Just an FYI for the March Madness crowd, Wood & Iron is not doing happy hour today (didn’t do it yesterday either) most likely due to the tournament. Kinda dumb but it is what it is…

Hello kitty food truck will be in town at some point tomorrow. Also drinks and games at the local barcade(hoping they've fixed the games...)

Boss/CEO has been on vacation all week, therefore I’ve been on vacation all week. This weekend will consist of massive Sunday scaries.

Starting off today with my adhd testing and closing the restaurant tonight... followed by a double tomorrow open to close and then Sunday homework all day🫠 I am so tired

Diablo 4 Early Access Beta! Excite!

Before you take the Slate News Quiz, comment what you think will definitely be asked and a long shot.

Definitely: SVB

Long shot: Seaweed

Happy Birthday to me. Lunch with parents and son today, then some VCU basketball, and then dinner with the family tomorrow night at Brenner Pass.

Tonight I’m binging the ever-loving shit out of The Glory. I’m on episode 9.

Go tour some houses and hope I can leave the purgatory of home buying soon.

Anyone got thoughts on Fulton Hill? I don't know much about the neighborhood except that it's close to Churchill.

I'm looking for a neighborhood with trees, where I can have easy access to a coffee shop and good dog walking streets. And semi close to the airport and under 400k. Any recs?

Nothing too exciting this weekend. Going to be planting a bunch of seeds, getting the outdoor rows cleaned up and ready to plant, and fixing/adding some irrigation lines.

Sunday afternoon ill be yelling into the void while I try to put frost cloth on all my fruit trees again. These back and forth temp swings are brutal.

So many things to choose from! The Weekend Event Thread is hopping! I've been meaning to check out the Classical Incarnations series at G5, maybe this will finally be the weekend I do it.

I'm going to enjoy green things today.

I'm not one of these people who is 100% against single family homes, even though them being this close to the CBD is sort of a travesty, and I'm not complaining about the price, but I think it's tough to call this project high density. Sure, it's higher density than the suburbs, and the parking lot it was before of course, but those are pretty low bars.

This was a missed opportunity for the city and housing stock.

They're very nice. I live down the street. I'd love one.

Looks like a nice project

Now I want to see if people complain they aren't available for rent

A good friend of mine owns an Eagle of Virginia home out in the Pump. 4 story townhome. He loves it.

Well that’s bad mews.

All infill is good but this part of town offers all the negatives of living in a city and very few of the positives.

It is a weird project and they stick out amongster the ~$150kish 800 sq ft condos and apartment buildings that are the few residential spaces around.

I didn't say they weren't well done. Just a comment on the price point of new construction in the City.

They took surface lot parking in a desirable neighborhood and put up high quality, high density housing that matches the surrounding esthetic and RVA Reddit will still bitch that doing that costs money...

" The townhomes are priced from $810,000 to $875,000 "

I guess I am just not really the kind of person that cares about any of that. My primary concern is catching a buzz and if you don’t bring booze to shamrock the block you are only scamming yourself lol
