Oh shit might have to come out of retirement

I’ve lived in cities where people actually stopped for pedestrians standing on the curb at a crosswalk. The cities also ticketed for failure to yield to pedestrians. I’m not sure why this is so difficult in Richmond.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I would personally recommend cremation. We used Caring Pet Cremation Services which is local when our dog passed last year and I’m really glad we did.

people forget that downtown RVA was literally built before cars existed, so its intrinsically a great foundation for pedestrian, bike and non-car traffic.

I don't have kids there, but it's my Rotary club's main service project, so I'm relatively familiar with their struggles. It's a school that wants to be better, but still has a way to go to get there. One of their biggest hurdles is that ESL is a huge barrier there. More than 40 different languages are spoken as the native tongue for the students there. That said, they have a caring principal and my club has built community gardens for them, do classroom reading to students, a welcome back to school carnival in the fall, and various other projects. You may want to see if you can afford other districts in Henrico.

Honestly my main issue with it is there is two lanes. Often if I start walking in front of that car, cars in the other lane cannot see me and I have difficult seeing them. I’d just rather cars go and I find an opening myself.

This reads like an episode from the Dear Bastard! podcast—a humorous (and potentially triggering) podcast for anyone who's gotten stuck in the CC/reply all pattern of an unnecessarily-bureaucratic email thread about nothing.

The restaurant was willing to seat/ serve OP’s group when they were sitting outside, so it doesn’t sound like being short on servers was the issue.

I don’t believe people are genuinely confused. I think they maliciously and/or deliberately disobey them. I see people gunning for the gas and straddling the center of the road so they hit them.

The blind turns are horrifying! There are near misses by my house on a daily basis and I have witnessed a few accidents

Would be nice if it was ready in time for Monument on Parade on Easter. No chance of that I bet

The plastic poles as you get off the I-95 ramp into Shockoe Bottom. They are there to keep people from making an immediate right but enough are knocked down now they are just hazards in the road.

If we don't come down hard on these clowns... we're going to be up to our balls in jugglers!

If it’s public property in the city, it will be disturbed or you will be disturbing. You should look into cremation.

How is it dumb when it works to cut down “accidental deaths 😒it worked when the bike races came to the city. I’d rather have my money go towards that than the new plants they are putting on the sidewalk by the DMV

I hit a lot of them in my Jeep on the first batch they put out because I thought it was hilarious

This is probably the thing I hate most about driving around Richmond on a daily basis. The vast majority of times I try to turn onto another street my view is completely blocked by cars parked right up to those corners. You'd think driving an SUV and having a higher vantage point would help, but honestly I still can't see shit and it stresses me out every time. I just want to make a damn turn without perpetually being terrified of taking out a pedestrian.

Given their proximity to the murder Exxon + reading their reviews, it seems:

1. they are an attractive spot for the kind of people who hang out at murder Exxon

2. they do not want said people patronizing the establishment

I respect it tbh

There's a place in Sandston called "Faithful Friends Pet Cemetery". Not used them, but I've driven by.

I can't access the article, but I assume one of these was the porn ID bill? Fascinated to see how that's gonna be enforced

Yeah I never rely on these for people to stop. It inevitably ends with someone in a car stopping, me shaking my head "nope", them shrugging "wtf", then driving off with people behind em pissed. I just wait til it's clear. Been doin it 32yrs and seems to work fine.
