There can be only one

Turns out that one is Short pump

M and F jamaica is the best in town on semmes. Would know I’ve had them all

Just another shooting in general.

I thought that was a temporary thing during covid?

No you cannot but if you own a business you can get qualified

Waffle House isn't 24 hours any more? Which one?

Indubitably

Are you saying another Walmart shooting in general or at that specific one? The last parking lot shooting was at the Chattanooga Plaza one.

My stepfather saw the shooting happen. A young male got shot twice in the chest and bled out in the parking lot. The shooter hopped into a car with a few other people and sped away.

Yeah based on the pictures this was in a semi-secluded corner, not the store itself.

Pedantic trivia: Walmart officially dropped the hyphen and extra capital letter in 2008—14 years ago.

Short Pump is not an apples to apples comparison for the malls that are dying. First, It’s well located for the (growing) demographic that tends to frequent and spend money in such places. Second, It’s in great condition, and has good tenants relative to other malls in the area. This is more a symptom rather than a driver of success though. Third, It’s not as heavily department store focused as a traditional mall is, which are falling out of favor with consumers. One of its department store tenants even closed (Nordstrom). That certainly hurts as the owners now have lots of vacant space not making any money, but the mall has other draws, bringing up the fourth point: It has lots of mixed use (especially restaurants and hotels) so you can spend extended time there, or come if your primary reason isn’t shopping.

All of those make it a metro area-wide draw as well as a regional draw. I know people from VA Beach that come up for annual back to school shopping.

A “certain” type of mall is dying. Short Pump isnt that - it’s the evolution of what the traditional mall used to be. The giveaway is in the name - town center. Compare it to Tysons in NOVA - there’s enough there to be a regional and metro-wide draw. Other malls in NOVA that are more traditional are closing or have already closed or are being converted to mixed use. Think the old Ballston Mall becoming the Ballston Quarter.

Stony Point is kind of an exception and a unique case - I would hypothesize that even though it’s newer, RVA metro area isn’t big enough for two similar draws that compete for similar tenants. It’s also much harder to get to vs Short Pump, especially for the demographic it’s designed for who primarily live north of the river.

Absolutely do not use Michael Harvey, unethical shady fucker.

Well, that, that looks uncanny to Richmond upon The Thames, my good sir

I was on their facebook yesterday and lots of those tiny faces spoke to me! definitely going to keep an eye out. Thank you :)

Suburbs are a dangerous place. Empty parking lots, half occupied malls. Lots of seedy activity.

I’m assuming it’s being downvoted because it’s negative and unhelpful, as opposed to pro-trump misunderstandings

Haha I have to get a girl cause my current cat doesn’t like other men in his life. I hope you find a sweet home for him!

You missed the giant BRAZZERS sticker across the bottom of the windshield

That 7-11 sucks for gas and I don't ever buy anything there. I'd definitely prefer a Sheetz. Wawa is past where I typically go on Forest Hill (except if I'm out to Trader Joes) and when i have gone there, it's backed up. I waited 30 minutes for air there once. We could use the tax revenue. In so tired of all the same people complaining about changes to the Forest Hill corridor. Except the casino, they were right about that crappy proposal.

What I miss is the old Martin's gas pumps and my fuel perks.

Im glad your pup is okay :) Im sad that Im not the only person this has happened too.

I got my girl from Hanover Humane society. I had a great experience with them!

thank you for letting me know. similar situation with my cat, when I called the spca they did not care at all. He had a bad case a Giardia a very spreadable parasite and Feline Herpes, on his first week home a worm literally came out of his nose like a Tim Burton Film. You would think they would want to make sure all the other cats in their care didn’t also suffer from his illnesses.

My first week as a pet owner was spent stuffing pills down my cats throat which wasn’t great for building trust. I cried and cried thinking my cat was going to die before I even got to love him. 100s of dollars in vet bills and almost two years later he looks like a completely different cat then the skinny dude I picked up at the SPCA. He should have been cared for better.

Lots of deals go down in that parking lot. Sad what people are pushed to.
