I’m so tired of this happening. When is America going to wake up and outlaw Walmarts.

You can definitely change your commute, they cannot change their delivery. Hopefully one day you’ll realize that EVERYTHING is delivered by trucks.

I would add that short pump town center has many stores with only location in the area.

Fr barely even feels optimal for full size trucks/ large sedans, that's why certain areas of Richmond I don't make it to, unless someone else is driving. For instance I really like vcu- downtown, but it can be a bitch to park since you're forced to parallel park most of the time, unless you're into paying for Parking

They are absolutely awful.

The wings are tiny , dry and reheated in the microwave. And when it's warmer out they have DJs on Thursday and Friday on their "patio" who point the speakers at the apartments next door and play music so loud you can hear it 3 blocks away.

GC code? I don’t recognize the stripes on the wall.

The Amazon drivers do this all the time. Granted it's just for a few minutes, but pull into the driveway!

I hope the former mayor of Roanoke reads this.

Richmond is an old city with narrow streets, It's really not built for big trucks. They do what they can to get their jobs done. Sure it can be annoying but it is what it is. Businesses can't function if they don't get deliveries and all those businesses are what makes city life enjoyable. Just gotta roll with it sometimes.

Dann supply chain issues

What are people “pushed to?”

I live not far from the proposed spot, I personally love the idea of a Sheetz, I frequent the area already for food from McD’s and Go Bird, and occasionally gas from 7/11, Sheetz would give folks a decent alternative option for food and gas.

I really am having a hard time seeing the issue here. Seems like a home run, they’re not booting anyone out for the shopping center, it’ll increase traffic for those businesses, and it’ll get rid of one of the many empty buildings on Forest Hill. When are we going to get out of the mindset of “preserving” an area? When all these businesses leave and create more empty buildings because nobody wants them to grow?

Bring on the Sheetz!

Mr. Harvey? Who is opening his own jazz cafe?

have heard such crazy terrible things about these people

yeah i am worried after the one being hit and this one that there may be more. gonna investigate more tomorrow and call around as well and see if rescues have any traps to loan out. it’s about my bedtime for the evening, and i’m hoping it was a small litter and maybe those are the only two (only because it’s so hard to find homes for them sometimes) i am hoping since it isn’t peak kitten season i may have more luck than i have had in the past when i found kittens

if that redditor would be interested i would love for homie to find a home that would want him/her.

Avoid Cary town and the fan in the morning for this reason

It’s a very safe area, the crime rate is a fraction of what it is in the City of Richmond. This might surprise you but immigrants tend to drive down the crime rate, and this area is very immigrant heavy, people who work way too hard to get up to bullshit.

Damn I went to this Walmart at 10, they had that corner of the parking lot cordoned off. Had no idea, terrible to hear this. I live half a mile west of here and it is a very quiet, just immigrant families from every country on the planet grinding hard, everyone working two jobs plus a side hustle. People need to think before putting bullets into the air.

u/Quardener wanted a cat and was doing research about humane ways to adopt. See if they will take it to the vet and keep it. Also I would be on the lookout for more kittens- I got my cat after she hid some kittens around my porch. Maybe there are more nearby and this one wandered off.

i tried to post a post but i think maybe the spam filter caught it. i found a furball (kitten) under my house after hearing it meowing under the floorboards. i really truly wish i could keep it but i have two cats and a dog and it wouldn’t be responsible or kind of me because i struggle to keep up with routine vet stuff for the other three with all the other bills i have.

i sent a few emails and will send more in the morning but if y’all know any rescues looking for kittens or by some miracle someone who wants a kitten for Christmas (NOT a spur of the moment one though like a planned Christmas kitty, do not want bb gifted to someone unsuspecting and unprepared only to get shuffled around) i could really use some help being pointed somewhere. i know sometimes they are full and refuse to take cats because there are so many.

i know my kiddo’s heart is going to break because she thinks it’s the cutest thing ever but i just truly cannot keep it. i am willing to foster it for a couple weeks while it gets more used to people if needed, but homie can’t stay permanently.

not sure if boy or girl because once i lured it with a little wet food and YouTube mama cat meows and got it inside it instantly bolted under my bed. letting it get adjusted before i try messing with it anymore.

a kitten was hit in front of my house very recently and i know the longer they stay outside and become more feral the smaller the chances of them ever getting a home is so i knew i needed to let it in at least for now

any help with where i can help this fuzzball go would be appreciated ❤️

southpark (colonial heights) is kept alive by fort lee. chesterfield town center and short pump seem to be rarities as far as modern malls and are really healthy. i have no idea about stony point because i only went once and remember seeing tiffany's and some other stuff and laughed at the fact that i thought i'd be able to afford anything and left. never went back.

it's been a while since i went but as a mall loving person my memory of stoney point was "nothing i can afford" and i left. and i love to window shop, but i remember maybe there being a candy store? and i literally couldn't even buy a few tshirts somewhere else or grab a bite to eat.

WHAT HOW DID I NOT KNOW TIHS

edit ugh it's the 90s in me but i hate malls dying. i am so nostalgic for them and love them for some reason. in fact when i travel i get excited to see a new mall. if i had enough money, i'd keep them all in business. i try to go a handful of times a year at least but i know that's not nearly enough. :( but all the memories of walking in them as a teenager and my very own kid asking to go to the movies and walk around for a bit with spending money... i just hate to see them go.

They probably put it there on purpose because it’s right near Babe’s 🙄

Right! That is actually super tacky and people should be protesting that. I don’t get it!
