I always honk my horn when going through there. The echo is fun

it’s like ppl in the suburbs have never heard of nightlife

Grateful for you

This is great advice. Thanks. And I’m sorry for your experience. I work with kids in a busy environment and today I realized how frazzled I am from Sunday. I’m taking a little time to reset and reflect.

I didn’t know there was a high octane version either I’ll be going back and buying some of it

It is the Cracker Barrel of the area. Most people in RVA don’t even consider it part of Richmond because it is so far away.

I went to D.C. from Staples Mill for $11 each way with a handicapped discount. Regular fare coach is $15 each way.

I saw Ashland while the train to D.C. and it looks really cute and laid back. If I didn't need to be in the city right now I'd be interested in in Ashland.

Currently looking into that. Just hard finding a place

Mindful Mom PMs BigDaddy69, film at 11.

From what I heard he left brookland park after multiple threats to his life.

Man, that’s going to be a traffic nightmare.

Unless you're in with the college crowd there I'd imagine it would suck in your early 20s. I work out there and it would be a great place to live, but for a small conservative area they sure do like their taxes. You name it, they've got an extra tax on it on top of the county taxes.

And he is anti-choice, so much in fact he was very vocal in his support of Ireland’s 8th Amendment years ago. What you’ve shared all checks out.

I’m a little confused. You mentioned in the post you wanted nightlife and in this comment you liked how it was quite in Ashland. These things strike me as diametrically opposed. I think you gotta have one or the other.

I had a friend come to meet me at the VMFA once and he walked across their walkway to get there. He was 3 steps away from being off the property when the security guy chased him down and made him walk all the way back to the other side of the building to get on the sidewalk instead. We all laughed about how the guy literally made him spend twice the time on the property when he was mere feet away from being off of it.

I can’t speak for the apartment but I looove renting with Legend. Best property management I’ve had in Richmond.

I wanna say corks and kegs still had some 6 packs. I'd give them a call. It definitely doesn't fly off the shelf like it used to

If you care about bodily autonomy and the right to choice then avoid Ironclad. He (Ryan O’Rourke, owner) has been very openly pro-forced birth anti-choice on his personal social media (I’ve posted about this multiple times).

Ah, gotcha. Sorry for the goose chase! Didn't even know there was a high octane version

He’s big MAGA as well and the coffee isn’t good. Shit was on clearance at Whole Foods.

It was purchased by Kings & Convicts Brewing out of Chicago. Constellation maintains the Roanoke facility and produces its macro brands out of it.

Welll.. that may not be entirely true..

Ashlands not a party town, homie..

I live in Ashland, my wife drives to downtown Richmond for work, takes about 20 minutes, no way it’s 30+ as others are saying. I can get to Lakeside in about 15 mins.

There’s not much here, especially for night life. Local brewery closes at 9pm, sports bar at 10pm. The brewery is in the downtown area and there are three other restaurants with small bars.

You can drive two exits down 95 for center of the universe brewery, industrial tap house, kreggers and pizza and beer, which isn’t bad. Still wouldn’t call it night life.

It’s nice here, it’s quiet, we have a great neighborhood and house, but if I were still in my 20’s, I wouldn’t move here. I’m in my late 30’s and if Caboose (restaurant / beer shop) and Origin (brewery) weren’t here, I’d go nuts. You’ll be driving to Richmond often, we do, it’s not a bad drive at all, unless you hit 95 Sunday/accident traffic.

Edit - there are a bunch of new condos and townhouses just off 95 a few exits south of Ashland you might want to look at. It might put you in the middle of things though.
