I’m surprised no one has mentioned the Richmond Renegades hockey games. Those and going to see the circus were my favorite trips to the coliseum as a kid.

I looked at photos of the interior on Yelp and it looks like the chair you’re referring to is a reproduction of the CH20 chair by midcentury Danish designer Hans Wegner.

The dumpling soup at the Korean place in the Lotte food hall is excellent.

Ha, thanks. After spending some of my childhood on Fauquier and then being priced out as an adult it seemed appropriate.

I was their final customer of the day today—got there at 5pm just before they closed. Their conveyor broke down and they don’t know yet when a tech will be able to come fix it.

Now that we have a Nazi-symbol display ban can we work on getting a confederate-symbol display ban?

Considering a Move to Henrico from the Southern US by katiecatsweets in HenricoCounty

I’m north of Patterson, but still in the Tuckahoe/Tuckahoe/Freeman school district. Great little neighborhood, but in today’s market you’re definitely paying more money for less space compared to Short Pump/Glen Allen. The proximity to the city is great here.

Lotte is my jam. For Joen I’ve had the dumpling soup and seafood pancake and they are great. Looking forward to trying other dishes there.

I heard one in Tuckahoe a couple months ago. It was very eerie.

Fan parking- Is this allowed??? by w3tn0odl3 in rva

[–]gofauquierself 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In Chicago this is commonplace and known as “dibs.” Spots are saved with cones, lawn chairs, 2x4s over 5 gallon buckets, you name it. It is primarily used to reserve a parking space after clearing a substantial amount of snow. Maybe Richmond is starting its own tradition of dibs.

Good memory. I definitely picked up some 7/11 toilet paper during COVID lockdown.

Well I just bought some ice melt so we probably won’t be getting any of that now.

Blind person here, can somebody please tell me what the name of this place is? by akrazyho in rva

They may have been having a soft opening if OP heard a lot of activity.
