I live right down the road and I am thrilled. I moved here last year and realized that people in this part of town just like to complain about everything.

• I think you misspelled “Beast”

So I believe that was Moses's second cart. He still has the main one on 10th and Clay. He had to close that one a while back because he didn't have proper support to run both efficiently.

I literally drove by the signs today and was asking my friend what was going on. Pissy ass boomers it seems like.

"welcome to Walmart. Get your shit and try not to get shot."

Really?

Regarding Stoney Point, it does seem to be dying. One of three anchors has been vacant for multiple years now and Saks has closed off its second floor. There have been a couple of owners who’ve given up on it. Stoney Points problem is that there was essentially no land to build out add’l retail unlike Short Pump. It is actually very easily accessible from the West End (Parham to Chippenham) - there just wasn’t and isn’t enough to draw people there unlike Short Pump (and with the traffic, is Short Pump really that more accessible?). Regency Mall, once the top mall and a regional destination before Short Pump arrived, had the same limitations as there was limited add’l space to build out more retail in the surrounding area (not as limited but still limited relative to Short Pump which was an area of wide open fields prior to ~2000).

Santa?

I work for a Sysco-like company and deal with accident and injury investigation. Many things could contribute to this issue: new driver, new route, new customer/restaurant, and just trying to do his job. I get that this is extremely annoying, but their routes start at 4am and they try to get it all done before the rest of us hit the road. They try to build better routes, build the pallets more efficiently, but it’s hard to do. Their supervisors are on them about unloading fast, staying on time, and minimizing risk/injury/accident. And unfortunately blocking the street is low on priority if they can do the above. Sorry bro. Give these guys some grace because they work really hard - lifting 5k pounds A DAY 5+ times a week, driving big trucks around a city, and dealing with upset customers.

Wait.. What now ? Living in a suburb is considered anti-woke ? Please tell me you're joking.

"The victim has not yet been identified but police did confirm that he was male."
How do they know? They were DOA.

I grew up in Houston but we’d drive up to MD every year to visit family. For some reason we picked Roanoke as an overnight stay every year and I used to beg my parents to take me to Valley View whenever we were there - I have no idea why but I was in love with that place, I guess maybe they had a store that wasn’t at the mall I went to in Houston but whatever it was, Roanoke became one of my favorite places as a kid

This is an update on WTVR regarding the next election potential dates
https://www.wtvr.com/news/virginia-politics/donald-mceachin-died-20-days-after-his-reelection-november-29-2022
"There are several steps that have to be followed before McEachin's seat can be filled.

​

First Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will have to announce the vacancy

Then Governor Glen Younkin will issue a writ of election. In other words, the governor will order a special election to fill the vacancy.

​

That special election generally takes place within 120 days of when the vacancy is announced. If the vacancy were announced today, the deadline to hold the election would be Wednesday, March 29, 2023. The deadline for candidates to file would be 60 days before that."

Yeah, lot along Quioccasin goes around the ‘left’ side of the store. If you’re facing it from Parham that is.

I’m not in retail, but I’ve seen the results for planning. Short Pump is doing the opposite of dying, and with the growth planned west of Staples Mill through 2027- it’s looking like a long tenure.

Saw them in Chester the other day and caught myself staring at it lol.

>There is far more than one shitty driver in RVA,

Oh I know that. I've seen plenty of them. In fact, you'll notice that some of them have already downvoted my comment.

​

>I have to be the one to break the news to you

You have to be the one? Sure it doesn't have to be someone else?

​

😉

There is far more than one shitty driver in RVA, I hate to be the one to break the news to you

edit: don't try to type profoundly philosophical reddit comments while you're falling asleep, kids

I’ve only been there like twice and it seemed like it lol. I could be wrong

I miss her

No one has ever accused Stony Point of being packed with people and stores.

Half the time they are closed when I pull up and the other half won't answer their phones. I have not been able to get waffle house past like 8ish for like 2 years

All the malls in the area seem to be booming. I’m from Savannah, GA and there are two indoor malls. One is god damn dead like no GameStop, no American Eagle, Hollister or similar store, and even the sbarros packed up and left. The other mall was starting to lose a lot of stores, but the Target and Bass Pro kept some people coming. Still nothing compared to what it was.

Then I move to Chester and see mall in Colonial Heights, Chesterfield, Short Pump, Stony Point all packed with stores and people. I have no idea what this area does to keep all of them busy.
