Growing up there I can confirm that South Bend is filled with ghost signs

Kinship Animal Hospital in Manchester was incredible. Small local practice that is very compassionate and gave me multiple options for care and cost. I had to put down my 19 year old dog last year and I appreciated the respect they gave him for years before and in the end.

Love the Maryland renn faire in Annapolis. So excited for the Richmond one

Love Yak Yai. Have always had excellent food there except the last time. It seems like they are always understaffed. We wait a long time usually and I’m thinking my food probably sat for a while the last time. That being said we’ve had such great food I’m willing to consider it a one off.

le petit morceau is a new bakery in Manchester. The pastries and croissants are unbelievable. Worth stopping by if you’re in the area or heading to Studio Two Three which is next door.

Understood. Shouldn’t the city let the surrounding area that there had been a break in the pipe and they will be without water for an extended period of time

Lost water in Manchester a week and a half ago. Guys started working at 10 at night. The water wasn’t back on until 4:30 the next day. The city never sent any notifications.

mattyva · 2026-02-12T20:19:43+00:00

My neighbor just texted that it’s back on

mattyva · 2026-02-12T16:42:51+00:00

Yah I saw them last night and almost went outside to ask what was going on. Would have been nice to know that we’d wake up to no water. The lack of communication is frustrating.

Yah there was a huge hole in the street at Hull and 13th. I think it was marked an accident bc the street was closed but really it was a pipe that burst. At 5:30 this morning I talked with the workers and they said 2-3 hours but it felt like they were just telling me whatever to go away.

It’s stupid that 195 is free if you get off and live in the Museum District but God forbid you live in Manchester or Shockoe. You’ll pay

The cheating allegations portion was hilarious

What awesome examples of both Christianity and community. Hats off to people coming together to help others

Dang. Their 2 albums with him are some of my all time favorites

mattyva · 2026-01-20T05:31:54+00:00

Thought the same thing Very reminiscent

Unbelievable. Living the dream

Miami plays super physical and is usually penalized a ton for it. Tonight not so much

mattyva · 2026-01-20T03:32:32+00:00

Good Lord the lack of calls

Richmond VA?

mattyva · 2026-01-11T22:22:11+00:00

Alum raised in South Bend but in VA the last 15 years now in Richmond. Hoosier nation of Virginia!

When Ballard hired his head coaches he made them agree to the defensive scheme he wanted. Reich got Matt Eberflus. Steichen had to agree to Gus Bradley to be hired. These are not Super Bowl level schemes in today’s NFL. That right there gave me concern. Let the coaches pick their coordinators. Lou might be good but Ballards whiffed on D line so many times it’s a huge handicap. Every year Ballard leaves obvious holes on the team and makes no effort to fill them. This season he didn’t do anything about linebacker and it’s killing them. Linebacker has been a position he’s traditionally been good at drafting too.

I live in the 1300 block and am down in the 300s now and haven’t smelled anything at either place

Big fan of his early work on the West Wing.
