Nah it’s just another way the smalltown RVA tribe tries to pretend that Richmond is a unique gem in the solar system and that the stars orient toward the 804

Have you seen the school budget and expenses do you know that they can't actually afford supplies.

Exactly, Binford and Cary were Richmond school superintendents, and did a lot of good for schools in Richmond. People are complex, and can do good and bad things in their lives. I’m really sick of this current puritanical black and white thinking about complex situations.

My sympathy about your cat. My elderly cat just came into my room and promptly threw up.

In honor of everything and everyone growing to resemble scenes and characters from the movie Idiocracy, it'd be kinda neat to rename everything after wrestlers. Sgt Slaughter Elementary. Rick Flair Botanical Gardens. Superfly Snooka Street. At the entrance to the city we can install signs that read "Welcome to Richmond, I Love You.". And instead of "Richmond Real" we should adopt, "go away baitin'."

He agrees with it- he just thinks it should be two a year…
“Superintendent Jason Kamras initially urged the board not to take on more than two schools in any given year because of the time, energy and cost involved, but eventually said he could be persuaded to change three.”

The superintendent who knows something about running schools clearly thinks it's not a great idea...

Oh that's inevitable. Just please god don't let the city hire some firm to call it Museum District Marketplace or some other $1,000,000 yawn.

Good to hear. Last year they only allowed guests and reservation-holders to come in and closed it off to all others, so hoping they’re opening back up. It’s my wife’s favorite Christmas activity!

Read their FAQs and there's a mandatory gratuity from 26%-28% via Venmo. Sounds like a scam. Why don't they just raise their prices?

Also, these schools weren’t named because they fought in the Confederate army. They’re named because of what they did in Richmond and for the Richmond school system. Disagree with spending money on this.

Large factions of society and the world didn’t agree with it- hence the civil war, the abolitionist movement, the fact that even England stopped participating in the slave trade system years before the USA. It’s a myth that people didn’t know slavery wasn’t a fucked practice. People chose profits over humanity and we don’t have to celebrate that or uphold it.

I was just coming here to inquire why it's so surprising. It's free, doesn't stop every 50 feet, has priority at intersections, and travels along the main artery of the "city proper". I guess it's surprising in the sense Richmond did something right, and in some ways Broad St is a bit embarrassing now with the lengths we went to preserve parking, but the latter wouldn't really affect ridership and it's a fundamentally very sound idea.

I am aggravated because I thought weed was legal in VA and apparently you still can’t just go in and buy it anywhere? After all this time? I just wanted a fucking edible and I don’t actually live IN Richmond so I am too far for any delivery I think :(

who tf said slavery wasn't horrible? all i said was in 1860 it wasn't widely considered inhumane. the people who lived 150+ years ago don't have our modern moral compass to guide them.

You can buy D9 edibles pretty much everywhere. Stick to good brands like Hometown Hero, Enjoy Hemp, 3chi, or Hemp Doctor. It's legal, has THC and will get you high
