There’s a house next block over that will bring out dirt bikes into Highland Park area (3 or 4 of them). They were out over the weekend for few hours. Their neighbors (the house on corner) weren’t home so what do they do? Tear the dirt bikes through the neighbors yard (and throughout the neighborhood). Absolutely 0 respect or fucks given. It’s annoying and I don’t bother reporting them because the last thing I want is to become a target.

Take a look at your rotors - rub your finger from the outer lip, across the surface toward the middle. Two things you’re really looking for here;

  • is there a noticeable deep lip on the rim of rotor? This could be indicative of a worn down rotor and consider replacement
  • while running fingers across surfaces - is it smooth or do you feel waves? If it feels wavy, indication of needing replacement.

Another thing you can try, kinda inconclusive IMO - but go for a drive and try steadily applying the brakes. If you feel a pulsing, jagged feeling, something not smooth - could be a sign of rotors being warped/worn.

Look up some YT and you should be able to do a second opinion inspection yourself with a fair degree of confidence.

Rose Red, now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. Watched it at a birthday party in 3rd grade - had me fucked up for weeks if not months and I didn’t even finish it.

Kinda wild those giving a pass to the store and crying something something systematic.

The store owners systematically installed slots and systematically decided to allow dozens to loiter on property who are seemingly up to no good.

So yes - it is the stores problem. They can remove slot machines, stop preying on people and tell folks to fuck off the property when they’re loitering.

But all of that is anti-corner store so good luck playing hearts and mind with the ‘community leaders’ on this one.

I’m not the one comparing it to Gotham, some random dude at a gas station in Martinsville did! 🤣

Then the folks in this sub, who live in Richmond but not NHP… they would ironically sneer at Gas Station Man’s comment & take offense - but all while they themselves denounce Northside to anyone who remotely asks.

It’s a circle. 🙄

People who don’t live in NHP will tell you to run away. People who live in NHP will explain the nuances. Make sure to identify each comment.

  • NASCAR is only twice a year, try it out, maybe kids will enjoy it! We walk to the track, from the house, without issue or harassment.
  • City life is city life. Enjoy the ups and avoid the downs. This applies to people as well.
  • Crime hasn’t been an issue for us but we have cameras.

Things I don’t like:

  • Neighborhood is changing over fast - so the economic disparity is becoming more and more noticeable. How will this affect daily life? Dunno yet.
  • Somewhat related, I will say majority of the newcomers don’t seem very friendly. Maybe it’s just my perception though. Passerby acknowledgement type of stuff. I’m not looking for conversation but a smile or wave would be nice, instead of staring at me as if I just self-immolated.

All of Virginia thinks Richmond is Gotham but then half of Richmond buys into the same BS and thinks that North Highland Park is Gotham.

Does anyone know of a practice that still dilutes vs. paying out of pocket for a test which replaces diluting? I don’t want to pay my copay + $90. VEi and Cheaterfield Optometry both do it and won’t accommodate so I’m not returning…
