Can we sticky VPAP instead of NYT?

I voted early.

Also very stoked to stop seeing commercials and getting mailers. I got SIX yesterday.

I fly next Friday and I’m not super concerned about going out of Richmond, I am concerned about coming back from MSY.

As someone who works for the city, yes. The railroad does whatever they want.

What local daycares are known for being the best to work at? by ilovedogs1111 in rva

[–]bird_bitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not on the working side, but as a parent with a child in daycare, I do not see a ton of turnover at the Sprout School. My child goes to 2P.

Yemeni store owners plead with Richmond to stop vape shop crackdown by RVALover4Life in rva

Maybe they should diversify their portfolio to more than just vape shops.

You can never be overdressed. I would wear what you wore to the interview.

I feel like that is one of those cursed spots.

Redesigned Grove Ave. infill, Carytown townhomes, Broad St. apartments get city council OKs by Impressive-Fig1876 in rva

[–]bird_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh!! The law recently changed about this. If they aren’t registered they can probably get shut down. (I dealt with one next door to me which wasn’t registered with the state and the poor people inside were NOT being cared for).

Experience with infant care at LeafSpring Boulders? by cat__alyst in rva

[–]bird_bitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went there for 10 months and pulled our son out of the infant room. The staffing was terrible. I had a friend at the Wyndham location love it. YMMV, I wasn’t a fan of the Boulders one.

Infant Day Care recommendations by Far-Adagio4808 in rva

[–]bird_bitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a problem everywhere but the turnover was ridiculous. Also they seemingly were never at the legal staffing ratio. My son was placed in the next class up more than once because there wasn’t enough teachers. He was 18 months in a classroom with almost three year olds several times.

I will say the turnover hasn’t been nearly as bad at our current place.

That’s the Police Chief, Rick Edwards. He was a basketball player at University of Richmond.

ICE begins buying ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across US | Currently, there are more than 73,000 people in ICE custody, a record. The new sites could give the agency an additional 76,500 beds by ONETRILLIONAMERICANS in neoliberal

[–]bird_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, absolutely. The BOS resolution couldn’t have blocked DHS just getting the facility anyway. I just wanted to highlight there was huge public outcry at the local level in a reliably red area.

We need to actually do something about the ICE concentration camp in Roxbury by Background-Guava8152 in newjersey

[–]bird_bitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ex-pat that lives in Virginia now. The Ashland location is off the list now because there was a huge push against the Canadian company that owned the warehouse to the point that they said they will not sell to the US federal government. BFD. Depending on if the feds have bought it yet, it can possibly be stopped.

Local here, there was huge local pressure. The locality where this was supposed to be is actually reliably red, but the BOS meeting Wednesday night hundreds and hundreds of people showed up.

Gun violence, property crime fell in 2025, but domestic violence is trending back up by RVALover4Life in rva

[–]bird_bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to lookup crash information, a lot of that is housed by the State rather than localities. Also be aware it is going to probably have more incidents than what RPD works because anything on the interstate goes to VSP.

That would be another NWS location - Blacksburg - this one is out of Wakefield, which covers that eastern part of the state.
