I think you'll have to do the marinade yourself, previous reply here looks solid! If you go to New Grand they sell beef thinly sliced already, it's really hard to do it on your own so it's good to pick up.

Costco has pretty decent bulgogi but it’s more sweet and not too spicy. Can always add some spice to it to get some heat

I go to DSW in Willow Lawn and make sure to buy comfy insoles and other padding. I also go for block heels or wedges.

True as well, my home has a giant 22 foot by ~18 foot window in it which makes it “unique” for hvac operations. Solar heating and cooling. Some drafting although the window is double sealed (a new window interior to it as it’s original steel and iron framed window from 1913, with all the original glass).
Looks great though and fills the home with a lot of light.

This was exactly what many people said when the BOS was “debating” cutting cash proffers in half in 2015. With that move, the BOS not only increased the velocity of development, they reduced the ability of the county to grow the infrastructure in parallel to the growth in households. I know that the cost of proffers are just passed on to the home purchaser, but I’m not sure there is a better way to get the funding up front to support the growth as it is actually happening.
Developers are happy though.

Probably New Grand Mart in Midlothian. I've gotten some banger sauces and rice noodles there so I'd imagine they have it too.

Saxon’s has a good selection and their back room has great deals.

Hull St is the absolute worst at morning and evening rush hour.

Or I dunno. Maybe the developers can be forced to put money towards infrastructure since they’re increasing the population density and raking in the revenue.

Moseley resident here. Seriously wishing the BoS would do their job and force developers to put some revenue towards building new schools. Tomahawk Creek is at twice its capacity. We’re building schools to catch up instead of building to get ahead. Don’t get me started on Hull St, either. It’s very clear this is one of the fastest growing areas any time you need to do a thing: get gas, go grocery shopping, drive to 288. It’s madness.

Were up and coming! Wish a Trader Joes would move into that old Shoppers Value spot.

Closed in April of 2021. Home value has allegedly increased 37%.

I’m not a woman, but I’m a huge fan of “Clarks” dress shoes. They have dressy looking casual styles, that are comfortable.
My ex-wife used to wear Merrell flats. She really liked them.

I have found that I have to order those sort of shoes online.
Or maybe Saxon Shoes (not sure if they are still around, it’s been awhile).

I think they’re talking about the brand new gated parking lot, it hasn’t been there for long

interesting, it usually avoids that issue. But if your system is oversized that would be a complete issue.
You might be able to adjust airflow down a bit. Just don't go too far or the coils will freeze

Go check out one of the Plato's Closet locations. My lady friend found the best perfect pair of flats to go with a dress where nowhere else could come close, the west broad store.

Springer checking in. Bought my house in 2015 and Zillow says my house estimate is almost double today. I think the brand new Highschool helped too.

You are correct. My home design however has a large (oversized for the home actually) system and the intake is in a small hallway near the front door (small amount of total air volume in that space).
When the system is on it pulls all the either heat or cold into that smaller hallway space which makes the thermostat on the wall miss read the rest of the house. Example. Temp gets push up or push down much more then the remaining of the house. This causes short cycling of the system as the air settles and the temp differential quickly changes. Kicking the system back on when it’s not needed for the rest of the home.

I needed a good dressy shoe for my daughter’s wedding last year. I was also the wedding coordinator and needed to be on my feet most of the day. Saxon’s had great options and I found a mid-heel nice comfortable dressy shoe.
