Emily Warden uses ethically sourced diamonds & is super amazing. Highly recommend.

MILF island for sure, you’ll catch lots there. Locker Room is a great place to battle your Pokémon

Oh, it's great outside when it's good weather. They need to extend the covered area, downgrade the covered area to Cobra Cabana or PBR relaxed, and let people stand under there when it rains, making it large enough to handle the masses under fire code.

I don't know, maybe DUI checkpoints.

Cary isn't a hard road, yet drivers manage to fuck up. We do our best, but you can't design stupid out. MOST of Cary is as straight as an arrow. There's like what, two bends near the VCU area? How hard is it to just go slow? You could do things like Franklin where you narrow the travel lane and eliminate parking so the road 'feels' narrow which naturally slows drivers, but unless you want a constant 4 inches of water to drive through every time it rains, geometric changes to most of the road isn't going to be feasible - ESPECIALLY given current design standards.

If you look at how many inlets are out into new facilities it's crazy. Every manhole structure is like $6k a pop EASY.

Im in lakeside, and I'd be perfectly happy to make a spot in our little pet memorial garden.

Baring that? I also have a post hole digger, and i'd be very willing to help you place your cremated friend down guerilla style

theres that too. my go to example for a pedestrian success story is innsbruck, austria. similar population, but their pedestrian area is booming. it also helps that they have 6 (six!) tram lines and intercity rail to every corner of the country + other countries (as far as amsterdam!)

but they also didnt flatten half the city for highways and supported density instead of suburban sprawl. go figure

My backyard offers an incredibly competitive rate at $0 per month. Just lmk. Your cat had a wonderful life because of you and I'm sure they are thankful.

Yes we did this for our chihuahua, and scattered her near the river.

Oh awesome. Love the use of the term “bizarre”, which is absolutely a concrete and well defined term!

People always say that, but they never do.

My guess is that there are two sides to this story.

Just passing the test isn't all it takes. You also have to actively give a shit about others you're sharing the road with every time you drive. Crazy stuff!

Gone. Got it.

The reason to go to brambly is to sit outside in nice weather a park-like setting, rather than a patio.

And because they have a fenced in area that’s basically a dog park for children.

Neither the food nor the drinks are good or reasonably priced.

Not yet, but I've heard about it. Hope to catch it in pics one day.

The majority of Richmond's housing (aside from city neighborhoods built around shopping districts and markets) is large suburban communities that contain no sidewalks. There are extra-wide roads so drivers go unnecessarily fast through residential areas, making people not want to walk. And, even if you were to walk, there's nothing nearby worth walking to anyway. And there's nothing to look at except boring greyge house after boring pale yellow house. "Oh, Cheryl planted a new azalea bush!" Great, exciting.

People that have always lived in the 'burbs come to the city on the weekend. They drive their massive SUVs down residential streets like they do on their street that could easily be a 4-lane road, and end up taking up two lanes down Cary St. because they don't know how to drive on a narrower street. Then they don't give consideration to bikers or pedestrians because that's not what they're used to. The amount of people are so willing to hop in a $65,000 giant pickup truck that they've never really used and they can't see over the hood, then drive down pedestrian-heavy areas like they own it and pedestrians and bikers don't matter, is appalling.

Thank you so much!

That's like those people that move into new housing developments near a racetrack

Seconding Diamonds Direct in Short Pump. Friendly, helpful, and affordable.

What do you think the better cheaper solution is?

Gone.

The problem most often is not the City but all the residents and businesses that will have a tantrum because their parking has been removed or customers can't get to their business as easy as they could before. There's no winning.

It doesn’t help that a 2023 F-150 is about the same size as a 2003 F-350. Trucks and SUVs are too big and should be regulated in terms of height. Downvote away.

I would love to see 2/3rds of all drivers licenses revoked. Unfortunately that would strand tens of millions of people who through no choice of their own were born in a country that forces car ownership by way of providing no alternatives.

The city doesn’t exactly hire the best.
