Reply to RTD digital subscription price doubled? by StuffyMuffins
What does the RTD offer that you can't get from local TV websites, Reddit, and other online sources?
Years ago, when local papers were fully staffed, they were worth subscribing to. Now??.

Debt collectors are allowed to misrepresent themselves in some pretty unethical ways.

Reply to Relic found over the holidays by Mentatminds
Back in high school I took a date to GLOW. Now that was showmanship. And my date loved it.
Last I heard, my former date was living in France, working as a diplomat, and would be mortified if I reminded her of this outing.

Reply to Enrichmond Foundation - "A Controversial Virginia Nonprofit Collapses, Leaving Questions and Anger" by Slight_Masterpiece78
I used to run a park group, and served in a volunteer advisory capacity with Enrichmond (I moved and resigned 6 years ago).
I got to know the staff quite well and will say that I seriously doubt that their collapse was due to anything other than a bad accounting system and being in over their heads.
I know at one point they were pushed by the city to buy some islands in the James, with no advance notice. And, they were blamed for the 17th street farmers market fiasco but were never given any real input into how that project ran. As for the Apple cider Grove in chimborozo, the neighbor didn't want it, the donor didn't fund it, and it would have been illegal for them to plant a Grove of trees reserved for their business use in a city park.
As the article suggests, I think the city is equally to blame in this fiasco and I truly hope they step in and make the partner groups whole again.

If you have a tv, you can get a digital antenna for around $30 and pick up about 30 channels

No, I admit to being sheltered. I walk the museum district and carytown a lot. And the vast majority of my interactions are pleasant. HOWEVER, I readily admit to being sheltered and being able to chose most of my interactions.
I've worked retail before..at a lowes..and met a lot of strange people. 90% of them would laugh at my dad jokes and be nice. But the other 20% were memorable jerks.
YES, I know my math is off. But it's a dad joke. I will say that it takes some work on our part not to let the jerky 10% outweigh the neutral to nice majority. One ood asshole can really ruin a day if you let him.
I'm also older and hopefully wiser and have spent some time working on how I view the world and people.

Reply to Will restricting convenience stores make Richmond safer? Policing expert says no. by ety3rd
I can see a good argument for removing the gaming machines in some. And trying to remove other things that lead to loitering about, but not sure the real impact on violent crime

Is it normal to redact something like that? It seem very odd. Are they afraid the terrorist will take out the bridge? It sort of needs to happen anyway and would save the city money

Class and trash. They have a Scott's addition location and an Ashland location. You can get am idea for what they have by looking at their Facebook and Instagram pages. The stuff is used, but high quality.

Reply to Fired from my temp job the day after Thanksgiving. Anyone have a funny story to share? by Ok-Owl6515
I worked for a temp agency I'm DC years ago. I was hired out for a week to cover phones at an apt rental agency while they were in court being sued (talk about a red flag). Since no one ever called, I read a book. This made them mad, even though there were no other jobs they would let me do, so they refused to pay the temp agency.
Thankfully, the temp agency took my side. An assignment or 2 later, I worked somewhere long enough to get hired.
