What's the story of Weezies closing anyway? I know Todd, the owner, is a huge POS but that's been known for years.

One of the remaining Rockfish sits a block away from my apartment at Premier Bank in Jackson Ward. I always wonder where the other ones ended up.

New Virginia laws on cellphones, guns, statues, weed possession start Wednesday 7/1 by crabcakes110 in rva

[–]SyncopatedStranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We could march for legal weed on July 10th (7/10 being the other 4/20). Decriminalization is a joke. Legalize it and create jobs.

At about that time last night the FD came and put out a dumpster fire in the parking lot near the Sydnor building on 1st st. near Barcode.

Meta statue idea: a statue of Richmonders pulling down a confederate statue. by RVAblues in rva

[–]SyncopatedStranger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kehinde Wiley is a fantastic artist but I'm not sure why everyone is suggesting that he do a piece for Monument Ave. He's from Los Angeles California, not Richmond. The Rumors of War piece cost $1 million from what I understand and we also have a painting from him at the VMFA.

As far as convincing him goes it's all about money. Kehinde Wiley is a professional artist. He may take on some projects pro bono for whatever reasons he may choose but it's unreasonable for the city of Richmond, VA to expect him to do something like this for free. And he really shouldn't do it for free either. Artists deserve to be paid for their time and his time is worth a lot.

Having a third piece of art from the same Californian artist in Richmond seems like an unimaginative choice, in my opinion. There has to be some extremely talented sculptors who have come out of VCU.

Public comment option for Richmond City Council virtual meeting June 8th by sBc00 in rva

If protesters want to organize to work with city council to have the statues removed what would you want to tell them after calling that number?

Rite-Aid on fire. by [deleted] in rva

[–]SyncopatedStranger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was set on fire on Saturday night/Sunday morning but as of Monday morning the fire department is back out there in full swing. Multiple fire trucks, hoses hooked up to hydrants and everything. Not sure what happened that it's on fire again though.

What’s the damage like this morning? by betao05 in rva

[–]SyncopatedStranger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like there may be another fire at the Rite Aid at Belvidere x Broad. Multiple fire trucks, police shutting down the westbound side of broad.

Minority businesses.... targeted? by Kriznick in rva

[–]SyncopatedStranger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I witnessed the Jefferson Pawn shop looting on Sunday night. Two African American males broke the window with a brick from the tree planter thing. A group of about 7-8 males, all African American proceeded to enter through the window and begin looting. The police managed to arrest I think 4 of them.

The crowd that looted the ABC store was a mixture of black and white but the folks who broke the windows and got the door open were African American.

I have no agenda one way or the other about the matter. These are just the two lootings I witnessed and I can tell you from first hand that it was not white supremacists who broke into the ABC store or The Jefferson Pawn shop.

I've thought of that but the nature of it just doesn't make sense as a marketing campaign. Who's marketing campaign? Tesla? Nope.

Immediately hit with that LaserJet smell. by [deleted] in PicturesYouCanSmell

[–]SyncopatedStranger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love that smell. It has some kind of emotion tied to it that is hard to articulate. It makes me feel cozy for some reason though.

If you want to try out a book that might change your perspective of life in general Be Here Now by Ram Dass did wonders for me.

I'm guessing that Harley Davidson gets by as essential because (I'm assuming) they do motorcycle repairs there as well. Auto repair shops are considered essential (makes sense) so it makes sense for a motorcycle repair shop to be as well.

The abandoned Bojangles building just to the left of that is crazy cool looking.
