SAME. I moved here after the Coliseum’s closure, and it’s been tough going to large shows living here. The drive to both cities is always tough. Have to build in at least 2 hours on either side of the day just to drive. It sucks.

I live not far from the proposed spot, I personally love the idea of a Sheetz, I frequent the area already for food from McD’s and Go Bird, and occasionally gas from 7/11, Sheetz would give folks a decent alternative option for food and gas.

I really am having a hard time seeing the issue here. Seems like a home run, they’re not booting anyone out for the shopping center, it’ll increase traffic for those businesses, and it’ll get rid of one of the many empty buildings on Forest Hill. When are we going to get out of the mindset of “preserving” an area? When all these businesses leave and create more empty buildings because nobody wants them to grow?

Bring on the Sheetz!

Hi, former employee of the station. Simply put, FOX Richmond (WRLH) is owned by Sinclair, they have a long standing partnership with NBC 12 (WWBT, owned by Gray Television) to produce newscasts on their channel. Same staff, same studio, just different graphics essentially. I never fully understood the agreement, but that’s the simple answer.
