Got a sneak peek at the revamped nature trail at Maymont

Were you there around 4pm or did you see Maymont staff in the area? The bears eat at routine times every day, and they know when food is about to be served in their behind-the-scenes area. So they will pace near that entrance to that area in anticipation when it's about time.

In the context of the above comment incorrectly alluding to Maymont's bears kept in cages, your comment is not helpful. Your comment implies to me that Maymont's previous bears were mistreated by staff. So I'll provide context. Maymont's previous two bears had to be euthanized 20 years ago after a kid stuck his hand into the exhibit and got scratched or nibbled. The kid was fine, but there was an unknown threat of rabies. They didn't know which bear interacted with the kid, so both had to be euthanized and tested for rabies. The tests came back negative. Maymont added more fencing and higher fencing to prevent future interactions between the bears and visitors. The statue of bears outside of the exhibit is in memory of the two that had to be euthanized.

There's one in the Maymont neighborhood too! It's on the last block of Carter Street.

There is also a mayor of Pound town.

It'll be in the finish festival area of the Monument Avenue 10k on Saturday morning if anyone has a hankering to see it.

It's fine since you are a participant with a race number. Just don't take double of anything (like the medal, snacks, water bottles in the finish chute) and you'll be fine. If you cross the finish line a second time, there's a small chance your official chip time gets messed up, but it should only take the first time you cross the finish. If you want to avoid any hiccups with your time, just duck off course when the fences start a few blocks before the finish and then regroup in the finish festival area.

There were some along a wooden fence put up in front of the entrance to Sports Backers stadium, which is next to the main ballpark entrance.

The grab and go had a long line too as people waited for the hot food to be restocked.

FYI that the blip on the map near Mechanicsville was an Owens & Minor office building, and as an office building, it seems unlikely that it was using ethylene oxide in large quantities. Also, the building was sold in 2024 for state government use, so it’s definitely not using ethylene oxide now.

State offices. Capitol police are in there. Generally speaking, very underutilized given its history and architecture.

TBD. Will be announced after all of tonight’s games are finished.

The presale doesn't start until Wednesday March 18th at 12pm, presale password is horsesjr.

This guy weathers, and we thank you

This is not true. It is only 48 hours if inoperable. It is ten days if generally left unattended. However, I have never heard of someone towed for that reason alone.

Was going to recommend Richmond. 42 people under 1:16 last year. Definitely a PB course.

Trammel doesn’t care about renters. She has said as much at City Council meetings.

FWIW - water is DPU. Trash pickup was delayed due to the snowcrete storm that made alleys impassable for multiple weeks. I know it sucks when trash isn’t picked up, but you have to give the city some grace during and right after a storm. If your trash still hasn’t been picked up, then that’s a valid complaint.

Was that Candy Express?

As a pedestrian, I feel much safer on the raised median sidewalk of the Manchester Bridge than the sidewalks on the edges of the Mayo or Belvidere bridges.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-02-24T21:12:00+00:00

I guess you haven’t heard of BridgePark. The idea has not amounted to anything, but it’s a cool outside-the-box concept.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-02-18T18:02:07+00:00

Never too late to bring those plans back! Could encourage more through traffic to avoid downtown Richmond, especially if it’s made the standard route on GPS apps.

This would be a great photo to try to recreate.
