If Milwaukee sends me a bunch of free stuff to replace all my DeWalt tools, then I’d be more than happy to switch my allegiance.

There is actually LESS housing in the fan, It used to be run down and every mansion was chopped up into apartments, now those are turning back into single houses. What used to house 10 students now houses a family

Many different people here are sharing their negative experiences with the daughters of the confederacy. But you're "pretty confident".
Okay buddy. Internet 101 for sure.

Not sure tbh - I'm not familiar with his tools. I'm also not exactly close to him nor my mom, would rather let them fend for themselves since they made me do the same years ago. Not to sound like an ass

I don't go see cover bands either. There are times I've hit 5 shows in two weeks. Again...depends what you like.

Reply to Where can I find bells Oberon? I bought some at Food lion over 5 months ago and can’t find it at Publix, Wegmans, Kroger or food lion anymore. A 6 pack will be fine but if anyone knows where the 12 pack or the 5L mini keg that would be great! by Kingblur
It’s a seasonal release—warmer months. May not be out at the moment. Bells should also have a beer finder on their webpage.

This was about 15 years ago. They came in every so often as a large group of about 20. The first time they came in, was when they said they didn’t want any black people waiting on them. They only said it to the host and none of us told management because 15 years ago, the “customer is always right” attitude was really catered to so we figured management wouldn’t care. It wasn’t until after they left that management found out about what they said and they had our backs and said the next time they came in, they couldn’t make that request and we could ask them to leave. The next time they came in, they didn’t say anything about not wanting a black server but we always made sure to have the black, gay server wait on them just to make them as uncomfortable as possible.

pokémon and zelda are the first two games I remember playing and they’ve both stuck with me as an adult. My gameboy went everywhere with me. A store in town had huge plushies of the og starters and I remember absolutely begging for a charmander. That poor guy got thrown up on, stitches up his back, you name it 😂 But I still have it to this day.

Just don’t turn into Seattle. Nothing worse than junkies shitting on your front porch and leaving needles in your yard.

he said very little VARIETY in live music. Crappy cover bands are not everyone's thing

It’s seasonal and should be released in about 3 weeks.
Edit: Oberon Day is March 20, 2023.

It's entirely "when I was in college I did super weird shit in strange places because that's what you do at 19 but now that I'm older and have different priorities Richmond is boring" based.

You're thinking of Loveland. They were bought out by Premium who is owned by Reyes out of Illinois

I don't think any lawyers, though we have 2 international firms, that one is an interesting question they might get left off. Hunton and McGuire. Biggest 2 are Performance Food Group and Carmax. Capitol one isn't on here because headquarters in Nova, but it still matters too. As do VCU/VCU med and state

It's always interesting to see neighborhood "boundaries" get stretched when an area becomes popular. Some real estate listings define "Church Hill" as the area where Mechanicsville Turnpike hits 64.

It's been going strong for a few years now, it's so hard to say. I don't collect cards personally, but some items I have have just exploded in value. A clock I have that used to sell for around $300 is now worth $8,000+

yes, but that's more a symptom than a cause. Though it adds to the economy

fwiw Portland has had minor population declines (2003) now, and I think post war as have other major cities. I think it's interesting but not major.
And our last census was an undercount for various reasons.
But urban area/msa is the best way to look. If someone moves from the Fan to lakeside I don't think they've really left Richmond
