Reply to What infrastructure projects or development would you like to see in the area? by Lilratdog
I’d like to see the two halves of Jackson Ward that were created when 95 was built through the neighborhood reconnected and developed to include public green space and vibrant mixed income housing.
I’d also like to see public housing redeveloped in a way that centers residents’ needs and gives them the best opportunity to thrive.

Reply to King Cakes around RVA by nelsonma5
Arley Cakes had them last year (with an almond instead of a baby inside). It was my first time eating a king cake, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I loved it! I’m not sure if she is making them this year, but keep an eye out for them on her instagram if she does. Last year she started taking orders a couple weeks prior to Mardi Gras.

Exactly.
That said, if it's high enough in the winter, you may still want ventilation.

Obv Jasper as everyone has said. Another great place for visitors is the bar at the Jefferson.

Agree with Jasper, but if you’re looking for some food and drinks, definitely recommend Sabai. Great Thai food and fun tiki cocktails.

The website mentions programs are for active-duty military, dependents, retired military and civilians, but I don't know if that's for every MWR program or just a select few. That's why I'd call them first.

Recently watched Unorthodox and Normal People -- both were fantastic. Paul Mescal (Normal People) is a fantastic actor.
Also recently watched the Banshees of Inisherin -- fantastic film as long as you realize it's an allegory for the Irish Civil War. The acting is very good, but without the context the plot is strange.
Do not recommend Murders in the Building season 2. It just wasn't that enjoyable for me, and the end particularly seemed to drag.

Recently bought a house and got a radon test. The inspector told me that the numbers are always higher in the winter and if I really wanted a full picture I should test again in the summer because the number is likely much lower

We barter services. I pay for hulu, my spouse pays for disney, and then we have access to everything else by trading. I'm not interested in doing cable style bundles again, so if they crack down harder on password sharing I'm just sailing the seas instead

Was never into anime but my sister got me hooked on Attack on Titan and I got caught up in a month. Absolutely wild show, bonkers. It’s kinda cliche as the anime everyone recommends but that’s cause it’s so gaddamn good lmao

There is a new show called MILF Manor. Moms and their sons date each other. I can't believe this is an actual show....

It was so good. The Legend of Korra was not as good, but decent.

Thankfully they don't let the national parties inject money into the school board or city council.

The first episode of pachinko felt pretty sleepy -- does it pick up at all?

I'd assume the administrators are looking at "cost of keeping X school open/maintained" vs "cost to bus students to another school"

Same here except maybe I get too excited about pointing out game stuff. My spouse plays games but doesn't like long-form, story style rpg's so it's new to him.

Someone has been working on a cocktail bar called Red Lagoon on 2nd and Jackson, but looking from the outside progress seems to have stalled. Looks like they applied for their ABC license in Sept.
