The Good: There are bars and restaurants in walking distance if you come over to Union Hill / Church Hill or walk down to Shacoe Bottom. The overall area has improved from where it was 20+ years ago.

The Bad: I live three blocks from there in Union Hill / Church Hill and more less avoid the area you are talking about. I was attacked while walking my dog over there by a crazy person with a baseball bat near the lovely Ocean Grocery (can someone burn that down please or at least require that shit hole to close at 11pm).

My 2 cents: On my specific street I have not heard of, experienced or seen any problems. Walking in Church Hill and Shacoe at night from bars has not been a problem for me. I think North Church Hill will continue to get better as it gets further gentrified, which (unpopular opinion) I am rooting HARD for. One can only hope.

Assuming "tn" meant "tonight"

At least back from where I'm from in Fort Lauderdale, there were a lot of car shows on Friday nights and a few Saturday mornings. Fright nights tended to be the younger crowd with hydraulics and lighting and stereos (usually at a Costco or Walmart lot) and Saturday mornings were the classic cars with gorgeous iridescent paint jobs 😍

The same seemed to be the case in Atlanta and in LA. I wonder if it's just a common Friday night/Saturday morning thing across the country?

Thanks!

Nothing that you or I can do will change between tonight and tomorrow so you have a good plan.

On a more upbeat note I'm glad that TLoU seems to be good. Once this season is over I plan on resubbing to watch it and House of the Dragon. Normally I'd just torrent it but I'd like for the views to count.

It’s cocktail night and I’m feeling pretty solid y’all. Is there somewhere in Richmond where I can buy a singular can of the hard Baja blast? I’m curious to see what it taste like but I don’t wanna commit to a whole case.

What are your favorite underused emojis? I like 🪸🪺🌾

Feel better!

And yeah, I hear you on that last part. I just don't want to watch it tonight. A post-apocalyptic inescapable fungi infection storyline doesn't give me nightmares but I'm sure that video would if I saw it hours before I go to sleep. :(

Def am! It's really neat seeing scenes that are 100% picture-perfect duplicates between the game and the show. The amount of work they put into some of the show's sets that are only seen that one time on screen is incredible.

Also enjoying seeing some of the subtle—and some huge—differences they made for the show and it's getting me to think about things a bit differently for the game.
