First, I’m not with CAR lol

Second, I live and own in historic Jackson Ward

Third, the JW board is all resident volunteers

Fifth, and most important, i am your HOA Karen and I will NOT be spoken to like this respect ME and my powers!

I live in JW, CAR has been painting over my neighbors murals this week next to my home. What was once a pretty bird and tree mural is now a sad plain beige color. What sucks even more is that they got beige over-spray all over our vehicles! I'm feeling really disappointed in RVA today. The vibrancy that once attracted me to moving here 7 years ago seems to be transforming into a cookie cutter NOVA hellscape at a disheartening rate. Hope City Council realizes that art in an arts district should be encouraged, not villainized. If concern is truly about it being in a historic neighborhood, then perhaps move the arts district location to a more welcoming part of town. *

Didn’t even think to do this. Not sure about the legality of transferring these but maybe a solution.

My wife worked there before we dated and she showed me the obituary last night. I hope they don’t close because that’s where I go to get my snake’s food…. I’d rather support them over petco or petsmart. So sad.

It went well I think.. find out next weekish.. Thanks all again..

My GF is a big pet lover who grew up in Lakeside. Everyone knew him. Sad to hear this!

Thank you!

Jewelry, mostly. I have so much back-stock, I’m so excited to get out there

Yeah there’s capital one and that’s about it isn’t it? I guess Truist? Can’t even think of any others, and with Capital ones’ tech layoffs recently I can’t imagine they’re too appealing

Two hours is a half day? Shiiiit, I wish work was like that.

Good luck! Whatcha selling?

If it’s disconnected and just sitting there post it for free on Facebook and it will probably get snatched up quick.

If you need any muffler work, Larry at Larry Muffler Shop is a great guy. Very straight up.

No- because that subreddit is full of fake BS. This actually happened…And no, I don’t give a shit about the driver or his carelessness that led to him losing his phone. Karma’s a bitch and he certainly got what was coming to him!

In my opinion all leasing companies are bad (for society) but some are at least slightly less shitty. I would recommend redefine property management from my personal experience. They leave you alone, allow some reasonable leeway with some rules, and respond to maintenance requests. That’s all I can really ask for in a leasing company.

Well, I have it on good authority that Rivers Edge deals harshly with creamer thieves. So if that’s a concern, you’d be in good hands.

Out of curiosity, has anyone compared this map to the historical red lining map of Richmond? It looked like a lot of overlap with red and yellow zones but I freely admit I could be confused by the red lining map.

Anyway. Is this hullabaloo about the murals just a way to exert control over the people in these neighborhoods? Sounds like it to me.

Most of the bigger companies handle it. Green Air does on the smaller side of things. It’s going to be stupid expensive compared to some of the super high efficiency heat pumps that are available nowadays.

Absolutely go eat shit. They covered up graffiti. Nobody elected you or wants you. Last I checked most of you aren't even homeowners in the CAR districts (should be mandatory IMO).

If I wanted an HOA telling me and my neighborhood how to live, I'd go live in Short Pump.

Expensive Pain is Black-owned and does color.

4% here

A rep with CAR showed up to my house while it was on fire and told me that if I had asked for their approval to scrape some paint and paint it the exact same color, none of this would have ever happened.

I think there’s new ones on Brookland Park, let’s see how long it takes for the daily updates to start again.

SO MUCH POLLEN. I just went out on my lunch break and the rain had made it settle into the cracks of the sidewalks. So gross!

Hahahahahaha someone doesn’t know how restaurant margins work. How about people walk an extra block to or two to get their pizza.
