Yep. Still here. And still so uninformed it’s laughable.

Come to the light……all are welcome.

It looks like Family Dollar version of Comic Sans.

$412 which just seems crazy.

We visit Odd Balls about every 2 months, for sure a semi-hidden treasure

What you’re describing is a symbol that carries a lot with it, and when brought to an ideological battleground, is used as battle flag. Maybe poor terminology on my part, but either way, the words on this print out sufficiently state all are welcome, and the rainbow brings a lot with it politically that is best avoided at a school. Same way I wouldn’t want teachers wearing MAGA hats even though the literal words on the hat are fine, the symbolism just stirs people up.

Nice

Triangle Rock Climbing, Ashland Skateland, and Jumpology (now DEFY Richmond) were always favorites. We’d also go to the various gymnastics clubs around town when they had Open Gym days.

If we were looking for low-key, low-cost/no-cost options strolling around the greenhouse at local nurseries was and still is a fun thing for us as a family. The VMFA is never a bad option. Odd Balls Collectibles and similar places are a fun nostalgia fest for us and the kids enjoyed all the toys.

We have a membership to CMoR, and our oldest loves moving around there. I don’t think he’s quite old enough to do most of the science museum, I’m thinking like 6+ is the sweet spot there

Ugly weather calls for grabbing the corner booth at your favorite spot with good friends. Some of my very best Richmond memories are from walking to Commercial Taphouse or The Franklin Inn during a blizzard and eating and drinking and laughing for hours.

Maybe you can make your own favorite memories this weekend at one of the events in The Weekend Event Thread! Or let people know about the event you're looking forward to and add your own.

my SIL talked me into going on the Delirium at KD (I'm a huge coward when it comes to rides, like the scooby doo was too much for me as a kid) and yeah that'll get your juices flowing

A nice walk around the Art Museum is great for a rainy or cold day. Sure I've been there plenty of times, but I can move about and have an enjoyable time. If it's not to rainy I'll go for a stroll down the canal walk and the T Pot bridge. The breeze is sometimes harsh, but I rather be outside moving then cooped up in the apartment all day.

Well according to my husband: balloon rides. He's terrified (he honestly thought we were going to be flying around the city in a balloon like we're in 180 days around the world or whatever)

There are no sides, there is just a bunch of bigots who wish they lived in the bronze age and then there is the rest of us who live in a society.

It’s used as a way to identify “which side” one is on. Otherwise the words on this print out are sufficient to share the message you mention. The same way the Don’t Tread On Me license plate is a battle flag for tea partiers

What about the dude she married that immediately took off? Isn't he complicit as well?

Depending on their age, the Science Museum. When she was younger, I could park myself in the same general area as my kid and just let her go to town on the exhibits. Pretty sure she made a new best friend every time we went.

It's only political because one side says it is. Just let people be what they want to be as long as they aren't hurting anyone and keep the government out of it

Never thought I’d see a comment about someone going to the same elem and middle school as me. Wild.

I liked nearly all of my Hanover teachers and still keep in touch with a few of them to this day thanks to social media. Did have a couple shitty ones too tho but they were definitely outnumbered by great teachers and staff.

Lastly, eff this sticker and banning the rainbows in the schools. Shit like this is why I left Hanover and Virginia

Hanover County: “All are welcome. Wait, no. Not you.”

also Sugar Sweet Desserts in Kings Charter. She has a rainbow on her FB cover and it says “is a proud ally”. There are more of us moving into the county

Have a few bevs, sign up for the military, drive down to a nearby fort, get in a tank. Profit.

The only people who see rainbows as political are homophobes and bigots who don't view anyone who is slightly different from them as real people.
