Big one coming up soon. Looking for suggestions. I've got a few ideas, but wanted to see if anyone did anything they really enjoyed.

Since it's come up. Mostly myself w/ a partner. Maybe a small group. Prefer unique experiences rather than a big party.

Hi! I have bought a house and will be vacating my apartment early November. My lease doesn't end until May so I have to find a replacement tenant for the landlord to let me out of my lease. That being said, 2 bed 1 bath, right off Forest Hill near Little Nickle. $1295 a month, includes water. There is a shared washer and dryer in the basement. Spacious rooms, deep windows perfect for house plants. Old building so don't expect stainless steel appliances, but has ac/heat, and the price is super low for the area and space. Also the neighborhood is amazing! Pets are allowed for 50/month. Application fee is $50 and you have to show tenant(s) make 3x the monthly rent in gross income.

Who else is excited?? My 16 year old daughter woke up before 9 am specifically for this!! It's 10:00 through 4:30 pm at the Main Branch of Richmond Public Library. (Sessions from 1-8 pm.)

Post if you're going, or if you have a table!

VDOT's design-build contractor Kokosing Construction Company (KCC) will continue work to replace the bridge on Route 250 (East Broad Street) over Interstate 95 in the City of Richmond.

The closure is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 4, at 8 p.m. through Monday, Oct. 7, at 6 a.m. Broad Street will be closed in both directions at the bridge over I-95 including both ramps on I-95 southbound. Unlike the previous weekend closure, no travel lanes will be closed on I-95. Pedestrian access on Broad Street will remain available throughout the weekend.

Future closure dates for the impacted weekends will be communicated as the project progresses.

Detours will be implemented to direct motorists around the work zone. Motorists traveling through the Richmond area should use Main Street, Leigh Street, or the Downtown Expressway to avoid significant delays.

For more information on the project, visit: Richmond - I-95 Bridge Rehabilitations.

Anyone with questions about the project can call VDOT’s customer service center at 800-FOR-ROAD (800-367-7623).

For the latest real-time traffic information or road conditions, call 511 or visit 511Virginia.org.

Have a son who’s gotten into Rubik’s cubes. Looking to take him to a club, event, shop, whatever to meet some like minded folks. Googling only brings up articles about school competitions and Covid tournaments. Anyone know of anything?

Thanks!

My Maytag washer and dryer are 16 years old. Do you have any trusty appliances?

Anyone know of any organization taking clothing donations? Or any resources for me to just pack a bunch of stuff up and ship it over there or something?

This may be a fantasy given it’s Friday night, but my friend and I both got broken up with and want a place to chill and have some drinks and be sad. Basically anywhere that’s the opposite of lit.

Hey! I just moved to RVA recently. Looking for some cool, nerdy places to hang out and socialize! Any recommendations?

I've never really played D&D or anything like that, but might be down to try it out if anywhere has beginner game nights! Personally, more into anime though.

Hey, I know this is really specific, but I'm wondering if anyone might have any recent experiences with any dental providers, preferably on the Midlothian side, that do gum grafts. Really nervous so hoping to find someone who has some good reviews 😅 Thank you!!

How we doin? What are you getting into?

I’m looking forward to zoning out and watching Salems Lot on Max. Big, fancy Friday night but I need this relaxation.

…than a brothel?

Review of a sex toy shop near me that is WAY too busy to just be a toy shop. Nearby Richmond.

Posting here because I don't have many Strava friends and no one really cared on my Instagram. I'm purroud of it, though, and think there's gotta be someone else on here who'll appreciate it! I present the City Kitty route! Enjoy RVA!🐾😜 Find me on Strava or IG if you want the turn-by-turn directions. @focused_fox

Hey! So I’m looking to get an up-do/braid styling for a Halloween costume and have been striking out with a lot of the salons around RVA. Does anyone have any suggestions for a crown braid styling that I can have done locally??? Thank you!!!

Coming from the Northeast and want some good southern fried chicken. Hoping that Richmond can satisfy. Anything goes in terms of price, location, etc .

EDIT: Mama J's did not disappoint. Going to check out either Lees or Wise Choice on my way out tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions!

Title. Looking for laser hair removal recommendations for the few inches below my beard/neck line. Anyone have any positive experiences in the area?

My disability rights group is october 13 at fuel pump at one. If anyone is interested let me know

Hello,

I’ve got a cosmetic procedure scheduled in the Richmond area and I was originally told I only needed medical transportation which is relatively easy to find, but now they want me to have someone monitor me for 24 hours. I was planning on having someone drop me off at a hotel and recovering there for a day. I won’t even be put to sleep for this procedure and was wondering if anyone knew a resource that provides transportation and monitoring, but I really don’t care if they actually stay with me.

Greetings! I’m looking for a garage that can service a vintage (1980s) camper van. It has had fuel line issues, as well as an e-brake malfunction. My regular mechanic doesn’t have a lift sufficient to get into it. Thank you, neighbors!

Are there any spin classes that you like near downtown (or at least on that side of the river) before 6am or after 8pm? With my baby in daycare most of the day during the week I hate to miss his at-home waking hours.

Any info on pricing and vibe also appreciated.

Thanks!

On my ballot has three options, I don't know much about any of them and they probably don't differ too much on the issues honestly so I don't know who to vote for.

Andrew "Gumby" Breton -- https://bretonforrichmond.com/about/

Zachary Walker -- https://zacwalkerrva.com/issues

Paul Goldman -- https://www.goldman4council.com/

Does anyone have any strong feelings about these candidates? Gumby has the best name, and seems like the young, hip nerd of the group. Paul Goldman seems like the seasoned, connected political type. Zach Walker seems like just some random guy who is involved in his community.

Any insights appreciated. Thx

Hey, it's just me, my mom, and my brother this year for Thanksgiving and we don't feel like cooking a big meal. Does anyone know if there are any restaurants that you know for sure are open on TG? Or, if you know of any restaurants that have been open in the past on TG that I could call and ask? Thanks

Looking for a pumpkin patch to take the kids to that isn’t owned by a transphobic MAGA. We used to love going to Gallmeyer’s, but the owner’s Facebook postings are so full of hate that I can’t support the business anymore.

Last night (10/3/24) I was heading back to my house after dropping a friend off at his place. As I was turning onto Wilmer Ave from Chamberlayne to stop at WaWa I saw a bunch of blue lights. As I got closer I saw ambulances, fire trucks, and cop cars stretching all down Brook road almost all the way to Crunch Fitness, and they stopped about 200-300 ft before Dumbarton Rd. I got there just as they were transporting the last victims to the hospital. As I was leaving news vans were pulling up so I knew it had to be something big. I was trying to figure out what happened last night along with one of the staff members at McShin since we have a bunch of houses in that area and we wanted to make sure none of our participants were involved. I did a head count with my guys as soon as I got back to make sure that they were all there before I started handing out medication. I still haven’t been able to find anything on it. I wanted to post here and see if anyone knows anything because I’m really curious as to what happened. The guys at my house said that they saw first responders zooming past our house on Dumbarton when they were smoking out on the front porch. I can’t seem to find anything online this morning either.
