I just got a PCP appt with Primary Health Group at Retreat as a new patient, I was able to get in within 3 weeks. I've heard good things about the doctor I'm seeing but I've also have heard the front desk staff is a bit grumpy. I haven't been yet so I can't report any personal experience yet. Their website appt maker didn't work for me so I called. I've also heard amazing things about 7 Hills but they're direct care and right now I would prefer going through my insurance.

Lakeside Nieghborhood, its right on the north edge.
Lots of affordable cape cod style houses in your price range. 10-15 minutes from downtown.

I think it's totally reasonable to deny information requests that violate the privacy of specific inmates. It's no different than the CDC denying FOIA requests that would expose individuals medical information.

Looks like a pretty standard boomer Facebook rant.
> Gubmint bad! Distrust gubmint! But I'll keep voting for the party that enables gubmint to be bad! Why? Because I was instructed to vote against these stupid liberals that I'm definitely smarter than! Does voting this way help me at all? No! But liberals bad! Distrust liberals! Fake culture wars distract me and make me feel smarter than the average bear!

Maybe we should err on the side of being more skeptical of government officials denying requests for information than we are of journalists asking for information about inmate deaths.

Yeah I think their descriptions of the code are meant to be leading

Patient first doctors have misdiagnosed me so many times. They're only worth a trip if you need a doctor's note or can't get in anywhere else for an illness imo. I go to planned parenthood for regular exams and while they can take a while to get in to, they offer great care.

Almost every Mexican restaurant has lunch specials. I go to Pepe’s and get combos for $7.75 or fajitas for $10.

25th st north of M is particularly bad. I'm over on 31st and Q and have had no issues with solicitors. There were gunshots a few blocks down the street several months ago, but over the last year that we've been here it has been quiet and lovely (except for the sound of trains, but I think that is true for the entire east end/south Richmond)

Damn ten years ago that 24st house would have been hard pressed to get 200k..

As a runner, I loooove church hill! You can run down 21st st to the capital trail, run east along the river, then run back up one of the best (worst) hills ever, hit the stairs at libby and end exhausted with views of the city to limp home. It’s absolutely a favorite - it’s about 5mi to the pool house area at rockets landing and back, but you can go as far as you want - if you make it a 10mi run, it’ll include some forested areas and a nice peaceful feeling like you’re in the country vibe…. It’s one of the absolute best runs… I could do it every day (except for that hill/the stairs 😂). It’s brutal and beautiful and mostly with no cars around.

It's not common to cite the code number unless it's an analysis article. I see this same thing in articles about tax changes.
Are you thinking they failed to include the code number in order to avoid scrutiny?

So seems like the answer is “yes”,because this will be >50volts. Thanks.
Looks like it’s gonna be $102 for the permit 😬

So our GP is through Family Practice Associates of Chesterfield. They’re aligned to St. Francis Medical Center in Midlothian. I’m not sure where you are but they have been great. Our primary is usually busy but her PA and her nursing staff is willing to take last minute appointments. We’ve also done telemedicine. They have evenings and weekends if you’re a busy working adult.
Hope this helps!

There a few Northside neighborhoods that I think would fit your criteria well (I would check out Bellevue, Lakeside, and Ginter Park.) Yes, it’s a city - it comes with the usual things that you get living in a city. The biggest downside is if you have kids, the schools are not great. I have lived in Richmond for five years and generally love it here!
