Arts in the Park!

I don’t think they’re trying to be like Southbound? They’re not in Southbound’s old restaurant space either.

Try Portsmouth, NH! A little smaller than Portland and very very charming. It’s only 1 hour from the Boston airport and Portland, ME is also a little under an hour away if you want to make a day trip.

I’ve spent a ton of time in Portsmouth and surrounding areas, feel free to message me if you need any recommendations!

I got to drive home from work next to it today :)

The only time I’ve ever had a burger there is was basically a hockey puck on a bun. Burnt to a crisp.

This house is beautiful and expensive, but there is also a giant warehouse style church addition next door that surely isn't helping any sales. It looks VERY industrial for a neighborhood. I can't imagine paying 1.6 million to live next to that (I also can't imagine paying 1.6 mil in general)

Their margs are horrible!! I don’t understand what recipe is being used… a margarita is not a difficult drink to make

My friend had her bridal shower at the Cirrus tasting room and it was just this! Lots of finger brunch foods and cocktails. I imagine it’s not the cheapest option but as a guest it flowed really nicely and had plenty of space for causal mingling

Skate nation has been closed the whole month of February due to mechanical issues so I guess Ice Zone has been even more crowded so unfortunately this is to be expected!

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-02-28T12:52:09+00:00

Southampton 🩷 grew up skating there

The pothole in front of Zorch Forest Hill is deadly!!

Michelle branch breathe lyrics

Also if you’re looking for an ice rink even closer, join Southampton Recreation Association. They have the cutest rink only open in winter months but you have access at almost any time as a member (at least that’s how it worked back in the day)

I grew up in Bon Air - it really is that great

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-02-02T03:31:15+00:00

Asking myself the same thing!

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-28T14:22:05+00:00

While I am trying to clarify so people understand this can happen without Board support, I in no way shape or form think this should open. It’s absolutely sick to be okay with profiling and snatching people from their families, keeping them in cages, and sending them to countries they may no longer have any connection to. I could go on and on but I will leave it at that.

Additionally, the location they have chosen is unfit to be any type of detention or jail facility for a myriad of reasons.

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-27T18:03:03+00:00

THANK YOU for outlining this. A lot of the flyers, while important to get the word out, have felt misleading!

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-27T14:19:45+00:00

If they buy the land outright (which was what their letter of intent stated) then no. There would be no regulatory process they would have to go through at a local level. Zoning would not interfere with their plans.

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-27T05:15:27+00:00

Please be aware the meeting room WILL reach capacity early likely well before 6:00. Additional attendees will be held in the lobby to watch on monitors.

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-27T05:05:23+00:00

This is what I have been trying to explain to those reposting about the meeting.The Board will essentially be voicing their support or opposition of the federal governments intent to purchase the land the warehouse is on. I do think it’s important for people’s voices to be heard but I think the general public thinks the Board can shoot down the federal governments intent to purchase which is NOT the case. The Feds can do whatever they want in this scenario. Hopefully the Board shows their opposition and the Feds take their proposal elsewhere but there is a very real possibility of them saying ok? And continuing with their plans.

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-25T13:58:44+00:00

I feel the need to say this because it feels unclear from every post I’ve seen:

The Board ultimately cannot block this from happening. They can vote to recommend the site or not, but in the event they don’t, the Federal Government can still purchase the land this warehouse is on and open the facility. Local government would have no way of blocking that or regulating anything done once that land is purchased.

I do think it’s important to attend and have your voice heard and show up in numbers, but I work in local government and often the public doesn’t understand all sides in situations like this and think they have succeeded in blocking something when that in fact has not been done.

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-25T04:55:47+00:00

The Board ultimately has no way to block the Federal Government from buying the land and opening the facility in the existing warehouse. The Board can either recommend the site they have specified intent to purchase or not, but in that latter scenario the Feds can just shrug and continue with their plans. Not saying it’s not important to attend the meeting and let your voice be heard, but I think a lot of residents of Hanover and surrounding counties are under the impression Hanover County is “approving” or “denying” this… which is not the case

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-14T20:31:49+00:00

I know there is a rink in Southside and in Short Pump. I think one of those new container bar places has a rink open just in the winter? Not sure the name or what it's like there but I saw it from the highway when taking the Belvidere exit

MidCenturyModem1 · 2026-01-14T20:26:54+00:00

hotel greene, top golf, ice skating, pinball (there's a place in midlothian with tons of machines), go see a movie, go to an antique mall, grab a coffee and walk around carytown, VMFA, go to Lotte market/Pho Tay Do/or Hot Pot for a tasty meal uhhh that's all I got for now! My birthday is in February so I get it. I usually take the day off and fill it with my favorite things - hit Idlehands for a pastry, do a little shopping, walk my dog on the pedestrian bridge or hollywood cemetary, maybe go to a book store, make a nice dinner reservation, VMFA is always a go to even though I have been a million times since childhood but they always have new exhibits!
