I always see a bunch of the homies poking their heads out of the water at Fountain lake. I even watched one walk across the grass into the water

It is. The wife and I are planning to make our way out there in early summer.

My distain for NC is most concentrated to the "suburban hellscape of Raleigh/Durham".

I wasn't trying to start beef, but I will not apologize for saying that Virginia is better than North Carolina. It is.

I only care because of the actual children involved in the making of it. If someone has deep fake child porn, or whatever I don't care how much they have or how often they look at it.

Honestly 9 years when there's no evidence that the person has ever had any inappropriate contact with a minor is ridiculous.

Pocahontas State Park, kayaking. Tons and tons of turtles in a protected habitat.

It a thin line. Hopefully they had professionals (engineers, accountants, etc...) deciding the cost to rebuild or renovate. My school is getting town down and not a rebuild because it makes more $$$sense, although it's an ugly campus style from the 1960s that won't work in today's climate.

I'm just worried that the rebuild won't fix the underlying issues of having a very old and neglected school.

I tried to find a clip of the scene in Independence Day in response to this -- the last line being the relevant bit -- but failed. Text will have to do.

Thank you. All this time I really did not know that is what the motto stood for. They probably emphasized this when the motto was created, but I just didn't pay attention.

At crump park, in the pond just in the woods (not the bigger one where ppl fish, at least not from my experience) on sunny days!

I like that its the eastern Virginia and not the Western one. Just kidding, West Virginians. I love visiting your state!

I think you're conflating the problems Richmond is having with policing and its public image overall with one specific policing event out of many that happened that same day—Except the two murders this article is referring to happened in a completely different week and time of day than the Happy Trees bust.

By saying "appropriate amount of resources," it sounds like you're thinking a majority of RPD's time that day and the days that led up to it were spent on this single bust, when in reality, the resources used likely totaled a small portion of one precinct's staffing.

It's the same type of argument people use on "why spend time and money on removing monuments than our schools?" when there are separate budgets and funds and teams for multiple things.

As shameful as RPD's public image has been these past few years, they are able to do multiple things at once because they have several precincts, units, and investigations going on at the same time.

I was curious on Fox as I had never looked them up to see who they were. From the school's website William Fox was the first superintendent of RPS and a staunch supporter of free public education for all children.

The school is historic for notable architecture and notable architect, [Charles Robinson](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_M.Robinson(architect)).

When I saw vendors selling shrooms, I knew it wouldn't last.

You two are so chill about agreeing to disagree on favorite area that I think y'all should meet on neutral ground in the Near West End fir a beer or a coffee. Maybe Libbie and Grove would be the ticket

They can come take mine, it's been at least six months since the cans were picked up and the VCU kids treat them like trash cans anyways

I disagree. If you have not been to the Smokie Mtns area you have not seen the best of NC. It is probably a pretty good distance from the beach area though.

Add in a general lack of snow (I'm in RVA) and this ticks all the boxes for me. My wife and I honeymooned in Williamsburg and have always talked about retiring in this region.

I prefer when people are not consuming CP featuring toddlers and infants. Wtf are you on about?

Are they getting them from Chesterfield? 🤪

People do remove signage for shits & giggles.

I know a lot people want Fox rebuilt but, Clark Springs is a functional school. It might be a bit small and out of the way but the building is in good shape currently and could be great with a bit more work. I don’t know if the cost of rebuilding Fox is worth it if the kids could get the same education with just few upgrade to Clark Springs.

I don't think it took a lot of resources given how open they were about it lol The raid itself, maybe but I don't think they needed a team of detectives working the case for months or anything. Stopping street murders though? That takes a lot of resources and ones RPD don't actually control. Lest anyone think I'm actually defending RPD, I actually view the general inability of police to prevent such crimes to be a good indicator that they need to do a lot of stuff differently. I'm just trying to be consistent in acknowledging that there's not too much they could have done to prevent said murder in the first place.
