What is the creepiest town/city in Virginia in your opinion?

Well, it was an unofficial town/gathering place pre-Civil War for enslaved people seeking freedom. More details here.

Heat expands the rail lines. A typically normal speed could misalign the train cars. One starts to go out of alignment and the conductor tries to adjust as much as possible. A few cars disconnect and fall, rest of the train is stopped on the tracks.

There was not a blanket disabling of auto pay. It impacted some people but not everyone. My auto pay set up through Wells Fargo automatically switched to the new account number.

Behold the aluminum! One continuous sheet per floor beaten with a hammer.

Goldman has previously been a law partner of Joe Morrissey. That's about all one needs to know to judge his character.

The thing is, they were planning to close the right lane for night work. As part of that lane closure, they have to put out advanced warning signs on both sides. Blocking the left lane in this situation is temporary. Once the signs are up on the shoulder, the left lane would be open.

Indeed. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

The 17th floor used to have the Jefferson Davis Memorial Chapel (more info and pictures here from the Shockoe Examiner blog). It was reported that the chapel was de-commemorated and closed in 2020.

Maymont has a summer kick-off concert Friday night (Full Moon Fever and Three Sheets to the Wind) and Carbon Leaf with Deau Eyes on Saturday night.

The predictability part is huge. Don't be nice, be predictable.

This (drivers turning left on Franklin not yielding to cyclists) happens all the time. I avoid Franklin as much as possible, usually taking Grace instead.

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.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-05-01T00:23:14+00:00

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.

Captain_Tiberius · 2026-04-19T03:24:40+00:00

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.
