Reply to comment by McCheetah in Lost heat 36 hours ago- landlord said it won’t be fixed until Monday due to holidays by manchegoaway
i don’t know about here, but in NYC larger apartment buildings have a dedicated superintendent that performs maintenance in exchange for reduced or free rent. That’s easy for a large millionaire landlord to swing. Mom and pop renting out a second property obviously can’t do that. At most, they have a property management agency that acts as a middle man to hire third party companies to do maintenance like this. They can’t do that if there are no technicians available to hire because demand spiked on Christmas. At the end of the day, the landlord isn’t going to be found negligent of anything here. It’s a freak cold snap on a holiday that took out heat for many, many homes. They have an obligation to repair it within a reasonable timeline, and reasonable isn’t going to be same-day given the circumstances.

Well, that’s impressive. Still shitty, but impressive.

Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle it’s called heroic, yet if he kills a man in the heat of passion, it’s called murder?

It does, you’re just too dumb to realize it.
>The landlord shall perform the duties imposed by subsection A in accordance with law; however, the landlord shall only be liable for the tenant's actual damages proximately caused by the landlord's failure to exercise ordinary care.
An extreme cold snap that spikes demand for HVAC techs on a weekend where very few HVAC techs are working ≠ demonstrate a landlord’s failure to exercise ordinary care.

Just got back to Richmond after driving for 8 hours (was supposed to be under 4.5 hours). I’m drained and happy to be home and done with family time for a bit. Gonna make dinner, grab my book, and curl up with my cat.

It’s a trip. About 25 min from mine in the Fan, but Yu’s China Bistro in Centerville (Goochland just west of 288) has the best general tso in the area imo. Chicken is always fresh, white meat, no odd bits, crispy/crunchy, flavorful, etc. Nice little bits of sliced garlic and green onion. Chef’s kiss.

$5.95 convenience fee on a $50.00 ticket seems more reasonable than whatever it would be today.

You mention Schezuan— I hope you’ve checked out Peter Chang and Cheng Du. Definitely the best Schezuan in the area.
As for General Tso I personally think Peking on broad has the best.

Ah that’s great. I remember the next day I was flying out of RIC to LAX. John Cena pulled up at the urinal next to me in the RIC bathroom. His elbow touched my arm. Never washed it since.

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.

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.

Fair! And every time I post a recommendation I'm aware that I'm helping drive that number even higher. :(

Southern Railway is also a good option for this type of crowd

I remember my mom would win tickets all the time from those radio giveaways they’d do when WWE was in town. I miss the Coliseum (and this shitty era of wrestling)

The WWF and Monster Jam shows at the Coliseum were fucking great - I miss them coming to town. I'm not lobbying for the Coliseum to stay, but I'm sad to see it go.

Dr. Jones is the absolute best but new patient appointments are scarce because he's up to 9700 clients
