I had to make a map for a roommate once so she knew which streets were parallel aka alternative options for her work commute.

This pic might help! (Although I would encompass Cary St. east of boulevard as part of the Fan as well. To the west of boulevard, Cary St. is Carytown.) I think Stitchmond’s ruling of using the expressway as a southern cutoff point is very valid. I only use VCU as an eastern cutoff as the parking regulations change drastically in that area and you can get a feel for when you’re technically “on campus.”

All of the official definitions of “recession” are blind to the daily reality of the working classes, and are provided by people whose entire professional life is dependent on unsustainable “growth at all costs” capitalism. GDP growth is largely irrelevant as a measure of a country’s economic health when the majority of economic gains are distributed to a tiny percentage of the population.

We took some teenagers on a zipline through Richmond Metro Zoo. I highly recommend it. One of the better ones I have done (the best one nearby by a long shot). It is half off admission in winter (only $30) and takes a good 2 hours.
