Oof, this whole thing where sandwiches without a side are pushing $15 has killed going out to eat for me. Please tell me this place pays really well and that'll be different.

I'll give em a call later!

Not personally. I know they've done both bathroom and kitchen renos. If they're not able to do it themself, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

When you charge people $15000 to replace a water heater you can do nice things like this.

Literally every founding father owned enslaved people.

And 400 years is a very long time. Your answer reflects very privileged, undereducated, and whitewashed exposure to Western History and its relation to the slave trade

I found Facebook decor groups that match my interests. I’m a maximalist at heart (after lying to myself for years that I’m a minimalist because I don’t like clutter) and I’m in a group called Moody Maximalism that kind of spans the spectrum of interpretations of “maximalism.” I get my decor ideas from the subset of posts there that speak to me. This time of year a lot of people are posting their Christmas decor setups.

I have also seen some good stuff on r/AmateurRoomPorn and r/femalelivingspace, and a lot of the content there is decidedly not-beige.

We've made the transit to Dulles so many times that Nova traffic doesn't faze us. I think the longest we've ever been delayed was an hour.

This is my shocked face: 🙄

Least murderous cop

And if there is that one good apple, it will be rotted before too long. ...

May be tempted into checking this out on Friday. Shame there's no outdoor space at all, that would strike it off my list of places to get a beer when the weather is nice.

Also, Ross Catrow's daily email pointed out something very valid... there will probably be a lot of people walking from Hardywood to this place and back given their proximity, but there isn't much in the way of pedestrian accessibility/safety between those locations which is a little concerning.

I checked their site and I didn't see anything about kitchen renovation. Looks like they're more exterior and window folks? Do you have any experience with them doing a kitchen reno?

Have one in my yard also - Tuckahoe is full of 'em

Don't these agencies do any kind of psychological exams? How do they vet their police officers?

Same, mostly. I have a small retro ceramic tree that I put up after Halloween. It’s nostalgic, brings me joy, and fits in a compact box in my closet. It’s really the only holiday decoration I have because I don’t like storing things I only use once a year.

Went to their soft opening employee event this past Sunday - a couple thoughts:

The interior decoration is lacking. Wooden tables, chairs, black metalwork ceiling and columns, and VIBRANT murals on many of the walls, but nothing tying it all together and a lot of the walls were still blank white spaces. Maybe over the next few days more murals will go up and tie the space together better, but it doesn't seem like a cohesive experience as of now.

The mini-golf was not designed well. Course has "jumps" and ramps for balls that send them careening onto other holes or into pathways. 18 holes - but it's two 9 hole courses (both labeled 1-9). Some of the "tricks" involve putting the ball into an enclosed container - and it's supposed to come out a ramp on the other side but instead they seem to be getting stuck inside where you can't get to the ball. It looks really fun, and has some great photo opportunity spots, but is extremely frustrating to actually play.

Signature mixed drinks are pre-mixed out of a tap - which cuts down on time for a drink and the ones I tried were pretty good! They have a beer tap wall like Circuit, with some local breweries, but not a huge selection.

The restaurants are differently themed enough to offer something for everyone, but between the $10-14 mixed drinks, paying $12-14 for a burger or sandwich - without a side (sides were $4 extra) it all seems a little expensive. Food we had was delicious though.

One massive bar, two smaller side bars, but the venue doesn't seem to support having a bar that big. From the smaller crowd there - duckpin bowling was full, mini golf and virtual golf were full, 15-30 min wait for food at restaurants inside, but all the bars were practically empty. There was a DJ booth as well (empty) - so maybe the bars would be busier for their "night club", but I don't see a reason or need for the size of bar they put in there other than to brag about having the "longest bar in VA".

Overall it's a fantastic community space for groups looking to go out for an afternoon or evening, but between the location and lack of nearby activities and restaurants I'm not sure if it'll last.

They REALLY are dancing around calling the guy a COP! 😂

Yellow.

I didn’t get around to taking the Christmas lights and garland off of the banister last year. At 1st I was a little ashamed. And then I realized it’s kinda nice to be able to plug those lights in for some nice ambiance throughout the year.

Im in the same boat 🥲

Check out Mo!

Aside from running a company that makes its money doing overpriced hack work (a known fact in the Richmond area), he is personally a dick. My neighbors got charged $5k to dig a 3’x2’ hole, patch a pipe, and recover. They made a huge mess that they never cleaned up and left that open hole halfway on my property for weeks so I wrote an email to their service manager. He must’ve bcc’d Basim, who couldn’t resist chiming in on the thread to ridicule me for asking them to clean their shit up. Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re an asshole than to open your mouth and let it be known, I’ve heard.

My cats make it impossible. Can't have a tree, nothing that dangles, etc.

The charitable answer would be that he was both a former state trooper and currently had some role within the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

thank you!
