When I worked in Shockoe and used the deck by 14th Street, it was a regular occurrence to dodge a car looking left while turning right on red. A coworker was hit and hospitalized too. Of course this was nearly 20 years ago now, but I see nothing has changed.

Thanks, I've also wondered what audience the lot serves.

Check rtings.com. I just got my mom one of the top reviewed "budget" TVs by Hisense and it's fantastic.

Reply to comment by PetersburgMutualAid in Gloves off: State Sen. Joe Morrissey battles for Petersburg casino by CrassostreaVirginica
So, I went to the City Council meeting this month to give public comment on something they were voting on that night. The informal meeting ran over its time and there was a break of like twenty minutes before the start of the formal meeting, with councilors walking around chatting with people and getting food. I was sitting in the third row. Reva was chatting and said several times "We're gonna get that casino!" loud enough for others outside of the conversation to hear. I was like huh so this is democracy in action. After the referendum votes. She repeated some of the comments while taking photos with the people getting awards. So stupid.

I used to play in the league and would be down for casual tossing. Byrd Park or Bryan Park?

Reply to Casino tops Richmond wish list [to VA General Assembly], but affordable housing lies at the heart by CrassostreaVirginica
Wow, that headline is so inaccurate and annoying. I listen to City Council meetings, attend school board meetings, go to PTA meetings, attend my district's town halls, attend my civic association's meetings, subscribe to the newspaper (digital), follow the local broadcast news, talk to my neighbors and coworkers, and I can tell you that a casino has not been listed as a priority by anyone in the last year. We are asking the General Assembly for a lot but a casino isn't on the list.

They also thought $300k for a temporary roof to protect Fox during rebuilding would be wasteful spending, so they voted to provide the permanent roof... roughly 30 weeks from now. Let's hope we don't have more than $300k in additional damage due to a lack of roof.

Not 100% accurate. They aren't doing free curbside vacuuming like they did the past several years. That's what you can pay $30 for if you want to request it. Otherwise, they will take bagged leaves. They also did come through with leaf blowers and a vacuum truck prior to the street cleaning truck, so if you know it's coming you could use that to your benefit.

The house on the corner of Roseneath and Patterson/Kensington was using Halloween to give out pamphlets for that guy. I was with my three kids enjoying the night until stopping there. Who the hell does that?

Reply to Explosion near Monument and Hamilton? by TimmyToldYou
We heard it over near Albert Hill. It was a very still night, so maybe that contributed. I could hear the trains rumbling pretty clearly before the loud boom.

I went to London for NYE 2000 with some friends and a black cab driver asked us if we hung out on Grace. This is the exact scene he remembered from the one time he'd visited America.

What an indictment of the system. Complete joke. No, it's not sufficient. Why? Because he still took the weapon without permission and used it to kill someone.
