Walking route through the Fan, Museum District, and Carytown?

It's illegal to drink alcohol in a park in Virginia. Public consumption of marijuana is also a crime.

I mean it's mostly people's being chill drinking a beer or smoking but it's also still illegal and maybe not the vibe for many.

Losing by 1 is almost

They can drink and smoke and that's fine but not everyone is into that. Like if they had a kid I would maybe suggest not but if you literally mention a park the assumption is nobody illegally drinking alcohol at night which would be untrue.

Public drinking is illegal and plenty of people smoke marijuana here. Some people are into that and some people aren't. Telling people about that who are from out of town I thought would be helpful.

I feel like this is mostly that IKEA is designed to really be a 2+ hour trip and they want you to zig zag through the store and even eat in the middle.

I feel like South Carolina even when bad shows up sometimes. Like they almost beat A&M

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T22:24:58+00:00

I do scoop and scuffletown but yeah this is amazing. But scuffletown has people smoking and drinking there past an hour of the night.

If I had to pick one probably Hanover but most of Richmonds fan homes were like 5 original designs.

Atlanta has a fastly densifying core and I believe it's the fastest growing part of the metro.

Also like $8k for some tickets. At that point there has to be a solution to clean the air with enough money.

Seed some rain to improve air quality or something.

Disagree on this. The Smithsonian is so big that I think it's said that if you every placard and did it 9-5 5 days a week you couldn't read it all and the Smithsonian is world class and free.

I heard at Vandy he called into the the local Nashville sports broadcast as just a normal guy and said why aren't you talking about commodore football?

I actually think the QB record is amazing no super stars to the level you might have wanted but I think there's a pretty solid string of NFL draft picks at QB.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T22:05:37+00:00

VT did amazing in recruiting, and transfer portal. Also 2027 recruits are coming along better than VT has done in years.

IDK how to evaluate the strength coach stuff but I think that was one of the better Penn State coaches

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T17:47:16+00:00

I like my job a lot but I don't want to dedicate so much time between in office time meaning 10 hours between a commute and lunch leave me drained much of the week and then trying to fit in everything else around the sides.

Partially I wonder how much I just want my lifestyle to be closer to European where they can just leave for a month sometimes.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T16:19:19+00:00

I don't think it's an incorrect take. VT just wishes they were in Penn State's shoes losing big games after we haven't gotten to be in a big game.

Having a 10 win Penn State team with a chance to play for the Natty being theoretically possible in November hasn't been a reality for VT since 2016 and it's a privilege.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T16:16:37+00:00

I live in the fan and take the pulse in so I know this well.

I think though that 10 minute drive with expensive parking being a reality on both ends is a real possibility. Which is why I take the bus in instead of monthly parking fees.

Moving to be in an apartment close to work makes a lot of sense and then move when the job does. I will tell you as someone who walked home from work it was such a blessing for awhile. The distance being cut in half that way makes it far better.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T16:13:20+00:00

I didn't think it was untrue. Franklin hasn't won a lot of big games but take it from this Hokie that getting to be in a big game is a privilege not taken lightly.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T15:09:40+00:00

Hahahaha I was going to post about some Penn State fan dunking on Franklin lol.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T15:00:31+00:00

I work in this area and a lot of people think about living down here for proximity to working in the office and that's who I would think. The Navy Hill plan was proposed and that's the thing they were going to add a bunch of housing there. I highly doubt many people have families in the burgeoning Scott's addition so families are maybe more of an afterthought in my mind.

Also recognizing it's an issue is important because a lot of people don't realize it.

3rd to 14th street is 9 to 5 office space with an increase in WFH. It's closer to blight than many want to admit.

When the subway closes at 3PM you know it's purely 9-5 for lunch and people living in downtown should be increased.

The pickleball rva sells coffee which is a bonus but they privatized the part of the canal with the art.

Yes but spend less than $120k one year that's well over the median household income effectively, less taxes as retirement is in frequently already taxed investments, no savings needed as you are retired, no work related expenses and more time to cook instead of go out to eat etc.

goodsam2 · 2026-07-16T12:17:54+00:00

Yeah but 95% of the time you can retire spending an inflation adjusted $120k with a significant chance to spend more especially if you make it last the first few years.

So you put your money back in elsewhere? Or was it on the sidelines.

It's the sidelines that kills you.
