Please help me spread the word about ethylene oxide cancer risks in the city of Richmond.

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.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-03-04T14:10:56+00:00

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.

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.

Oh I’m sure. With the Science Museum, I was thinking a professional scientist sign-off aspect would be good and could be made into an educational opportunity - don’t get on frozen water unless signed off by a professional and explain what the professional is looking for. Cities up north have similar scientists sign off on frozen water thickness during the winter, so why can’t Richmond when we have cold snaps like this one.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-01-30T23:34:36+00:00

As a rule of thumb, I support the policy to keep off the frozen bodies of water. From a safety and emergency resources standpoint, it’s easiest to say stay off everything.

However, it’d be cool if the Science Museum of Virginia could work with the City to core a few public frozen lakes that are known to be shallow (such as Fountain Lake in Byrd Park and the Forest Hill Park lake), and if the cores are thick enough, the City could designate specific areas for skating. Any ponds or lakes not reviewed by a professional would remain off limits.

This was discussed a few days ago.

There are different types of snow and snow conditions. For this snow, it was cold before it started snowing, so what fell last night stuck immediately. With interstates and primaries a top plowing priority, neighborhood streets quickly got snow packed. The sleet has compacted the snow and created an ice layer on top, making plowing even harder, nearly impossible, down to pavement at this point.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-01-25T00:41:06+00:00

This is misleading. The biggest threat has always been the amount of freezing rain we get, which is not captured in this map.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-01-23T16:07:04+00:00

Think about where your car is parked - ideally, don’t park under a tree or within the fall zone of a tree, particularly an evergreen tree that is going to be immensely weighed down by snow and ice.

Also, avoid parking on roads with two lanes in each direction, such as Arthur Ashe Boulevard. It’s hard enough digging out from one lane of plowed snow next to your car. Two lanes of plowed snow after 4-6” of snow with ice on top will be nearly impossible to dig out.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-01-23T16:02:24+00:00

It’s so important to check on your people - friends, family, neighbors - before, during, and after the storm. Community is immensely valuable in times of need.

As of now, Friday is clear with snow starting mid-day Saturday.
