The majority of Richmond's housing (aside from city neighborhoods built around shopping districts and markets) is large suburban communities that contain no sidewalks. There are extra-wide roads so drivers go unnecessarily fast through residential areas, making people not want to walk. And, even if you were to walk, there's nothing nearby worth walking to anyway. And there's nothing to look at except boring greyge house after boring pale yellow house. "Oh, Cheryl planted a new azalea bush!" Great, exciting.

People that have always lived in the 'burbs come to the city on the weekend. They drive their massive SUVs down residential streets like they do on their street that could easily be a 4-lane road, and end up taking up two lanes down Cary St. because they don't know how to drive on a narrower street. Then they don't give consideration to bikers or pedestrians because that's not what they're used to. The amount of people are so willing to hop in a $65,000 giant pickup truck that they've never really used and they can't see over the hood, then drive down pedestrian-heavy areas like they own it and pedestrians and bikers don't matter, is appalling.

Yes and no.

It isn’t federally legal, and, like it or not, federal overrides state. You’re still taking a chance by having it. Even with a medical cert. Will anyone mess with you about it? Not unless you’re doing something stupid. But cops gonna cop.

And while you can have it, you can’t buy it legally without a medical cert. Which doesn’t really make it anymore legal to the average consumer than talking to their plug. Not everyone is interested in cultivating their own plants or wants to deal with the black market. I’ve got a family - I’m not gonna risk anything from some dude at the murder mart. Is it easy to find? Sure - if your friends have hookups - but not all circles do.

So, yeah, it’s legal to own (up to a limit) and MMJ is an avenue to access, but it’s not really legal to the average person that just wants a dime to enjoy their Saturday afternoon.

You’re right. I forgot about that. Updated.

Under Youngkin? Yeah, no way. We won’t see legalized weed until he forfeits his position to run for president, or when he’s done.

It’s a damn shame.

I haven't gone since around 2018 or 2019.

But we, at least, tried to stay out of the center of attention. Maybe we got a BJ during a movie or snuck off to smoke the broken cigarette you’ve been cautiously holding in your pocket. We weren’t getting groups of people together to beat people up. We weren’t messing up people’s property. We weren’t throwing candy at other people or talking through entire movies.

I don’t care what anyone does with their time so long as it doesn’t negatively affect others. And, sadly, the actions of nearly every teenager that I’ve ever seen at Bowtie proves that they are not responsible enough to do that.

The difference is in the 90’s, we went to watch the movie, not to fuck around for 6 hours.

If you think it's rare, you've never been to Bowtie. See yourself out, thank you very much.

I've experienced it enough that I will never go back to Bowtie.

Huge source of revenue? You mean asshole kids dropped off by their loser parents ruining the movie-going experience for the rest of us that will no longer visit Bowtie?

My wife's been verbally assaulted in the bathroom by high school kids just hanging out in there to smoke.

My sister-in-law's car got burgered (like being egged, but... with half a burger?) while watching a movie for absolutely no reason.

We've witnessed fights between middle school kids outside of the theater.

About 7 or 8 years ago, I had a police officer friend that said they get more calls from Bowtie than anywhere else for fights and public disruption from middle school and high school kids. Parents don't take responsibility and just drop them off for something to do.

Dumb, irresponsible kids ruined it for the rest of them. They should've done this years ago.

Fuck you on about mate?

This looks like a crappy DIY guitar pedal.

As long as they’re not All Mixed Up

Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

You seem knowledgeable - I'm going to hijack and ask a question. I have a section of plaster that was adhered directly to brick. A less-than-knowledgeable about old houses contractor (and I won't hire again) cut a section out, about 8"x8" square. Now I need to fix it. I don't even know how I would go about putting drywall on that. Any suggestions?

This probably isn't helpful, and I haven't been to Amtrak in a while, but it used to be set up to pay when you left. If that's no longer the case, I'd call the station.

100%. There have always been bad seeds in society, whether that comes to politics, civics, driving, or even general behavior, but damn if it isn't more noticeable in the last couple years.
