Cool, thanks. Might try that one out next time I get one.

I'm intrigued. Is it better than a regular white noise machine?

Came here to say this. I spend too much money any time I go into the VMHC shop 😫

My neighbor pointed out that many of the blocks they're digging up were freshly paved just recently. Classic Richmond. 🙃

We love it, the principal's awesome, breakfast and lunch are free (so no having to pack!), and there are tons of amazing teachers who give 100% to engage the kids. Check out the school's Instagram and the PTA's Instagram to get more of a feel for what's going on around school. And above all, contact the office to schedule a tour. Walking around a school yourself is worth much more than anything you'll read online.

On a broader note, here's a long comment I wrote about RPS about two years ago, and I still stand by it. There are problems, absolutely. But there were problems in my Chesterfield County schools growing up too, and I grew up happy (what matters, imo) and what the world would consider "successful" too. Come be a part of the families in RPS who're showing up, supporting our schools, and helping to improve them for everyone.

I agree—though to be fair, some are, and have been since the 80s. CARITAS started out as "Congregations Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter."

A+, u/rvasatxguy.

If anybody's genuinely curious about DogsBite and any of the other statistics, simply go to the site and follow the links to local news stories. See if you think they're all a hoax, or just regular local journalism about deaths in their communities. Follow up and send questions to them if you want to.

This. And I am sick to death of it, because it's completely avoidable if people stop thinking they're above the law and that their slight convenience is more important than other peoples' lives.

And because when it happens every day all over the world, it's not a "freak accident."

Thank you, u/icecreamfist. You were the hero I needed today.

The entitlement is so strong in these people who want to put their preference / convenience over other human's and pet's ability to simply exist.

The worst part is that they still want to argue about it like it's up for debate, when it's the law and simply part of the social contract when you live in Richmond. If they don't like it, they should move somewhere that doesn't have leash laws.

I've had something similar to this for the past three years and you won't need anything warmer than that in RVA. If it gets EXTRA cold for a few days a year as it tends to here, I just put on an extra sweater underneath and I'm fine.

🤣

Haha. I think he means Gingerbread Stout (Hardywood beer).

I love this. Come on entrepreneurs!

Mozart Festival @ all over Church Hill - Saturday 10am - 7pm

A day-long free music festival where many of Richmond’s finest classical musicians will provide a beautiful soundtrack to this historic Richmond neighborhood. Do we have lots of live music? Yes. Do we have informative events put on by experts? Yes. Do we have a family fun-filled afternoon? Yes, we do! Folks, we got it all!

How does your husband like that job? It's one task that I've always thought would be SO satisfying. Just sucking up leaves and detritus with a giant, all-powerful vacuum. 🙌 Like a katamari-style task.

This. They're the absolute best! Set up their cocktail table so beautifully, had all the equipment they needed, and were so professional. I'll probably hire them again sometime. 👍
