If you don’t find a home for her, she can come be my outside tortie. After time, we can try introducing her to our 4 inside cats.

We have a shed and would give her a good outdoor life, but we are city dwellers.

My coincidental twin kitty:

Oh… this makes a lot more sense. Growing up in an area with volunteer firefighters, I always thought it was because they had more firefighters on shift after four.

Read this article when it came out, there is nothing definitive in it, just says they aren’t sticking to the original plan.

I’m not saying they WON’T go there, I’m just saying nothing is official and it’s the latest water cooler gossip for the state employees working downtown

🤷‍♂️ at this point it’s all gossip.

Nah. Governor’s staff already has some pretty swanky offices. I don’t see them moving. Not with there being a priority to empty the James Monroe Building

The building is going to be split between legislative and executive branch agencies. The only “for sure” I’ve hear is capital police but that could change with the new study they are doing to consolidate offices.

Latest I heard is that smaller (less than 100 staff) agencies that have a priority for being downtown (ie, interacts frequently with governor’s offices or other agencies like VDOT, Health, DMAS) will go there. I’ve heard potential for OSIG and APA going there. Probably some of the year round legislative staff.

It’s going to be office space for state agencies

Clicked every link in this article, none of which leads to a study. They all go to other articles.

Please provide a source for these statistics. Preferably for other minor league baseball teams, not the training camp because that is completely different.

If you don’t understand that the flying squirrels is one of the least gross private entity that public resources subsidized, and overall it provides some good to the city and provides good to the community, you are a pot calling a kettle black.

Look, I get it. I understand your point. But there is ALWAYS something “better” to spend the money on. It doesn’t have to be an either or situation. Sometimes, it really is helpful to support private entities in this way. The Flying Squirrels is not worth this fight. The Training Camp? Absolutely. That was ridiculous. The proposed 1B in corporate tax cuts in the state budget because we have ‘a surplus of revenues’? Get the fuck out of here. That’s so dumb. The casino? The proposed coliseum? I Can get behind all of this.

The city doing something they promised they would do 14 years ago? Please pick a different battle.

Funny you say that. The Diamond District will include mixed income housing and lots of green spaces.

Oh no. The government is subsidizing a private entity. Unheard of! Unacceptable!

Oooo! Am I one of the man children?!

Thank you. This is the better argument that I could have made.

I will add that if we lose the squirrels, the chances of getting another minor league team with the front office of the caliber that parney gives us is slim to none

Baseball doesn’t own the infrastructure, the city does.

If you think Richmond not spending money on this means it’s automatically going to kids and roads, you are gonna be really bummed if ever take time to learn how government budgeting works.

Also, as stated elsewhere, Richmond owns the Diamond. Not MLB nor the Squirrels.

Jeez. Have you even been to a squirrels game? It’s an affordable family friendly event and generally a good time even if you don’t like baseball. A family of five can go out, fed and entertain the kids for way less then a dinner and a movie.

Enjoy spending time out doors? ✅ Enjoy local beer? Wait it’s priced cheaper than the brewery?! ✅✅ Enjoy supporting local businesses and charities? ✅ surprise, yes they do this too. Enjoy music? ✅ local bands play before every first pitch. Enjoy looking at fit men in fit pants? ✅✅✅ Enjoy looking at unfit men in wild/crazy pants? ✅

Sporting events at the minor league level are NOTHING like major league team and attending is hardly about the sport. You know, we can have all those other things you listed AND baseball. You don’t gotta shit on a whole collective of people just because YOU don’t like baseball.

Not gonna lie, I loved mine too. Only reason I’m selling is because I got a great deal on an Apple Watch and the only reason I’m switching is because apple has better integration with diabetes tech and I still have a forerunner for running.

Flying Squirrels are an asset to the city and I will die fighting on this hill. I hope we pony up or at least attempt to negotiate or appease the MLB because the new Diamond is going to be build whether or not we have a minor league team because VCU. It would be beyond infuriating to lose the Squirrels and Parney over this.

Ooo. Good looks. That makes sense.

I believe Amazon is where we got our trial batch. Probably only got like 1000 seeds or something to see if it will take in our crap dirt before investing for the whole yard

Honestly leaving it up to the S/O to deal with. Think his plan is to wait for a rain and then till up the the yard. We have a lot of moss and shade and just plain dirt patches to deal with so who knows how it will go. I think he plans to seed in March.
