All of these are usually worse in other parts of the country, natural disasters here are mid in both frequency and intensity

Yup, that’s exactly when I do it.

That’s the safest maneuver when Belvidere has greens in both directions. When Franklin has a green and the crosswalk is counting down, the logical and legal westbound bike move is to go straight through the intersection. But you 100% have to bike defensively and assume the cars don’t see you because turning cars rarely yield there.

Been recently. I'm not sure if I'd call it fussy or pretentious, but the prices did seem incongruent.

That'll show em lol

Hear me out..even if you’re not gluten free, try 521 biscuits and waffles. 100% gluten free for those that need it and for those that don’t it’s still incredible and so delicious

It’s horrible. I often cut across Franklin to get on the sidewalk on the south side of the street and cross Belvidere on that side. I know that’s not ideal for several reasons but the alternative sucks too.

same. lol

I Googled "trainspotting RVA" and didn't find much. (That's what the hobby is called.) Google also told me that freight trains don't necessarily run on schedules.

You may just have to keep your ears open for trains and keep track of busy days or times of day. Freight trains run more frequently just before the winter holidays, and a few months before the seasons change. Traffic should be picking up soon with summer clothing coming in.

I never wanted kids. It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. My daughter is now a junior at UVA and on the deans list. She makes me THE PROUDEST. Congrats dude♥️

Arlington. (Downvote me to hell, I know. I probably deserve it. But I’m a simp for A-town.)

I've had to wait as a pedestrian (with a bike, I was new in town and didn't understand why 200 cyclists were all biking together) and several people shouted out to me to join them. Kids, families, teens, grandparents, college peeps, all having fun and cycling.

I wasn't stupid enough to cut through them and thought it looked like good community fun. I literally can't imagine being bitter and angry about waiting like five minutes.

Jesus Christ you people need to live a little. Angry over waiting and people having safe but inconvenient fun. Truly ridiculous.

Did village go down hill recently? I graduated 2015 and village was always a relatively cheap place to get a descent meal.

That’s gonna be a no from me dog.

Nice. My dream is for some of the region's rail lines to get consolidated into multi use asphalt paths. Imagine the railroad bridge next to the Powhite Parkway bridge having an asphalt path with guard rails giving dedicated trail access from Southside to Scott's Addition/Northside.

Nobody asked but I have this little dark joke that if I go to Sheetz for gas after dark I feel like I'm going to get kidnapped. If I go to Wawa after dark for gas I feel like I'm going to get assaulted.

Wawa is goated for that gobbler and the coffee with the tasty crumbly ooey gooey cakes they cleverly sit near the coffee bar.

Tank day Wu tang Clan ain’t nothing to f with.

The Hot Italian is one of the best sandwiches in the city.

My dream would essentially turn Franklin/Monument into an East-West bike highway that runs from Willow Lawn to Main Street Station. Mixture of tunnels under bigger roads, and 2/3 of secondary streets that intersect it with modal filters and the remainder with bike-priority signal and intersection design.

My top 3 are Pedal Power, Outpost Richmond, and Coqui Cyclery.

Carytown bikes is excellent

Thought this was Mount Trashmore.
