>I would expect them to probably start out by just sending product up from Petersburg to have on tap and package.
Pretty sure that's the plan, because the site is too small for a full brewery (no room for mega tanks) But for a brewery to be a brewery, I think it's like 20% of product sold has to be manufactured there, so I think the plan is to do some barrel aged varieties, stored, aged and sold onsite .

The way the CSO (combined sewer overflow) system works now means that anytime it rains hard enough, raw sewage gets dumped into the James River. All of that shit being dumped into the river makes the bottom of the lower James covered in silt and fucks with the water quality for fish and plant life. When I first moved to the city I had no clue how the CSO system worked and took my paddle board out over by Shiplock Park. I was paddling along and a used tampon went floating past me and when I finally got out of the water I had to scrub down my board because it reeked.
If raw sewage stopped being dumped into the river recreation down in that area would boom. The fishing would be way better, boating would be better, and people would actually be willing to swim in the water down there. Imagine shiplock park, with its easy access to the river having clear and clean water on a sunny day in the summertime. There would be all kinds of people down there having a blast.

I like my area of it well enough, wanted Henrico originally but didn't have the scratch for the type of lot/home in the area of Henrico we wanted to live in.
This is the crime map for the County if you want to check out a particular neighborhood.

To name a few. Fix and finish sidewalks. Expand the transit system both in frequency and locations, and add seating, sidewalk, and shelter at stops (I saw a stop this weekend with about 1-2 ft breathing room between a guardrail and a multi lane road). A grocery store in our biggest food deserts. More affordable housing. More green spaces/preserve the ones we have especially in neighborhoods with very little of it. No more surface parking lots and start converting the ones we do have into parking decks/subterranean lots in order to accomplish more housing and green space.
On a lofty dream side, I would love to see trolleys and street cars make their way back to Richmond but that's so unlikely to happen.

I've been making my way back through one of my all-time favorite shows, "The West Wing." Brilliant writing, even more brilliant acting. Somewhat bittersweet - it's the White House we all deserve, but will likely never have...

In addition to responding to a Reddit thread, please actually take the time to share your feedback directly with the City via the Richmond Connects plan!
It’s literally the roadmap for multi-modal transportation & infrastructure projects for the next couple decades, and it’s in a workgroup/review stage now!

Oh no, I never watched Deadwood but I’ve heard tell of that disaster. At this point I have no choice but to have faith that Ben Stiller and writers will do Mark and crew justice haha

I would also be impressed considering my limited attention span lmao. If I get sucked in though I'd be willing to pay for another month!

My husband dragged me to this last weekend. I enjoyed it much more than I expected.

Reply to 'Dolly is part of the answer': Advocates spread Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library free-book program throughout Virginia by pot_of_hot_koolaid
Favorite part of this article is the note about many of these kids not knowing who Dolly Parton is other than the books. As a fan of her music, I have to say I love this the most. Really tugs the heartstrings.
The best thing you can do for children is introduce them to reading at an early age, and continue to support their development. I am eternally grateful that my parents made sure to introduce me to books at an early age, I don’t think I would be where I am at today without that.

If you can finish the Sopranos in a month, then I’d be very impressed! Definitely one of my all time favorites. Chernobyl is so good and so sad

Doesn't matter if the roads are 12 feet wide and painted hot pink, if you dont have cops or some other form of traffic enforcement actually calling drivers out and fining them then people will drive how they want.

It fits your needs for sure. I like it well enough. Lousy board of supervisors that fucks over citizens at every turn unfortunately

Succession is great. As for recent HBO shows, I also like White Lotus and Righteous Gemstones (which is I think is coming back sometime this year).

Have you seen Peaky Blinders? Boardwalk empire is like an American version of that. Both great shows!

The latter two shows are in my top three and I started watching Abbott. It’s hysterical and I agree with you. Funny enough my spouse’s first comment was, “This is The Office and P&R” when they sat down to watch it with me.

Really hoping for snow tomorrow but it’s looking less and less likely.
Currently working on Shrinking on AppleTV - I was a big HIMYM fan so I love Jason Segel.
Started The Menu (went into it blindly) and I’m not sure I enjoy it at all.
Just waiting for the newest season of Love Island UK to be passed over to Hulu!
