I'd bet way over majority - 95%.... barring strange issues.

I'd even go so far as to say most inspectors would be rolling their eyes when they came out.

technically yes. Practically usually no. Just get a professional electrician to do it, and they will do the necessary

Hot for Pizza does two slices of cheese pizza and a drink for $7

Kenn-Tico food cart outside VCU hospital. Best wraps in town!

Not even a contest. Pepe’s all the way

Edit: zzamm is fire too

Yea, it hasn’t gotten any better. They are super understaffed. And, while some of the guards are good people, there are others who have the same mindset and behaviors as the inmates, they just haven’t ever gotten in trouble. And they can’t afford to get rid of any of the shitty guards because of the staffing problem.

Oh true there’s a “mr Pepe” on hull street

I wonder which is better now I gotta try

Pepe’s is on Midlo not hull so marginally closer haha

No doubt. They're clearly underwater in this, and unfortunately (for all involved, except some strange folks behind the curtain) It's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm sorry you were in there during a time when the sheriff and deputies have clearly lost control and good judgment.

I was briefly in there at the start of COVID and remember the ACLU organizing protests to let more people out who were just waiting for trial. I can't imagine it could have possibly gotten better since then. The comments from the auditor about the confidence in staffing from people incarcerated that they interviewed were just laughable.

I recommend henrico. I grew up here and it’s safe to walk/ride around as a kid/adult/dog walker.

I still live in Henrico now but on other side of broad (Henrico is pretty big)

Within Henrico the tuckahoe area is good if you can find somewhere that fits your price range.

Or dumbarton possibly

Also, hello neighbor!

We just bought in Oregon Hill and are thrilled. We moved to The Fan in 97, then bought in Midlo in 99, then bought in Powhatan in 2002 then sold and rented in Carver in 2021 and here we are. We’ve done the city, suburbs and country and are ECSTATIC to be back in the city for a multitude of reasons. Walkability, restaurants, the river, the energy, the arts scene.

We also have a teenager that’s attends Richmond Public Schools. We living the whole life!

How spicy you talking for lemon? I like Anokhas lunch

I agree. The loud endless circling on a nice afternoon or late at night is even more annoying when it's a secret police plane.

Young House Love https://younghouselove.com/ is a great blog written by a couple who lived in RVA for most of the time they were writing it. They don't create new posts but they maintain what's there. They have lots of how-to posts to search through for whatever your next project is.

Painting - cutting in the edges. The embedded video (also on their YT channel) is really helpful. https://www.younghouselove.com/how-to-paint-trim-like-a-pro/

> Special shoutouts to HCAVa Physicians for allowing new patient appointments online, then cancelling those appointments on me multiple times because they actually don't have anything available for a full nine months

FYI: hca is the largest for profit hospital system in the country. I would say more, but I don’t want to get in trouble for slander.

Sooo I just got out of Richmond City jail. The dude that called from the jail had gotten stabbed twice, and after medical treatment, was put back in the same pod. He called the news and spoke about the attack. Also, one of those deaths was an overdose, a reliable source in the jail told me. They are very hush hush about everything in there. A couple months ago a deputy got chased out of the pod by inmates with shanks. Then a female deputy got attacked by a man with mental health issues. A lot is happening in there that they don’t want getting out

Yes, it is required. But its not required and a contractor might not even bother.

Agreed. I had to go to one late in the evening after a bicycle crash. They were obviously understaffed and overworked. They didn't clean the wound properly before gluing it shut and aI got a staph infection. Not fun.

Pad Thai in Mechanicsville. Entrée + appetizer for $9

My favorite is Anohka, entree, soup or salad, vegetable of the day, rice, naan, dessert. But it’s in short pump. Lemon has started doing the vegetable thing too but they’re always too spicy for me

Speedy Gonzales at Mexico- taco, enchilada, rice or beans, chips, salsa for 8.99 and it’s super fast

WHAT I did not know that! Which is probably a good thing. The itty bitty dessert is so nice after all the spice

You seem like a staunch inmate advocate. Can you point us to your many posts demanding humane treatment of inmates other than privacy?
