Short Pump has enough critical mass that if the mall were to close the neighborhood would survive just fine. It would likely just be replaced by some sort of huge residential development (or more likely mixed use project like West Broad village).

The mall certainly played a huge role in the development of that area but people move there because they see it as a desirable place to live and way of life and not necessarily its proximity to the mall.

Robin inn must have lost some inventory on the way

Honestly happens all the time here. I’ve learned which streets to not take to avoid this stuff. My commute is honestly probably just a couple minutes longer BUT it’s consistent so I can plan my schedule. Some other roads are quicker but the frequency this happens has made me find an alternative route which is much more consistently clear. I suggest doing the same.

Also from Roanoke!! The first time I went to the Short Pump mall after only ever going to Valley View, my mind was blown. I had to call my friend bc I got lost. Couldn’t believe how big it was. Part of me still can’t lol

Not a single word. And it will be a car wash too. Across the street from Tommy’s. Between two tacky ass vape stores. NIMBY’s act like this is some nice ass neighborhood, but it’s not. It’s just a normal, American, shit ass thoroughfare.

Yeah I’m all the way from Roanoke and people would drive to Short Pump to shop for prom dresses. It’s a better mall than most of VA has access to.

I clearly stated what else they should do: turn onto the next two-way street and make the delivery.

It’s not a big deal. The NIMBY’s just think THEY are a big deal.

Nope

Have you ever even met an immigrant without a visa? Do you know most of these people work for less than minimum wage and avoid anything that would put them under the eye of the public in fear of deportation. You literally cannot get state/federal unemployment/welfare without a social security number. Please educate yourself before blaming the disenfranchised for capitalist failure.

If you drive a semi in the fan/city you get to do this. What else are they supposed to do? Hover?

This is really not the time to go on a pervasive anti-suburb woke adventure. Someone literally has been shot, leave this talk for another time.

>Good, he wanted the fucking NATIONAL GUARD to take away guns from law-abiding citizens, we do not need tyrants like him

Lemme guess, he was in favor of defunding the police, outlawing all guns, and forcing all women to have abortions, right? Yeah, no.

It's easy to make false claims about people. What you're referring to (and misquoting/misrepresenting) was him saying that the National Guard may need to be called in to help enforce constitutional laws involving guns in areas where law enforcement refuses to enforce those laws. In other words, taking guns away from law-breaking citizens, not law-abiding ones.

So your claim is completely false. Check your facts before making such wildly false claims and show some freaking respect. How would you like it if your orange savior died and everyone responded by saying that they're glad because he liked to grab women by their crotch? Even though it'd be a valid/true claim, it'd still be disrespectful. So show some respect dude.

Just your friendly greeter to say hello and check the receipts.

I seem to be recovering but with a cough that flares up with even the slightest exertion. I really hope it doesn't linger for weeks as I'd like to life weights again

We will take it at Semmes and Cowardin

Way to dash in that fun fact.

In your next life I want you reincarnated as a delivery driver, with a big truck in a big old city. As a current city resident, you must realize everthing you touch was delivered by trucks.

It's sometime hit or miss what they have, and occasionally they do estate sales, but the bulk of what they've done for the past decade has been restaurant stuff.

It's in a well off area with stores that appeal to them. Location is everything especially when it comes to malls.

This post is jamaican me hungry

Read the article and let us know.

I don't believe I ever had the honor of meeting him, though I had met his wife a few times. I used to work at Pizza the Hut on Wilkinson Rd and she would come in from time to time to get a pizza. Maybe he came in once in awhile, I don't recall. I remember her though because of her coming in regularly. Very respectful woman and anytime I've seen either of their names on a ballot, I would vote for them. If I ever come across her again (in person), I definitely plan to let her know how her respectfulness stood out to me and led to me holding both of them in high regards. When it comes to people that died too soon, he's definitely on that list. I wish he could have lived a much longer life, he deserved to continue doing what he apparently loved to do.

Have you checked out Minglewood and Idle Hands bakeries yet?
