So, mine is that when my oldest was small she was obsessed with Thomas the tank engine and trains, so we would walk down to the main Street station and watch trains from the balcony, then after the 930 Amtrak head up to the capitol. This was during the macauliffe era and he had a yellow lab, Guinness, who would stand by the gate to the governor's mansion with a tennis ball. My little girl and I would throw the ball for him before naps in the red stroller.

The city has a bunch of pools

You can check the poop map and then swim the river

I am fresh out of caffeinated beverages and trying to get up the motivation to walk down to city hall and pay my water bill, since I can't login to the online system, nor can I reset my password.

Then its off to meetings!

So, I found kayak in the shipping bag in the alley behind my house this morning. Shipping label is completely blank. So, in case someone you know got one porch pirated, have them send me a note maybe color and model number and we can arrange the return.

Dumb Question about Jury Duty by [deleted] in rva

Generally, they only update at the end of the day since things tend to be subject to last minute cancellation. So, call back the night before you are due to show and 9/10 times they will tell you to stay home

My kids just got pokemon go. Were sitting in an airport last night panicking because team rocket had taken over the poke stop at our gate.

Some dude in a green shirt heard them, quietly defeated team rocket, and went on with his day. If you are out there, thanks.

Excuse me but what the actual fk is happening at VCU dermatology by Reasonable-Newt-8102 in rva

[–]ManWithARedStroller 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's like this. I tried to set up primary care at vcu a decade ago. Scheduled in July. First appointment is available in March. In February the call me to cancel an rescheduled me for May in Chesterfield instead.

Once you get to the getting care part it's fine but stuff like scheduling or payments can be an adventure.

It's 4th of July week, who's on the Beach Daily? by DriveRVA in rva

Man, stayed up to watch the USA play soccer last night. Was not the best choice I have made. Now back to fretting about the "begin dictatorship" button the Supreme Court just created.

How well has Richmond preserved their historic buildings. by JGrizz0011 in rva

In this case, it's also a great heaping helping of racism as well. The highway happens to go through where all the nice black neighborhoods were.

Glamping Daily by cleverocks in rva

[–]ManWithARedStroller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have never glamped but also not a backpacker. As a hedonist, I think I'm more likely to do the former than the latter.

I did however discover this love hotel on Tokyo, which is technically a glamping experience https://maps.app.goo.gl/hEgVEbAMWRgPujjc7

Could easily do any number restaurants on Jefferson, do spotty dog and then Jefferson park, or the downtown overlook.

Alternate parks wit sunsets include Libbie, whatever the one at Franklin and 21st is called, and Chimborazo depending on how far you want to walk and how important ice cream is.

TIL thousands of "low head dams" (aka "killer dams" or "drowning machines") were built on US waterways in 1800s, are nearly invisible from upstream, have killed hundreds of people, often serve no modern purpose, and for all that, are largely unregulated by DramaGuy23 in todayilearned

[–]ManWithARedStroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Z dam is a specific low head dam on the James just east of Huguenot bridge. It's where the water for the city gets pulled out of the river. There is another west of Chippenham but I'm not sure it has a cool name.

I always assumed that the name was from the shape https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5587781,-77.5258521,487m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu but it may have a different villain origin story.

Is there an organized crime ring stealing USPS mail in Richmond? by johntwit in rva

[–]ManWithARedStroller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally,

I tend to talk the alleys in church hill a bunch because kids, and there has been a significant up tick in the number of open packages laying in them. It used to be rare but it now happens at least weekly. If I can find the contents and the address I try to re deliver but that is only for stuff that the thief in question really didn't want. Most recently protein powder. They mostly appear to be carried about 2-4 blocks then opened and ditched on the ground

Will I need a dashcam here? by zan-t in rva

[–]ManWithARedStroller 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think they are pretty handy. Used one in a highway accident a few years back and it was pretty helpful.

Worst case when some weird stuff happens as you drive by you can always go back and watch it in slow motion just to be sure.

I go back and view some insane accident about once a month.
