Reply to Got a call from a law firm (Ngyuen-Ballato) that would not tell me why they called unless I gave them my info. Scam? by matthiastrek
If you called the number listed for their law firm, and then they asked the same type of questions, then that sounds legitimate
I have had calls where people needed to verify my information by asking questions like that. The important thing is you verified that they are who they claim to be by looking them up and calling their publicly listed number

That’s my thinking. But for it to be a destination? It needs to be really good.

Yeah, the location is more what I would expect from a bar back in VA Beach or something - tucked away into a random shopping center. Benefit of the doubt though, I assume restaurant/ bar space is at a premium in the city and it's a risky business to begin with.

Definitely all hit or miss. Furniture goes so fast.

Didn't the "Richmond Experience" people go on some drunken rant a couple years back? I think some busy downtown restaurant refused to seat their party in front of others who had been waiting longer. The put some big post on Instagram trashing the restaurant. The next day they took it down and wrote a big apology. But there was a lot of fallout over it.
Personally, I stopped following them after they encouraged people to take a walk along the Pipeline Trail...while the James was at flood stage!

I really respect the balls it takes to just open up a spot like that out there. I hope they succeed. But I wasn’t blown away by the menu.

Dang, you aint kidding - Verdant Lady is in a really out of the way spot. Might give it a go though just for the heck of it.

Yeah I have debated making a formal complaint with the Virginia AG consumer protection agency but I don’t have the strongest paper trail

Have you been to orthoVA? I’ve had great luck with them every time I’ve been. The last doc I saw was Anup Gangavalli at St. Mary’s and he was great at explaining what is going on with my spine. I also went to Ortho On Call when I was in debilitating pain (it’s kinda like patient first for ortho problems) and the doc there really listened to me, gave good advice, and sent me to Gangavalli.
If you haven’t been to orthoVA I highly recommend; if so, shop around for different doctors until you find someone to give you solutions. I wish you luck on finding solutions!

Reply to VCU Health Mystery Billing by Geteven987
I don't have an answer for you, but just posting to let you know it's not just you. Took me six months last year to get a bogus bill straightened out. And when I was cleaning my office yesterday, I found a $600 bill from VCU from a procedure in June that I paid my portion in full in advance, because they gave me a 15% discount to do so. My last note on the bill is 10/28 - being referred for review. Haven't heard a thing since.

West End Thrift on Broad- not the same as West Antiques- sometimes has nice furniture and rugs and the money raised goes to charity.

Wow. I delivered in Roanoke and the hospital food was eh. But my family shows love with food and they brought me everything under the sun and I ate it all, haha.

Wawa used to back in the day, but probably not as good anymore, but an option

12 6 inch “sandwiches” are equivalent to a 6 footer. Might have to think outside the box

You know, now that I see it, I kinda wish that was a feature and not a bug.

Would love to know who the doc is. I’ve been dealing with back issues for 14-15 years now and it feels like most of the docs/surgeons in this area have said “surgery would fail me” and sent me on my way.

Not sure if you want one big piece or if you’re alright with it being cut up, but Walmart (and I think Costco?) does big sandwich platters
