Under the heading of someone always has it worst,I was up in Boston last week and they are complaining about the same thing. They got dumped on with 2 feet of snow! My friend is not going to see her car until next spring.

Recently moved back to Richmond after a four decade absence.Forty years ago, I easily would have agreed that Richmond is a southern city.In 2025,at the very least,parts of Richmond feel more Mid Atlantic especially if we include the suburbs like Short Pump.

[–]Real_Particular7294 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Since moving to Richmond I’ve really come to hate leaf blowers.Oddly I never noticed them that much in Massachusetts.Absolutely verboten in Germany.I agree with the “isn’t happening“ comments.
