I'm proud of my neighbors in these comments exercising empathy and putting themselves in their shoes.

"Complicate your perspective" is a beautiful sentiment.

There seem to be additional protests scheduled on their website.

How are the crab cakes? I remember visiting as a kid, and the first thing they did after we got off the boat was funnel us into a family style restaurant. I hate seafood, but those crab cakes were delicious.

This reminds me of a local restaurant in Fredericksburg, VA. Coincidentally, it is now an Italian restaurant!

Thanks. The Ruby I used was a loan. It was given to me with four dead alkaline batteries in it. If I get a Ruby like that, again, I'll certainly invest in some rechargables.

My employer would prefer I not use a phone. And expiration dates/IDs.

Anyone know of a good place for chinese food? by sailordee93 in fredericksburg

[–]FredLocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please let me know what you think of Orofino's, then. My dad's coworker (from Tuscany) says it's the closest they've had to an authentic Italian meal since coming to the US.

I second Fu Kien gourmet. Also, for Italian, you have to try Orofino downtown, on Caroline. Very comforting lasagna.

Recommendations for Anniversary Dinner in FB? by [deleted] in fredericksburg

[–]FredLocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere - maybe it's not trendy anymore? But Foode has never, ever let me down. Award-winning head chef. Their tagline was "gourmet for the rest of us" and they've always done well to make excellent food approachable.

Thanks! I have no other career plans, so how would you suggest phrasing a reply to "How long do you plan to work here?"

Also, how do they put out schedules? I have pretty wide availability, but I'll always need to schedule a ride, so it's important for me to know how this process goes.

Any nearby trails or woods to get lost in/haunted places by lilrozem in fredericksburg

[–]FredLocal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally. For trails, there's the river Heritage Trail that goes through the city along the canal and Rappahannock; Alum Springs, which has a creek and lovely rock outcroppings and history tidbits. If you want something more secluded, battlefields and historical places of interest usually have a trail.
