I keep my mass number as I remain proudly a yankee. Also no way am I going through that switching hassle

Sounds about right and it feels very Buzzfeed-y

Who’s disenfranchised by a public school name that quite literally zero of the student body really cares/thinks about

Is that the building right by the McDonalds and Exxon? Don’t know anything about the building itself but would not recommend that spot

What? Who said we should segregate schools again and it has not always been possible to Google stuff. And it wasn't that everyone was just ignorant and unaware of what Harry Byrd was, it was that they were disenfranchised felt they had no voice and couldn't do nothing about it. Now they know better. Stuff is not just relevant for your age group you know.

Our area code in Fredericksburg changed from 703 to 540 when I was a kid, right after I'd memorized my phone number. That would have been in the early 90s.

That article reads like a drunk frat bro cornered you at a party to tell you where to get the “sickest pours” in town.

I lived in Richmond city for over ten years without a car and it was great! The city is walkable, pulse busses are great and the city is relatively safe. I say go for it!

Look at the Hamilton Tour website. No tickets are on sale for performances later than February

I have been car free my entire time in RVA, which hasn’t been that long, but I’ve been dedicated to it. Most other car free people are northside it seems but I manage from Southside. The bus is generally good enough, never perfect, but it does enough.
Biking is generally good here on certain routes, but I’ve had a few encounters with drivers who are extremely hostile or have 0 clue what a bike is and how a bikes signals. Fortunately they’re few and far between, and avoiding busy roads makes it a lot easier.
Getting groceries is difficult, especially in my location, so I had to give up and just get all my groceries delivered.
The biggest issue is just that every once in a while I have to get somewhere with a car. Ubering has been fine mostly, but occasionally I just get screwed over by not having a car. It doesn’t happen enough to justify buying a car, however.
Getting out of the city is harder, the train to DC or tidewater is good, but that’s about as far as you can get.
But I encourage you to try! I know a lot of people in RVA that are one car households, low-car or completely car free. It’s a lifestyle all of us seem to like and it saves so. much. money.

To add to that good idea, some phones also accept eSIMs, so no second SIM slot or second physical SIM needed.

Avoid new Apts in Richmond. They are remarkably overpriced.
Check the fan and museum district for rentals. These are young walkable neighborhoods with a fair number of singles, and dig friendly

Snakehouse has taken money from several people and never did their shoots or responded to requests for refunds. My best friend had her money taken and tried really really hard to work with the photographer on things they could do that wasn't a refund- all messages went ignored and she got blocked/hidden from their posts on IG. After I spoke about it on Facebook I had a number of folks reach out to me to share their similar experiences.

They're no longer fixing up electric bikes unfortunately. I would recommend Outpost

If I have an 804 number, does that give me credit towards no longer being a Yankee carpet bagger?

Get a bicycle to get across town. I’ve found bike paths are far quicker than the slow ass bus.
PULSE (express GRTC) is great, but the regular bus lines are inexcusably slow.
