New York Deli is still there but not what you remember. It was an actual NY style Jewish delicatessen then and very 70’s looking. It was bought, badly renovated/painted but in the same space. I think it was recently re renovated and hopefully better. You can see remnants and I’m told the roof patio is great.

It’s one of the oldest restaurants in town with the same name and the same space. There aren’t a ton left. Robin Inn and helen’s both are old too.

Joe’s inn has been around for that time! Looks the exact same. As was Millie’s but it’s only open for brunch now.

Much of Carytown looks/feels similar similarly. Cary court has been Cary court the whole time. It’s the oldest court in the country I believe.

Maymont and Byrd park (paddle boats) should feel familiar to you.

Many beautiful old schools remain the same. Notable mention to fox elementary.

Cappola’s is also the same! That’s the sand which shop. Same block as NY Deli.

Much of the river entrances have remained pretty much the the same. Pumphouse is often nostalgic for many esp being next to nickel bridge.

Walking through Oregon Hill still looks like Oregon Hill but with lost students. They’ve done a great job of keeping VCU encroachment out but we will see how long it lasts.

6th street should have never been built but uiy can go by and see the sign all covered in graffiti which is interesting. It’s just wasted space.

We need to get rid of the colonizers! Get those police Pigs out of our city! Down with the Fascists! Ow wait the criminals are getting bold! Running amok on atvs in my city! I do not feel safe! Maybe the city government will help ensure our safety? Perhaps we should limit sales of single cigarettes (Lucy’s) and malt liquor, lotto tickets? Perhaps a council should meet to discuss this problem? Surely they will protect us and utopia awaits.

Puritan Cleaners does laundry. It's 3 dollars a pound. But I'd call and see if they have a sliding scale or anything to help in the financial situation.

Yeah that’s the challenging part as he lives alone and doesn’t have any caregiver support (yet). Ideally he could just call a service. I’m going to call around places today for pricing.

❤️ - one of my favorite sounds in the entire world. When I was little, I used to sit on my grandparent’s back porch in the rain because I loved the sound of it plinking their tin roof.

Zeppelin - Rain Song for sure

Was just listening to The Punch Brothers cover of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald though, and I have to say that fits the bill pretty well too.

Anything after the 15th is going to be holiday music, I try not to listen to it too much before then so I don't get sick of it before Christmas.
