nah. it was just ran into the ground. relied too much on large reservations to make money, but they didn’t have enough of said reservations. also pay was shit and they’d offer a raise and then take it back and not supply pay stubs thinking you wouldn’t notice.

Reply to Forest Hill / Woodland Heights by Bumbalatti

We moved to Forest Hill a year ago and have really loved it. No regrets at all.

Positives: Amazing parks and trails for walking/jogging/MTB; South of the James Farmers Market; Downtown/Cartytown really aren't that far (though I wish there was a bus went over the Nickel Bridge); some absolute gems for food and drink (Little Nickel, WPA, Laura Lee's, Veil, Crossroads); a bit of funky nightlife in the form of Thirsty's and the Locker Room; really friendly neighbors; generally feels safe aside from a few random incidents.

Negatives: Groceries — it's hard to do proper grocery runs without making an annoying drive (however, The Outpost does a great job of filling small needs and is super walkable for us); Dangerous roads to walk/bike, especially Semmes; the lack of a local hardware store; biking across the river can be a bit tedious, none of the bridges are great for it.

Reply to Best tattoo shops for modern geometric and blackwork styles? by lbman

geometric doesnt seem to be a big style here. we are awash in american traditional, Japanese style, realism. neo-yrad, black & grey... Tony Nos at Lakeside does sick blackwork, but not really geometry.

Mitch B Tattoos in Virginia Beach is the closest I can think of that really specializes in geometry.
