The more individuals and private groups do the less we have to rely on taxes and government to do for us. It’s a win-win.

Reply to comment by MiloAshworthy in What infrastructure projects or development would you like to see in the area? by Lilratdog
Unlikely since all the major NE cities have subways and are at similar elevations/even closer to sea level.
The ultimate reason is subways are ridiculously expensive and we just don't have the population/density to warrant it.

Reply to comment by lunar_unit in Anyone know whats going on with the Trapezium in Church Hill? by Zpunks100
That's right. Pilot / Satellite taprooms have to brew at least 20% of what they serve on site as I understand it. The rest can come from their other taprooms. I recall seeing a post a while back of them moving for foeders into the space so I expect that will be their 20%. That's pretty much how they operate Camp Trapezium in Amherst County. They do some barrel aging there but majority of the stuff they sell comes from Petersburg.

Reply to RVA Cocktail Bar Reco? by pocketdare
Longoven has great cocktails too - though if you’re eating there be ready to drop some coin. Worth it when I went, but that’s a somewhat controversial opinion in this sub.

Spot on since some key people who made Saison’s cocktail program what it was went on to run the program at Brenner. Most of the bar staff at Brenner trained under them, and you can still get a few of the old Saison cocktails if you ask nicely (and if they have the ingredients handy).

I very genuinely think the best thing to do would be to design roads in a way that it would get intentionally bad drivers into one car accidents that affect no other person.

Reply to comment by seize-theday in Is there better BBQ than ZZQ anywhere between Richmond and Maryland? by IMicrowaveSteak
Definitely! Underrated given the concentration of barbecue joints in Richmond City. Very good sides, as well.

Ohohoh! Put pedestrian crossing signs in the middle of busy intersections! Should definitely try that.

/s indicates sarcasm, since tone is sometimes difficult to read. If you'd ended with /s, you probably wouldn't have gotten downvoted like this (assuming it happened because people took you seriously)

Reply to VCU student death highlights worsening pedestrian fatalities trend in Richmond. How can the city fix it? by CrassostreaVirginica
As a former VCU student, ive crossed that spot countless times both while driving and walking to class. I can most definitely say that there have been times where cars were going way too fast in that area. I can also say, because I was guilty of it, that students are not always careful when crossing streets. When I was a student I was often distracted when crossing streets, more focused on trying to get from the engineering building to my next class across campus in a measly 10 minutes. However, if cars would just slow down, it would alleviate so many problems
