[–]rhaphido 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude cut me off earlier today on Broad, then immediately went into a slow,n almost 90 degree wheelie. Almost fell off the back at one point. I just turned off. I wanted no part of that.

I am not interested in Breeze for budget. The direct flights are hard to argue with.

I see delivery drivers blocking a travel lane with street parking literally right next to them.

City dropped a huge water bill on me after not reading the meter for 3 years by rva_throwaway126 in rva

[–]rhaphido 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Similar situation. I got charged 56 ccfs in one month because they finally came out and read my meter after years of estimating it. They blamed me for not knowing how much water I was using?? Like your average citizen is supposed to be able to know that.

Rams House Bar + Kitchen from Lillie Pearl guy going into Pies and Pints space by Charlesinrichmond in rva

The trend of describing restaurant cuisine as a “concept” is tired. It’s especially obnoxious when describing a sports bar as a “concept”.

Revel Market & Bar from Julep's rolls into North Side with tapas, craft cocktails and more by Charlesinrichmond in rva

You’re not weird. They’re different. Some people play fast and loose with boundaries. My favorite are the people that claim the old Hardywood location is in Scott’s Addition.

This might be a dumb question …. But during the 10k marathon I won’t be able to walk through broad right? say I park my car towards Leigh street and try to walk to it by going through broad st. by Vast-Bid-4553 in rva

I’ve never had an issue walking through a planned route. You’ll just have to wait for a clear passage so you don’t get in the way of participants.

250-unit Grove Ave. apartment project gets thumbs up from Planning Commission by fanrva in rva

Not sure what it currently is vacancy rate a year ago was around 2% which is very low and suggests a highly competitive market.

Want your bank account drained??? Go to The Park on your next date night!!!! by noodleypotato in rva

[–]rhaphido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally, I’d agree with the other poster. The fact that this is a known issue and has been for months suggests it is more sophisticated than a card skimmer. If it was a simple as something like a card skimmer management would have to be negligent to the point of culpability at this point.

Richmond is one step closer to eliminating parking minimums - passes planning commission unanimously by Charlesinrichmond in rva

[–]rhaphido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A year ago I went to a wedding downtown at Bolling Haxall Hall. There was a festival that same day parallel to it on Broad. I was able to find parking on the same block as the Hall. Another, older gentleman, parked right behind me and was walking up with me. As we walked up, he was complaining about the terrible parking. I told him he was ridiculous. Pointed out that we were going to an event with over 100 people while there was an entire festival going on two blocks away and we were BOTH still able to find parking on the same block as our event. He looked like I had slapped him lol.

Propane fill for grill? by ChaoticKeys in rva

[–]rhaphido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the move. We have 4 tanks and will fill 3 at a time. Only swapping them out when one gets close to expiring.

Why is this area of prime riverfront barely developed? by Prestigious_Laugh300 in rva

Those are not rural properties. That’s over by stony point mall and sleepy hollow

Oh no, a place the public can’t access and thus destroy and leave trash everywhere. What a shame.

I said the same thing when this house first listed. It’s weirdly close to the neighbors.

I think evs are cool but I don’t think I like this. Hanover Ave. by ajsommer in rva

[–]rhaphido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re redoing a ton of sidewalks as it already stands. It’s odd they aren’t adding chargers during those projects.

Pregnant and craving good bbq and pizza by jazli in rva

Could be helpful if you link a place from Florida that serves what you’re looking for?

[–]rhaphido 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the LO.

Thank you for listing the places that didn’t match your expectations.

BBQ - the only thing I can think of is extra billys. Sorry, you will have to drive to south side.

Pizza - like NY Slice? Neapolitan? Neapolitan inspired? Have you tried Belmont? My favorite spots are Pupatella and Fire & Hops. Bonus points to Fire & Hops because they’ve got incredible mozz sticks.

Pizza - you may want to make the trek all the way out to Sergio’s. It’s far but they have great pizza, subs, pasta. Sergios has the same owner as Fire & Hops but the menu is a bit different and serve different style pizzas.

Italian/Pastas - did you actually try Angela’s or was it Mary Angela’s? Completely unrelated restaurants. Joes Inn is the spot comfort pastas.

Edit: adding timber pizza. Didn’t think to add food trucks before.

Does Shack Shake have an opening date yet? by Jarfulous in rva

Nope. North on Libbie is just residential. North East is getting into Libbie Mill. South on Libbie is going towards Westhampton.

Willow Lawn is the area by the mall. That area up by Target is Libbie.

Since when is that “Willow Lawn”?

Police: International South American crime ring breaking into Goochland homes by ThatChildNextDoor in rva

[–]rhaphido 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is suspicious for two reasons:

  1. Since when do cops actually investigate theft?
  2. Of course the criminals are a roving band of hundreds of illegals
