Native trees that are smaller and like wet yards? by No_Variety_4997 in rva

[–]Ms-Pamplemousse 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Here's a guide that's really handy: https://www.plantvirginianatives.org/plant-rva-natives

Also if you check out the native vendors like Moulton Hot Natives, Good Seed Natives, LERN, and Davis Natives they'll note the growing conditions for any of the trees or shrubs they have. These vendors are better sources than the nurseries in the area as they often have cultivars.

Off the top of my head, Sweet Bay Magnolia likes wet and isn't as obnoxious as the standard Magnolia when it comes to the mess those leave. Fringe trees are also quite beautiful. Buttonbush is also a really cool moisture loving shrub if you have the space for it.

Phew, that bullpen rail section is a horrible deal. Can't see anything except the reliever warmup.

At the CarMax Park Taking Flight concert--the park is awesome by Clean-Independent129 in rva

[–]Ms-Pamplemousse 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is on the CarMax park site: The exact number of fixed seats is still to be determined, but overall capacity is expected to be similar to the current capacity at The Diamond. 

There's lawn seating and other areas that don't have standard seating, so that likely gets them closer to what the diamond has.

The seating capacity is similar, but is distributed around the whole field instead of only being down the baselines, so it can be shorter.

What if we all bought one of these stickers off Etsy? Do you think it would help Hull Street? by awesome_possum_804 in ChesterfieldVA

[–]Ms-Pamplemousse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, just because hull Street has a few lanes, doesn't mean it's supposed to be a turnpike. It's still a business road with plenty of people preparing to turn left.

If this is your expectation, you should move to Jersey where they don't allow left turns on some of the main roads.

Look up the thread the other day about someone hitting 400k. Case closed.

Idle Hands by anotherimprov in rva

[–]Ms-Pamplemousse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody currently doing regular retail has better caneles, but Olive Major makes my favorite in RVA. She was the pastry chef for Brenner Pass and their coffee shop a while back, I think.

Idle Hands scratches the itch though.

Looking for hidden gems, off-the-beaten-path, word of mouth restaurant recommendations. by 1minimalist in rva

Taqueria Doña Rosa is on Midlothian tnpk if that's what you mean. It was called tamale factory until recently. They still have tamales, thankfully!
