor already has a purple bulb so I'm looking for a green or orange bulb to go with it.

I got a green bulb at Lowe's. It was 3 bucks.

For leather, I've taken stuff like that to a shoe repair person (downtown has/had a few). For cotton type fabrics, I go to a tailor.

It's a nylon or composite fabric so I guess I want a tailor. I can go all over RVA with my job, but I live in the city now. I just want to support a local business.

Yeah, I haul my stuff to the tailor down the street from me for that reason, but any of them are likely to be able to work on this sort of thing if you bring it in and explain the task.

Puritan Cleaners does basic alterations and repairs, so that’s one option!

You can get a smart bulb for $8 and change the color any time you want.
