I have this issue one night a week. The VCU library is crowded with undergrads in the evening, and I don’t find it to be a pleasant place to be. There are a few other VCU buildings that are open in the evenings. Panera at Willow Lawn is fair but they start vacuuming around 830pm. I’ve tried the downtown Whole Foods upstairs but got pushed out by a drunk guy playing music loudly on a speaker who wouldn’t turn it down or leave. (I said something directly to him but decided not to approach the staff about it). I didn’t know about the VMFA being open late some nights and will check that out.
