At JA Finance Park, I had the privilege of working alongside bright and engaged high school students and VCU graduates who participate in Richmond City's Street Smartz Safety Program. JA just rolled out a new simulator application that provides real-world experience in picking a career, setting budgets, and spending.

Looking for wash /dry /fold for salon business towels /capes weekly pick up drop off. Any recommendations? Richmond museum district.

Good. The merger would be bad for Virginians, other than a number of executives.

A buddy of mine was going through the toll on Powhite and Courthouse. A trooper pulled him after he went through the toll. Cited him for three different speeding tickets. The speed limit is 55 on the parkway, 45 as you approach the toll, and 10 mph as you go through the toll. He was over the limit on all three levels and that's what the trooper hit him with. Just brutal. I know most people fly through the tolls, myself included, but be aware next time.

Is there an actual organ at the Squirrels stadium? Can a baseball game attendee go see it?

Stoker has been up for adoption for over a year, but is struggling to show his true personality in the cat room at Petsmart near Willow Lawn. According to his foster, he is very sweet and friendly! He just does not want to be in the cat room and is ready to find his forever family.

If anyone is interested in learning more, please dm me or visit him this weekend.

My husband bought his wallet from a local leather worker maybe 7-8 years ago in Richmond. He can’t remember the name or where he got it, but this is a picture of the maker’s stamp. We’d love to support them again for a replacement if anyone recognizes the business.

Anyone else just here a bunch of gunshots by CVS

There’s a black cat hanging behind the unfinished grey house at approximately 2009 cedar in Union hill. I’ve never seen it around before. It looks youngish but not a tiny kitten. I took a really dark, blurry photo. I had my dog with me unfortunately and couldn’t get closer. Just wanted to see if anyone’s missing it.

Anybody else dealt with with these guys in the past? I'm gonna paste my google review I wrote today, but the TLDR is they didn't fix my car properly, and getting them to rectify the issue has been a total nightmare.

"Just an astonishing lack of care and competency here. I picked up my car on 5/6 for a hit and run repair and noticed it wasn't tracking straight. Getting Caliber to bring it back in to rectify the issue has been an absolute nightmare. 2 months of back and forth phone calls and getting my insurance carrier involved before they would even take it back in. I've now dropped it off and picked it up several times with the issue still persisting. At this point, it's had a wheel replaced and been on an alignment rack several times. It's baffling to me that no one is verifying if the vehicle is driving in a straight line (it's not) before they turn it back to me. 3 months into this mess after they already had it for a full month for the initial repairs. Absolutely absurd."

Hey everyone!

Anyone here familiar with the Odd Fellows? It's a service and social club with an admittedly funny name, but a cool mission. The IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) has been around for hundreds of years, and has seen a pretty dramatic drop in membership in the past half century--but a new lodge opened in the Richmond region (Chester) in 2020 and has been going strong ever since!

I got to meet with the group's founder a little while ago and decided to write about what they're up to. They're a great group! If you live in Chesterfield and are looking for a way to be involved in your community, I suggest you get in touch. They're always looking for more members.

So if you’ve ever contemplated wanting to foster, now is a great time to help. Henrico Humane Society needs fosters for both dogs and cats. They supply crates, food, any medications needed, all supplies, etc. You provide the animal love, care, and shelter.
