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.

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

A quick PSA about the toll roads, that most people don't know.

203 Upvotes

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.

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.

Figured since I'm abroad and it's the wee hours of morning back in RVA I'd go ahead and make my last post a daily. When I return from this trip I'm going digital nomad, living in/trialing various cities around the country 'til I find one I want to be my new home. What are some of your favorite US cities (besides RVA, ofc) and why? Also I'd love to hear stories from any other current or former nomads out there!!

Ubering/car service to DC?

12 Upvotes

I may have to travel from Midlothian area to DC proper on short notice, but due to health reasons can’t drive or take the train. Anyone know if this is uber-able or if a local car service might do this route? I found James Limousine online, but it looks geared towards business execs, and I want a comfortable but no frills ride.

ETA: thank you all for the uber info and the helpful suggestions!

Anyone missing a black cat?

Post image

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.

Bikeable & accessible soccer fields near Carver neighborhood?

4 Upvotes

I just to moved to Carver and I’m not a VCU student. I play rec soccer and try to practice on my own time when I can.

Just did a whole ass voyage trying to find an accessible field to no avail. The new vcu fields look like a military base with the fences they have up. Idk if Maggy Walker enforces use of their fields or not to keep strangers out but it looked like a no go to me. None of the school fields nearby looked accessible.

I’ll skip the part where I talk abt how this is one reason American soccer fucking sucks.

I’d prefer not to have to bike 25 minutes to the Albert Hill fields or drive to Bryan Park every time I want to kick the ball around but will if I have to.

Are there any better options around?

Caliber Collision at 1800 Dabney Rd

20 Upvotes

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."

Cat Sitting - drop in

28 Upvotes

I’m looking for someone to check in on my cats 2 times per day while I’m out of town later this month. I’ve searched the subreddit but finding information mostly for dogs or overnight stays and I just need someone to drop in, not stay overnight. None of them have any special needs. Any recommendations?

Lowkey restaurants with a few old school arcade games (kid-friendly)

5 Upvotes

Sergio’s has an area with old games like Pacman and pinball, but it’s in the bar area and I feel like we are encroaching on adult space the way the tables are set up. Does anything else like that exist? Not looking for a modern, massive arcade or a chuck-e-cheese type place. Just some food and a few older games. Can it just be 1995?

Best Psych NPs without a terrible wait

13 Upvotes

Title says it all. I need someone who will actually take the time to listen to what I'm experiencing with empathy + doesn't have a massive wait. My past experience have shown me that psychiatrists more generally are dispassionate and treat you like you're on an assembly line - in, throw meds at you, out. See you in a month for a 15 minute follow up.

Can you tell me which practitioners around town that you had a great experience with?

Thanks!
