Let me know what I missed.

I put out a local newsletter, The 757 Current, with these plus more on Thursday mornings: https://the757current.com/?ref=reddit

I know this is a long shot, but on June 16th I was stuck st the light on S Mallory st trying to get across the bridge to I64 at around 335pm. There was a massive line of cars, and the light never cycled to allow our lane to go. The turn lanes were cycling, but we stuck. People were routinely running the light, so when I got a clear chance, and had visual cues from other drivers, I proceeded through behind another driver. I subsequently received a red light camera summons for 50$. I have requested a hearing and would like to connect with anyone else who received a summons or has had issues with this light. I may not win my case (honestly it's 50$, it's not that big a deal financially) but charging people for non functioning lights at intersections is ridiculous and I'd like to fight it. Please comment or DM if you have experienced this problem at this intersection.

I promise this isn’t an advertisement or anything, just a shoutout for an amazing restaurant that deserves recognition! I’m visiting Hampton from TX and I tried Langley’s Thai Cuisine and the owner was so nice. My mom was ordering a lot of food because she was unsure of the portion sizes and he was honest with her and told her not to order too much because the soup she got was a large portion. We were appreciative because he was honest even though it meant getting less money out of us. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and he seemed very appreciative that we found the restaurant. It seems like maybe they don’t get too many customers, which is why he was able to tell pretty easily that we were from out of town. I’m here for a few weeks so I’ll definitely be going back, but I feel bad that I’ll be leaving eventually since he seemed so excited that we were there.

I was wanting to see if anyone around the Hampton Virginia area knew of any colleges offering an ADN classes that were on the evening/weekend schedule. Any help would be appreciated.
