They’re not gonna put another grocery store in the same shopping center as Kroger; I’m sure they have a Grocery Exclusive provision in their lease.
It’s gonna be a Super Raising Canes

Reply to comment by EmergencyYoung in PSA: Crosswalk Law, stopping pre-emptively by EmergencyYoung
Regardless of how legally correct I think this is, I share this opinion—not due to concern over traffic flow but for the safety of the pedestrians. I don’t trust drivers behind me to notice that another car has stopped to let pedestrians to cross. The pedestrians would be semi blind to an adjacent lane because of the stopped car, and a careless, speeding person driving up that lane could easily hit them.

Yeah tree that is 3ft tall…. The city put absolutely no effort to make the landscaping appealing. Feels like we’re going backwards sometimes. (Also ruined a really cool skate spot but I’ll let that one go)

In 2022 virginia supposedly banned formal ticket quotas. But I'm sure informally it's still going on. The state claimed quotas didn't exist in response to an email from from State police supervisors leaking that instructed cops to write more tickets if they wanted to retain their positions - that wasn't a QUOTA, it was just instructions. Laughable

That was my (cynical) guess, but I was hoping it was for a more noble sort of vigilance.

I mean I'm not a loaded fries person, but $9.50 is about what I would expect to pay at literally any bar or diner in most of the country for loaded fries. Bowlero, a bowling alley, charges like $15 for the same thing.
It's not high end.

You're having a bit of an avocado toast moment. A bag of frozen fries at the store is what-- like $1.25 a lb?
If a school cafeteria were serving $9.50 fries with cheese, bacon, and gravy we would all be throwing a fit that they are serving unaffordable and unhealthy food.
You are paying extra money for your fries to be extra fucking tasty and unhealthy, and not have to do the work of cooking bacon and gravy and cleaning all of that up, so you can sit down and enjoy life and friends for an hour or so.
That is not corporations driving up the prices of inputs. That's demand from people who have both the money and time to savor a nice, long, relaxing, extra tasty meal and maybe some Mimosas. The Mill is filling that demand.
It's not like The Mill is ripping people off. If you want a fine French Fry experience while hopefully also paying their staff living wage, it's gonna cost an amount of money that only the relatively wealthy can afford.

They asked for hole in the wall 🤷♀️ and I’ve found that is often the case, some of the best food I’ve ever had has come from the most unassuming places. Can’t judge a book by it’s cover.

I feel the opposite - if there's a TJs close, maybe I won't feel like it's a special trip each time I go and have to buy $500 worth of snacks, because I'll be there again next week.
