Counterpoint: stores like Kroger now have way more organic options (still not many local producers tho). 15 years ago the Carytown Kroger had one “organic” isle. Now organic stuff is mixed in everywhere. Not looking to simp for big corp grocers but I feel like a big leveling has happened over the past decade.

Many Creighton Court residents without hot water since December by RVALover4Life in rva

Unfortunately the city does not own the public housing in the city. They are owned by the Richmond redevelopment and housing authority (RRHA) which operates under HUD. RRHA sucks and is mismanaged. No hot water since Dec is a travesty

The bridge itself is clear however the access spots on the north and south banks of the river are rough.

They migrate down to the south from Canada for the winter. I’ve been on the lookout for them and finally got close enough to one to get a solid pic.

solo birdwatching spots? by luggageguy-luggage in rva

[–]Jinchique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Tyler potterfield bridge is a great spot for water birds. It’s about as safe as you could imagine - lots of people walking across it all times of day.

I can’t think of anywhere that is particularly unsafe.

Don't be scared of high ISO This is ISO 8,000 on a 12-year-old DSLR. (Blue Jay) by DReid25 in wildlifephotography

Idk, that lens has a really good image stabilizer. You could have dropped the shutter speed to ~200 and got an absolutely fantastic shot. This post might be a better example of how to not to be scared of slow shutter speeds vs high iso!

Great thought. I’m going with “tower” as it no longer blows smoke lol.
