They go to just about every active construction site in town, usually they’re wrapped up by 12:30 or so in the City.

Cumberland, Idlewood, Grace, Broad, Leigh. Am I taking crazy pills here? Why would anyone choose the roads that are clogged with pedestrians and traffic?

The existence of businesses doesn’t require Main or Cary to be through streets. Side streets also exist as do alternate parallel streets. Just consider how much quieter and nicer streets like Hanover are and not coincidentally it doesn’t connect across 195 or across the Boulevard.

I swear people act like any minor prospect of change will cause the end of Richmond.

There is an interstate a few blocks South and not even a mile North of this road. Not to mention Broad st. Which is an actual primary road.

There’s no reason Main and Cary need to serve as thoroughfares to convey traffic from downtown to the west end. Close both, Cary at the end of Carytown and Main through VCU to disrupt existing traffic patterns that are redundant and dangerous while making the two primary pedestrian districts of the city safer and more enjoyable for all.

That place before 9 am is a contractor madhouse. Unhinged.

Bought myself a custom suit through Jos. A Bank, Franco’s is another local option. Whatever you get make sure you get it tailored.

Won’t miss ya when you’re gone.

Is the implication here that black people don’t live in the suburbs or something? Unless people frequent the neighborhood now and in the recent past I’m not sure why you’d listen to folks take on what the neighborhood is like.

In general the people telling you that you live in the hood usually have almost no idea what they’re talking about. Everyone who lives in the burbs and watched local news is under the impression everything not on Broad or in the Church Hill historic district is open air drug markets and running gang battles 24/7.

That said, stay away from the Facebook groups for Church Hill, just incredibly toxic. Also lock your shit up if it’s on your porch otherwise don’t expect it to still be there.

Wow, Maple Ave. is about to get very popular and very congested.

Are you new here? Is this a prank? I’ve seen folks blow reds in front of cops and nothing happened. I’ve seen cops run red lights, people are increasingly running stale reds, like not even paying attention while texting and not even slowing down through a stale red. It’s insane.

Eh, it’s r/RVA sort of a constant around here. My guess is my unintentional double post and unpopular opinion combine to make an irresistible downvote brew.

My grandmother got so mad when I was a kid after she realized she had special ordered me the Church of the Sub Genius’ bible.

This was posted a while back. My vote remains the same, no change.

Good, that’s a good spot for one.

Most people who keep lights up after Christmas do so at least through the feast of the epiphany (Jan 6, 2023).

What even is stretch lab? A website? Very confused given OP’s vague description.

I’ll still take a few standstill incidents over normal 95 traffic from here up to there though, that’s for sure.

Drove to Long Island for Christmas.

My least favorite part was sitting on the NJ turnpike in 12 degree weather at midnight on Christmas morning just before exit 1 in standstill traffic for an hour as a 4 car wreck that blocked all lanes north and south was cleared.

My 2nd least favorite thing was the Royal Farms food I bought Christmas Eve after bailing out off the Baltimore Washington Parkway which also was totally stopped due to a wreck. Those chicken tenders were bad, the mashed potatoes were bad, as were the max and cheese and veggie sub. Lesson learned on that one.

New Grand Mart has the best prices on produce and is usually fresher with a better selection than almost any other store. Aldi and Lidl tend to have the left overs of produce and it doesn’t last long, Kroger is a bit better but always pricier, Publix is the priciest and the quality can be better but Wegman’s usually has the best produce but it’s not easy for me to get to so I just stick to New Grand Mart.

Jeff and Jeff in the morning. RIP.

VDOT doesn’t maintain Richmond City roads either.

Yea, but where is Uncle Ebenezer?
