Oh wow the Watson one is gorgeous and I don't even like dresses. The rest kinda look like lingerie.

Echinacia Rudbeckia and Yarrow do very well here. But definitely talk to the folks at Sneeds for their recommendations!

https://www.facebook.com/moultonhotnatives and Sneeds has a whole native section right up front

Less naturey, but you can get a picnic basket at Garnett's and take it to eat across the street in the park.

It's a great spot. Went there often in the summer for punch and $1 oysters. Hopefully new owners will take advantage of that space.

I also don't know different state's mayors or cabinet members.

This is how I feel about all the questions like "who is the new prime minister of some country i cant locate on a map and will never visit." I don't venture out of rva because last time i checked the news it was depressing.

I'm a big fan of living in Oregon Hill. I can walk to the bars and the river in 10 minutes. There are some houses with enough back yard to let dogs run and a central park that is used for dog exercise too. The 2 houses that were for sale are now pending but it's worth keeping an eye out for listings here. Owner occupied is increasing and families are moving in.

Just constructed so it should be smooth still.

It's an issue because of drug use. That's why the Bryan Park one, for example, has been closed. Now there are portapotties.

Maybe try the Southside Community Center skatepark.

In the same way they were never going to overturn Roe v Wade?

I purchased so many used ones from the Book Depository that are stacked up. Ones that have been made into shows (Station Eleven, severance) or movies (white noise, women talking, the wonder) and even the manga for Alice in Borderland. Need to read all those!

Wasn't thinking of being that organized just hoping for at least a book a month if not more. It's so easy to just play on my phone instead of reading and that's the habit I need to shake.

Better half is working so I should start on my resolution to read more. Hitting up either Rosie's or PLP for a 7pm toast because this old lady rarely makes it past 830 anymore.

Worst score ever and now I'm inundated with posts about some guy that everyone else seems to know about on every subreddit. How am I so out of the loop???

I love No Such Thing as a Fish. Funny British people going on deep dives into random facts. You can pick it up at any episode.

Y'all are gonna hate me, but I don't see the appeal of food at Joe's Inn. They have a nice bar scene but I wasn't impressed by the meals I've had there. Much prefer Bombolini pasta cooked at home and a pint of Guinness at Penny Lane or Rosie's.

Only been once, but really liked their fish tacos and margarita. Just not convenient so I haven't gone again. I was more disappointed by don't look back. I miss the fish tacos at Sullys happy hour.

The idea is nice, but when 99% of the dogs at the shelter are some sort of pit mix that are triggered by other dogs, cats, and kids, it really limits your options.

My dad sent me a book about the Illuminati. It made an excellent white elephant gift the next day.

Husband had to take my car bc his wouldn't even start this morning!

I have new windows. I dont think they make a huge difference lol. It's likely the 1890 house built directly on the ground with no insulation.....

Whereabouts? Have a Guinness and some Hadji Bey for me!

Voted around 7 at Dogtown Dance and it was super quick and easy. Kudos to all the people that worked hard to get everything set up in time. I have to do a site visit and I absolutely hate it. I don't function in the cold and I dislike leaving the house and driving anywhere.
