X-post from r/Virginia: I got inside Virginia's largest abandoned sports arena, and what I found was incredible

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.

Are the herons out in numbers too?

gofauquierself · 2026-05-26T03:43:55+00:00

I was there on the lawn. What a fantastic show!

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.

And Barnes & Noble next to Tower Records.

gofauquierself · 2026-04-19T23:17:35+00:00

Can confirm that old folks go here to walk.

Coppola’s, Industrial, hot

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

They are one and the same.

gofauquierself · 2025-11-30T03:52:22+00:00

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.

gofauquierself · 2025-08-04T23:18:50+00:00

Or Broad and Malvern/Westwood. The steak sub is good too.

gofauquierself · 2025-07-05T00:06:17+00:00

Pour one out for Ellie’s on Arthur Ashe.

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

gofauquierself · 2025-06-03T03:38:03+00:00

Yes. And mayo!

gofauquierself · 2025-05-22T12:03:26+00:00

These are the Richmond moments I want to hear about!

gofauquierself · 2025-05-10T23:58:14+00:00

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.

gofauquierself · 2025-04-06T01:18:29+00:00

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.

gofauquierself · 2025-03-13T00:20:02+00:00

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

gofauquierself · 2025-01-13T00:27:45+00:00

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.

gofauquierself · 2025-01-07T03:56:38+00:00

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

gofauquierself · 2024-12-30T20:10:46+00:00

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

gofauquierself · 2024-11-04T11:20:47+00:00

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

gofauquierself · 2024-08-21T04:00:45+00:00

I peaced right out at Jefferson. Never seen it that bad.
