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'."

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!

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 :(
