They’re “not naming the company” but we all know it’s Seibert’s and the city’s deliberately crappy management of parking that causes all this.

They’re not going to get paid more without a union to represent them and fight for it.

Yes, but they’ll be on their phones while there. It’s not just the kids. The parents will also be on their phones. As will the staff, the opposing team, the mascots, Willy, and the class pet hamster.

Yup. It’s pretty much all phones.

My boyfriend and I are having giant nacho platters and bong rips.

For corporate office drones: Boat fucking House.

I wish the metaverse would just die already. Having to wear a headset is a hard pass. It’ll require developing something more akin to a holodeck as depicted in Star Trek for me to have any serious interest.

You could always run for city council on a platform of parking justice and reform.

Henrico isn’t some radically different foreign country with a wildly different culture. Tens of thousands of Henrico residents spend more time actually in Richmond due to work. They have the same rights here you do. Take the time to not be a prick next time.

The new name on GrubHub IS the concept.

They’re trying another concept.

Not as far as I know.

There’s some light industry near Chamberlayne Avenue closer in the city.

I’m trying to make out what the sign on present-day Lucky 13 says.

That’s right up there with the person who insists on sitting right next to you in an empty theater with 100 empty seats.

That wouldn’t be Richmond Real™.

That is the most thoughtful write-up on this issue I’ve read.

I agree with regards to the community centers and the surplus. This is why I cannot trust the city; they’re always speaking a double narrative. We’re either too broke to afford schools or we’re flush enough to afford tax rebates. We can’t have it both ways.

It’s also hard to swallow the fact we wouldn’t even need to replace Fox at all had RPS and the City been competent.

Living here several years has demonstrated over and over again this city does not value competence or basic upkeep.

I forgot about his existence entirely until this post.

Hello from Richmond, VA. They’re putting on this identical festival here too. 🤣🤣🤣

I was there today and noted how unusually dead it was. Around 11am. I normally joke about how that Wawa resembles a busy Klingon trading post due to the usual high volume.

I would love to see a sample of his opinions.

I hate it when the corporation wins.

Finger pointing and bullshit is on-brand for Richmond Real™.

> was an unthinkable fire

Can we really call it “unthinkable” when the fire was entirely preventable if not for Richmond’s gross incompetence?
