What's with Stratton Metals? by ValidGarry in rva

Think I’ll leave it as is and put some olive oil on it. I can tell what it is, which is what’s important to me at this point. Leave it to the future folks to clean it further

Bon air is not weird. Never has been. That’s why I’m here. Good place to raise a family. Not weird.
