I work in Richmond, spend a lot of time in Richmond, and drive and PARK in Richmond. It affects me just as much as it does anyone else who drives and parks in Richmond. That being said, I sort of agree with all of the sentiments in this thread.

All that to say, where I live is just MINUTES walking distance from the Richmond City line, so jokes on you, it actually very much so is LITERALLY about my surroundings. Also wouldn't call parking in a city a part of culture...

There's a cop who regularly parks their cruiser in the loading zone in front of Cleveland Laundromat. It's infuriating, every time I (disabled) have to park around the block to unload my laundry because this entitled prick is literally above the law I want to file a complaint but like... who are you gonna call, the police?

This is an extremely strange and aggressive post. Call the company and report the worker if you feel the need, but this doesn’t require some weird community-wide call to action.

ETA you are absolutely being petty.

Absolutely agree with you laws apply to all of us, equally. Police, parking enforcement, doesn't matter. No parking ever means no parking ever. Maybe if there were a legit emergency, but no you're being petty.

I recall a past r/rva post about someone/something calling Richmond the New York City of the East Coast and hot damn through the powers of super useless observation I will now tell myself it actually has a certain sense... because it's the only remaining East Coast city standing by water with twin towers and Minoru Yamasaki WTC architecture.

(*note I've not chosen to fact check this, that would make too much sense).

I wonder if this had anything to do with their poorly done Valentine’s Day (lack of) donuts. Tuesday my partner went to pick up an order he placed weeks earlier as a treat and there was a single woman working when he arrived and she was freaking out over grub hub and uber orders because they had NO donuts made and she was attempting to fill those incoming orders over the one we had placed in advance. Maybe they took their name off to stop more orders going to them? Lame. He wanted to surprise me since we had them as VCU students but they’ve fallen so far it’s so sad.

As others have said, it’s called a “ghost kitchen”. My partner worked at TGIFs at one point and they had a sushi ghost kitchen inside of it with a completely different name and graphic design

You could also say that Longoven now has a ghost kitchen because they opened Lost Letter within it but I also don’t quite consider that a ghost kitchen because they’re super up front about it and not trying to dupe anyone. Genuinely seems like two restaurants in one now.
