I also think your opinion was not constructive, just so you know.

Rappahannock did a bad job of pivoting for COVID. They could have easily run s to go oyster and drinks joint. Big Island Aquaculture was selling oysters out of the back of their truck to lines of people when the restaurants stopped buying.

Yeah, I think it was a COVID shutdown that became permanent

DM email address please!

Oh man, I didn't realize they closed. That's a bummer.

I went out looking for oysters yesterday and everything was closed.

Check out Birdies! Not far from where Rapp Session was

Lovely.

Thanks for that little history tidbit! Never knew why it carried that name.

Yup. Scratch the surface of anything around here and there’s some effed up racist shit behind it.

Wow, how fucked.

It was created as its own town when federal law made Petersburg schools integrate. The whites moved across the river and set up their own schools.

Man, I miss Rapp Session. Having a place for Oysters and drinks was such a cool date night option

Evernest exists in many cities. Landlords and tenants hate them everywhere. Look at reviews online. It's like a slumlording corporation, but they figured out a way to make it bad for the landlords who use them for property management also.

Oh is it really a "white" town? As in, "you had better not be caught being brown in our town" type of racist shit?

I thought those type of towns only existed in the deep south.

How about all corporate landlords?

Colonial Whites.

It's actually newer than the shitholes around it.

Most of the segregationists who moved there years ago migrated further west.

Rappahannock will also sell "bulk" oysters from the bar next door to their main restaurant. Merroir is their restaurant by their actual beds and is worth a trip.

Big Island Aquaculture does weekly deliveries. The Big Market in Bryan Park has a vendor with fresh oysters or jarred on Saturdays. Yellow Umbrella would be good to check out.

East Coast Provisions, Burger Bach, Sam Miller's, Hard Shell all have on the half shell.

u/CrassostreaVirginica sounds like the person to ask

I like the painting but the logo is somewhat of a focal point. Do people brand their paintings these days instead of signing the corner?

If you don’t find a home for her, she can come be my outside tortie. After time, we can try introducing her to our 4 inside cats.

We have a shed and would give her a good outdoor life, but we are city dwellers.

My coincidental twin kitty:

I love it. Collectivism is the only weapon we have vs these people.

I've got no problem with storms, they're quite refreshing.

"Severe" storms, I don't mess with those.

Nice 💪💪

I'm not an Evernest tenant, but I'll be rooting for y'all

So you were saying you weren't free to come here? You weren't free to divest from your native country? You seem to have been able to do that.
