If anyone on southside wants to come by my house and take a bunch of logs off my front yard... please dm me.

I cut down a massive red oak, and then our equipment to move the logs broke down. So it's been stuck out there for a couple weeks.

Not seasoned.

I had a couple family members move out of the city because of the monuments coming down.

Embarrassing. Their loss though, as their former home values skyrocketed in the year following the sales. Now they live in the county and the new properties have actually decreased in value since they moved out there.

Hah I would have worked this show. Would have been my second or third wrestling event.

My problem with the coliseum being closed is that it was a fully functional venue and was shut down as a political pawn by Stoney to get the navy hill project approved.

In the years prior it was deliberately under maintained... just compare it to the Scope.

Hundreds of people lost work because of that.

You obviously live on the north bank of the river west of downtown.

I live and work in southside where the vast majority voted YES. A lot of people here truly believed that a casino would help the community.

Urban One spent over a million dollars spreading lies to Richmonders about the benefits of their development. They probably spent a similar amount getting local officials on board.

Richmond is spending all this time and effort for a casino...

Levar, we got real problems in the city and a casino isnt one of them.
