Thank you for all the helpful suggestions! Heading to Perly’s this week.

You are delusional if you think the money isn't the reason Henrico County West End schools have the best public school test scores in the area. It's about access to resources. Wealth in Richmond is heavily concentrated in the white west end. To deny that is just racism, really.

Went there once with my wife and 8 year old. It was over $40 for 2 reg meals and a kids. Food wasn't any better than typical fast food. Haven't been back since.

Lol I don't know what you're going on about. There's tons of normal people in Short Pump and the west end. It's not fancy, formal, upscale etc. that's literally just nonsense unless you think all newer suburbs fit that description.

Thanks for giving our guest an excellent example of why people say Richmond would be fabulous, except for the people. You can split hairs about old money vs new money, but you just outed yourself as a classist asshole.

Oh owner responses to bad reviews? I’m all about that. Gonna go read some reviews now lol

Sent PM

Michael Kors and Warby Parker aren't particularly expensive either.

That brisket is like candy. I had it last week and I’m still dreaming about it.

Oh right, they built that hotel onto the side of the mall so that regular middle class people could fly in for the day and go shopping at Michael Kors. Yeah I forgot they were targeting just your everyday, average working person when they added the Warby Parker.

Yeah. Location. Gordonsville is cheaper than Richmond 😏

Is Wawa only for office workers now?

It’s almost like they should support building more housing to accommodate this

It's not fancy or upscale, it just has more expensive new construction houses and better school districts.

Westhampton, River Road and Windsor Farms are fancy/upscale etc.

you do you! usually more people are inclined to review when things are negative than positive which skews things. that said, somebody that works/owns the spot is real salty about the feedback

Monk’s BBQ in Purcellville.

I believe they closed. Was sad to hear it because of all the positive reviews on Reddit!

It is a violation if the homeowner decides to accept her offer over another person's based on any of the protected classes.

My sister specifically might not be in violation, but it is morally wrong.

Just because it isn't specifically illegal doesn't mean that it isn't still wrong.

Also lived in NYC. I didn’t like all the honking 0.00001 seconds when the light turned green, but at least enough people understood the rules of the road.

Richmond is just filled with a bunch of really inconsiderate drivers (and Virginia in general).

Henrico police are more strict and it just seems like police that surround VCU campus are just…not there.

First time I moved to RVA in 2013 I saw someone get hit off their bike so hard [GRAPHIC STATEMENT AHEAD] that their torso was twisted 180 degrees (their butt was facing the same way their face was).

Gruesome and the first time I had ever seen anything like that.

Yes but it's not for sale yet...smoke signals

I used to make rolls for Redemption. Quality food, great conversations. John is passionate about life and it shows.

Staying in Short Pump when you visit Richmond is like staying in Arundel Mills when you visit Baltimore. Both are manufactured outposts resulting from suburban sprawl. Neither have an ounce of character and largely consist of chains and big box stores.

try driving slower

Of course it is, that's why all the state senators live over there and everyone talks shit about rich kids in the West End. You can be jealous, but you can't say it's not an upscale place.
