Eating ham and beans for the... fourth day. Yesterday's beans and hams would probably have been my most underwhelming meal, but I bet today's lunch can top it.

Good morning and my 5th day of leftover ham for the underwhelming meal

I second Mongrel! Love that little shop, too! Add that to the list in my post because it’s all right there in Carytown: https://www.mongrelrva.com

Hi, fellow teacher (& Reading Specialist) here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ You are def. on the right track. 🙌🏽 Below I’ve listed 3 places, all in Carytown, that I think you should def. pop into:

1.) bbgb books: a bona fide bookstore for young & young at heart: https://www.bbgbbooks.com

2.) World of Mirth: hard to put into a single category; some might call it a toy shop, but it’s so much more: Toys for kids of all ages https://worldofmirth.com/

3.) Ten Thousand Villages: an eclectic and cool gift shop where part of the purchase/proceeds go right back to the countries where people made the items: https://www.tenthousandvillages.com/richmond

P.S. A 4th place: The local Dollar Tree might be a fun spot to run in & check out the latest wares! When I personally lived out of the US & would come home to visit for a week or so, I would always go into a Dollar Tree store & shop for my students! Things I couldn’t get off of the mainland.
Hope this helps! Enjoy your time here! ❤️

I've done that shockingly , just have not been able to find one for sale .

Not General Tso's but I recently had Orange chicken from Cheng Du , it was neon orange garbage .

Dang ok. Thank you!

Lmao Goad Gatsby? He’s about as unbiased as the North Korean media

It’s mentioned in the Richmond BizSense link

Lol @goadgatsby. Only if you want antifa important news. That is about as one sided as Faux News.

O wait, influencer then yes he is. Much like Donald.

Judgements on city quality from someone who's chosen to live in NYC? What's next, restaurant reviews from a dog who eats his own vomit?

Jeff and Jeff in the morning. RIP.

Don't forget Baja. Although I think the new place's floors are still sticky

Grew up in Richmond, spent about half of my career in NYC, the other half in California and Portland.

Why are you all so enraged? Richmond is a speck on the map compared to NYC. A lovely speck I love coming home to, but that’s the realistic context. If you’re the dorkiest kid in college who gets invited out or recognized by a pretty girl, maybe don’t spit in her face.

How so?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I’ll be calling them all in the morning. Appreciate the help!

I always thought the cocktails at Secret Sandwich Society were fun, and, if I am remembering correctly, they change them regularly so there is always something new to look forward to.

Plus, their sandwiches are delicious!

Anyone know if that awesome house with the giant Christmas skeleton survived that wind storm. Basically it was a tropical storm force winds. In winter. Or a major blizzard without snow

hoe you just moved here from NJ 2 years ago lmao

It was scrapped last year or year before last. 2 apartment towers are planned on either side of the canal there. Locks 7 & 8.

That’s a real thing?? Duuuude I’m missing out

Me. I’m a local influencer.

People on this subreddit are very bitter for some reason..

Granted, their offerings are focused on their own stuff, but I've liked all the cocktails that I've tried at Virago.

The other piece is the Pacific Northwest banned black people for awhile there or at least Oregon...
