Funny, I feel like the sky has no concept of what I’m feeling or thinking. 🤣. But seriously, great photo, I love this city.

Treason! Turn in your visitor badge, vacate the area, but please remember to turn on your headlights and use your wipers and signal lights!

The skyline... really? Richmond's skyline is the least cool part about Richmond, imo. There's only a couple of decently attractive buildings.

This is true, but I do wish it were going to be taller. Richmond needs a good 35-40-story tower...or 2 or 3. :)

I used to bartend at Poe’s. This was my favorite view on my walk home to church hill

Downvoted for saying thank you? Interesting

Back in 2020 when everyone has suddenly lost their income, I decided to donate to a food bank at a neighborhood church. This was a difficult decision for me because I don't support the church generally, but at the time, that is where all the hungry people were going to seek food aid (literal lines wrapped around the block!), and the church was better poised than anyone else to translate that money into real help for people in my neighborhood. My only regret is that the church did not qualify for a charitable gift match from my employer (only 501.3c non profits) which would have doubled the monetary value of my donation.
Said another way, I'm an atheist but I don't treat my atheism so religiously to get in the way of helping people.

In some cases, Feedmore distributes food from churches. I wouldn’t let that turn me off.

Providing a food bank is something churches SHOULD be doing.

Have you ever had to stand in line and get a meal from a church ? I promise they don’t try to convert you after you fill your desperate empty belly.

Feedmore? Fonticello food forest? All the fridges set up around town. Can't remember the group that runs that.

Central VA's skyline is boring as all hell. Just flat as far as the eye can see. The city's skyline is amazing by comparison.
