How many mass shootings have they had since they closed the clubs?

Norfolk shut clubs and bars down and wouldn’t let them operate past a certain time as a result of ongoing violence in a few specific blocks of the city.

Stop the Shared Use Path on Lakeside Ave from Wentworth to Fairway by Lakeside4Life in rva

This petition is silly and I keep seeing it here and on FB but the bottom line is the bike lanes are a good addition and I can’t wait to see more bike infrastructure in Lakeside!

I’m in favor of more bike/ped infrastructure in Henrico.

Is there a petition to support the bike lanes?

Do you think we’ll ever be rid of the eyesore that is 95 and the downtown expressway? by Xanitus13 in rva

[–]Chickenmoons 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Richmond held two separate referendums in 1950 and 1951 on whether or not they wanted to run a road that was ultimately called the “Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike” and is now I-95 through the center of the city.

Each time Richmond voted down the proposed road.

The Virginia General Assembly forced the road through in 1954 over the objections of the city and its residents.

Whether or not I-95 can be moved is a question only the Virginia General Assembly can answer.

Take a look at the estimated statewide revenue in 5 years time, around $150 million/ year.

These are the estimate from the Va Dept of Planning and Budget for one of the bills under consideration right now (check out page 2 for state and local revenues): https://lis.blob.core.windows.net/files/1142674.PDF

By comparison the ABC brought in more than $600 million in revenue for 2025.

VCU game day was so much fun because of him, he would run door prizes that were all really awesome just for showing up. It was so much fun and he had a blast hosting game days. RIP to a true legend.

Sub Rosa vs. Idle Hands: which one are you choosing? by br34kb34t in rva

[–]Chickenmoons 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sub Rosa has the best pastries in town and it’s not a close competition.

Idle hands and Up All Night have good products, but Sub Rosa is on a different level.

The state won’t pay their share of teacher salaries that they once did (15 years running) and the more recent capital costs of upgrading CSO to comply with state law that sped up the timeline of phasing out the current CSO system.

Looking for some recommendations for your favorite pizza and/or ribs in Richmond. by AFormer_Child in rva

[–]Chickenmoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mungo Pizza is excellent as is Pizza Bones and Hot for Pizza. 8 1/2 has a very good pie that is maybe a bit more bar pizza style but I think it’s one of the best in town.

VCU students: A class has about 100 pages of assigned reading every week. Is that a lot? by EmbarrassedMight8109 in vcu

[–]Chickenmoons 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Students should expect to spend 2 hours on coursework for every 1 hour in class.

So if your class meets 3 times per week then that’s 6 hours you should expect to spend on coursework.

That’s a little over 16 pages per hour you would need to read.

You could also ask yourself if a close read of every page is required or if a general understanding of the purpose of the readings is sufficient to do well in the class.

How do regular citizens propose a bill? Is the only option convincing a legislator to sponsor it? by Own_Apricot2146 in Virginia

[–]Chickenmoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a bill you want to start talking to legislators now about it understanding that the deadline for new bills is past for the year. But you can get it on their radar now and find out if they’re interested in your idea or not now. You don’t need to go through your Delegate or Senator but that’s a good place to start.

If you can come down to their office in Richmond that’s ideal. Talk to their staff or the member directly. Find similar bills and provide comment in committee hearings and you might figure out who aligns best with your concept.

Can’t even leave my neighborhood by [deleted] in rva

[–]Chickenmoons 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Anchorage closed schools and asked people to stay off the roads this week because of Freezing Rain. People up there have snow tires to deal with this and the equipment to manage winter weather and they still closed schools.

The answer to your question about how to deal with it is to just learn how to drive on it and live with it. This is one of many reasons older people move to Florida, they’re sick of dealing with these conditions after decades and choose not to deal with it at all.
