Old City Hall, designed by Detroit architect Elijah Myers and construction overseen by Wilfred Cutshaw. https://richmondmagazine.com/news/a-singular-expression-01-11-2010/

The building avoided destruction on a couple of notable occasions.

I have a younger brother who would throw absolute fits if he died or something in a game. I spent a summer with him between college semesters and he noticed that I lose it with laughter each time I'm really trying in a game and fail (laughter intensity tending to be proportional to how hard I'm trying). I noticed that it started to rub off on him, so I made greater efforts to point out how hilarious I found whatever was happening. I think he still has trouble, but for the most part he snaps out of it if he is reminded. Not sure if that is possible with whatever ages you are dealing with, but good luck!

I agree, just try getting through to any of them. If they hire through Richmond City, it may say hiring, but there literally is no human resources department. They may have left one or two people if I recall.

The real problem is money and job stress. Obviously anyone who wanted that job figured out how bad it sucked and wasn't worth it, otherwise it would be in demand. I would totally consider doing it if it wasn't so tied to police, and it paid well. It's a great way to serve the community, but the community has to take care of its people. Living wages keep people where they are qualified to be, in jobs they are good at and may minimally enjoy or find fulfillment in.

The best thing to petition for, if you get an audience, is higher wages, and not by a little bit.
