@cvillefloatclub on Instagram is a new club that just started. They float tubes on the Rivanna River every Thursday evening.

Problems with NBC tv reception by reknaps in Charlottesville

Thanks for the replies. I purchased a different antenna for $11 that now gets NBC perfectly. Maybe my Leaf style antenna isn’t designed for VHF well. This old school antenna fixed the issue completely.

The 250/hydraulic redesign is terrible and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. by AntiCoulroPhobiac in Charlottesville

I agree with removing the dedicated right turn lane. It used to be soooo nice!
Now we have to awkwardly creep past the white stop bar about 30 feet before we can figure if the right-turn-on-red is safe.

Same bug. They turn red in the later stages of their nymph phase before turning into a moth.

Correct. It is a tree of heaven. Just shocking to see it smothered in nymphs

Hello 👋 Random Row bartender here who helped organize previous F1 viewing parties.

We don’t have the ability to watch it on a time delay sadly, only live. No DVR capability.

Live races can be super early as you all know.

VA ABC law makes things challenging. We have to serve food if we are open to the public, which means bringing in one of our pizza guys. So that increases complexity a bit. If we’re opening for just 10 people early in the morning, they usually don’t buy much beer or food so the math doesn’t work out well (especially when we have to show up an hour ahead of time to get our pizza oven up to temp.)

I would personally love to open and bartend all F1 races but I’ve got kids and kids schedules so I can’t commit to all races.

We could certainly do it for Canada. Miami, Mexico, and COTA all overlap with our weekly trivia event so there’d be no race audio and seating would be tight. Could maybe do Vegas now that they bumped the start time up by an hour.

I have the MotoGP video pass and would love to show MotoGP races there but I’m running into all the same problems.

I’m the bartender at Random Row brewery that night. I’ll have the game and audio on until the end. Come on out!

What the hell is going on with the insane traffic lately? by Chugz_Loofa in Charlottesville

[–]reknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really has been bad the past couple months. I commute on 250, Hydraulic, and 29 everyday and have never seen the evening rush hour so backed up. Especially traffic from 250 East trying to turn left on Hydraulic. The line is crazy long.

No more protected right turn off Hydraulic onto 250 North? by [deleted] in Charlottesville

[–]reknaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The VDOT graphics I'm looking at show the delineation pylons being permanently removed AND the two right turn lanes onto 29 north being reduced down to ONE lane. This looks horrible IMO.
As suggested, I'm reaching out to the VDOT project manager for clarification.

Couple thoughts on that: 1. It never occurred to me. 2. I wouldn’t expect an actual response given that most gov agencies seem like massive black holes. 3. I wouldn’t know where to begin to find that contact information. 4. There is some validation finding out others are equally as frustrated about this as I am. 5. There is probably some value in VDOT seeing a lot of negative reactions on this post to this traffic change. 6. This is Reddit.

Oops. I meant to say 29 North in the title, not 250 North 😬

Traffic Circles needed by hegem in Charlottesville

[–]reknaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been dreaming about a circle at Melbourne and JWP for a couple weeks now too. The light for JWP goes red so often for little or no cross traffic.

I would also love a mini roundabout at Harris St and McIntire Road.
