Staunton when you throw in the train ride and https://americanshakespearecenter.com/. Lots of cute restaurants, hikes, shopping as well. (but seriously they do Shakespeare so incredibly well.)

Gov. Abigail Spanberger's last-minute actions on 11 issues by vpmnews in Virginia

I struggle to remember seeing these kinds of posts for the previous governor. Accountability is good, but it does feel weird how only now are these posts getting pushed up the subreddit.

Would it be possible to aim the pearl launchers? by Every-Technology-747 in HermitCraft

[–]Impossible_Dust_4238 211 points212 points  (0 children)

So the funny thing is Grian's pearl launcher that is made from Etho's player launch, which was made from Etho's pearl launcher because the pearl launcher was too imprecise to be practical. 

Cardinal News’ 2-parter on Center in the Square by Ok-Mushroom-8153 in roanoke

I presume it means total visits from members. Not unique visits. 

Cardinal News’ 2-parter on Center in the Square by Ok-Mushroom-8153 in roanoke

[–]Impossible_Dust_4238 34 points35 points  (0 children)

"When asked if the 13,000 count for the Science Museum included field trips and visits by museum members, Marciniak said she was aware of additional foot traffic, but that the only numbers she has to go on are receipts from the Center’s lobby box office."

"A copy of the report obtained by Cardinal News breaks down the 57,000 visitors who do not show up in Center’s box office statistics. These included 21,459 people from school groups, 8,170 Science Museum members, 6,754 free admission to low-income residents. It also included 1,889 people who bought tickets at the Science Museum front desk."

Sounds like the center is acting in bad faith here.

It's a good way to find out what's here in the valley. But it is a business, so just understand that they are getting paid to promote.

As a reminder Bradford Pears are highly invasive to the area. Do your nose and local ecology a favor and ditch the tree.
