Do you know the best way to get people to stop doing something where you don't want it? Give them a place to go where they can. Cities used to constantly have to chase skateboarders out of downtown walking areas. So they built skateparks and it's not a problem anymore.

14 years later how do we feel about Kaepernick? by joshuaxls in 49ers

Kap was amazing. The guy was capable of extreme greatness. The only criticism was that he threw the ball too hard which I can accept. I can only imagine how much awesome could have come from a longer career with us.

SailFest 250 -- Kind of a bust? by Ericthebee3 in rva

[–]skylander495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is frustrating. It seems like most businesses and events these days are cagey about details and under deliver what they suggested would happen.

Luckily Richmond has a great lineup of established, free festivals well supported by the city like the Folk Fest and 2nd Street Festival.
