The wawa in Wilmington Delaware right before the bridge looks like a scene out of The Walking Dead after 9pm.

they could cut cost of development in the city and it would be an effective massive subsidy. City costs a LOT more money to build in

It's a quibble, but I'd put the start of that shift in 2016. It started before the pandemic. It just really snowballed in the pandemic

Reply to comment by ImmobilizedbyCheese in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica
VCU needs to buy out altria or stop partnering with them. Absolutely ridiculous that they give up street parking for their semis and they bring in cops to direct traffic. Im sorry but your little hairspray play visit does not need to impact hundreds of peoople just trying to get around. I mean seriously, I had a late night class last year and they tried to charge me $10 to park in a garage that i PAID FOR A PASS to enter. Students are very clearly not VCU's priority.

Same here. I went from getting clawed in the face every morning by a large, hungry cat to now watching him sit patiently by his feeder about an hour before it's supposed to go off. Life changing. Now both cats have the same feeder and they just go to their spots.

My understanding is one of the chefs bought the restaurant. I'm not sure what it means for the other employees or service but the menu seems similar.

It wouldn’t be satire if there wasn’t an element of truth to it. That’s literally what satire is lol.

As others have said, back to capitalism and mental torture. At least I have the super bowl to look forward to... go birds

Time for responsible people to conceal and defend themselves. Be responsible for yourself and the people you love. Please always have a sober person out with you. It’s ok not to get intoxicated on weekends. Most street robberies in my neighborhood happen to intoxicated people. Please get off your phone when you’re walking alone late at night. Please take off your headphones when you’re alone. Be aware of your surroundings! It’s only getting worse and always assume the worst in strangers you see on the road. Be aware and stand up for your brothers and sisters if you witness anything. Peace be upon all of you 🙏🏻

i got mine done in 2019 there, its the dumbest thing. The interview took 10-15 minutes. All the interview was for me was taking the picture honestly. Best advice i can give is just keep looking, eventually you will find an appointment, took me like 2 months of checking it to finally find one

I was able to get my global entry interview at the Richmond enrollment center (aka building outside the airport) back in September. I called the office on one of the few days they were open, and the agent that I spoke with told me when the online appointments were going to show availability for the following month. The agent gave me a date and time (7 am I think on a random Tuesday) and I was sitting at my computer refreshing the screen like crazy. Good luck!

My family and I are good at Texas Roadhouse for a little less then that. I ordered a big steak, GF ordered chicken,and mom and sister also had steaks.
Between that or some this I'd pick Texas Roadhouse every time

Here’s a little Econ for you. A good or item is cheaper when you don’t have to pay the costs of overhead for transnational shipping and storage. When it can roll right from the abattoir to wholesale packing to the small bulk buyers like Texas BBQ purveyors, yes, it definitely is cheaper. Know how I can tell you’ve never been to Texas?

I think it's changed. Everyone I know in the city is from somewhere else at this point, even if it's somewhere else in Virginia. I only know a few people who grew up here, and I think only 1 who grew up in the city
