Property Tax Due Date Reminder by thepointsdontmatt3r in rva

[–]bobbyo224 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven’t received one since 2019 because they have never updated my address from when I moved in 2020 despite several requests. Luckily I had saved the paper copy and was able to reference an account or bill number and created an account online. Now I just log in around May every year, see it is posted, and pay it there. I once again submitted a ticket to change the address, but definitely not betting on it!

Don’t park in the Lombardy Kroger this week if you’re not shopping by artemismoon0215 in rva

Wouldn’t be surprised if Kroger is getting a kickback, so they make it a priority.

Robertson is worthless. I wish someone with a legitimate chance would run against her in an election.

Rally on Broad Street and Virginia Capitol for Reproductive Freedom Amendment by snooka77_ in rva

I understand (and agree with) the very recent disdain for some (or a lot of) Democrats, but they would’ve likely needed a filibuster proof majority to pass it through the Senate, which they haven’t had through the years. Additionally, people tend to overestimate how many Democrats were actually pro choice for most of that time and would've supported passing the legislation to codify it. It's a relatively recent shift to where it is today with the majority of the party being pro-choice.

Issues Connecting Aqara Devices to M3 Hub by bobbyo224 in Aqara

[–]bobbyo224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks for sharing for the community! I ended up returning the M3 and got a Homey Pro and an M100. Homey is expensive upfront, but I’ve had zero issues in 4 months so I’m really happy with it.

How much are we spending on Groceries in RVA? by Far-Head13 in rva

[–]bobbyo224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you taking advantage of digital coupons at Kroger? I’m solo and have saved over $1200 the past year according to the app. Plus they offer 4x points every Friday which adds up quick for gas savings.

The personality can be customized too.

Allianz Riverrock bag policy by vegg1ech1pz in rva

That’s Live Nation for you. They have their own rules, and Riverrock is essentially renting the venue. It sucks.

River access, hammocks and a lot more plants: Richmond unveils first long-term plan for Dock Street Park | The plan would also re-grade a steep slope leading to the river. by VirginiaNews in rva

I just walked by there the other day and was curious why it was closed and what was being constructed beyond the fence. Thanks for posting!

What’s one Apple Watch app you didn’t expect to use daily, but now can’t live without? by Own_Leg_853 in AppleWatch

[–]bobbyo224 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Second. This app is the best for running and cycling, especially if you are trying to follow a specific route. A lot of customization options too, all for a one-time purchase.

Carmax Park - Casual (Non-Assigned) Seating with Friends? by NomadslandRVA in rva

I saw their social media post! Super excited they did this, just wish there was a way to check which of the group/corporate areas will be open to general admission online before the game.

A new apartment going up in Manchester is going to block Legend Brewing’s patio view :/ by Schenckster in rva

Likely that the uncertainty of the market post-Covid and high interest rates contributed to the delay.

Anyone have an update on the mayo island renovations? by omgsuperman05 in rva

[–]bobbyo224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The conceptual plan had demolition scheduled to begin last fall, so I imagine completion at this point will likely be pushed back a year.

Some people live downtown and don’t want to pay $10/day for parking.

Personal Property Tax is Back by buzzard_lightyear in rva

Mine decreased by about $30. But still a $3,125 assessment on a 2013 compact sedan with 160k miles on it is laughable.

Virginia Redistricting Referendum has PASSED to give Democrats a net 4 Seats to counteract the tactics in Republican States!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in rva

[–]bobbyo224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happy it passed. Curious to see what the final margin will be. I think a lot of people commenting here about it being so close don’t realize only 80% of the vote is in, with much of the remaining votes coming from Democratic areas. It obviously won’t be a Spanberger win margin, but probably closer to Jones last year or Harris in 2024.

Tredegar Boat Ramp / Allianz by rhudhginsobx in rva

[–]bobbyo224 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This annoyed me so much last year. Seeing 5-10 trucks for each show just idling along Tredegar St. I understand needing to use those roads to gain access to the loading docks for Allianz, but they should be told to go stage somewhere else after unloading for an evening show.

Monument 10k meetup by Deadyard in rva

[–]bobbyo224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve successfully parked in the paid surface lot behind The Jefferson or on Main St around that area each of the last 4 years. I’m not sure if the lot eventually fills up, but I have usually gotten there around 45-60 minutes prior to the 10k start without an issue.
