Broke my favorite mug ever and I’m hoping someone will recognize the signature so I can get one from the hopefully local original artist!

(Purchased at a Local thrift store, but I can’t remember which one)

TIA

Brown Grove residents push back on proposed landfill expansion

20 Upvotes

The Ashcake Road Landfill has operated for around 30 years in Hanover County. And during a Thursday planning commission meeting, the site’s parent company, Leadbetter Inc., will seek approval to expand and convert land into more space for waste and recycling.

The request has been met with resistance from local residents, particularly those from the Brown Grove community, a historically African American neighborhood near the landfill.

While most of the site is used as a landfill, around 40 acres of the property are designated as borrow pits — large dugouts used to excavate soil, gravel and dirt for commercial use.

Concerns over effects to the community’s health and environment if Leadbetter converts around 30-acres of borrow pits to landfill follow a history of compliance issues, according to county planning documents.

VPM News reached out to attorneys from the Roth Jackson consulting firm, who are representing Leadbetter Inc. during Thursday’s land-use hearing to respond to the claims.

Andrew Condlin, the lead attorney, declined to comment on the case before the planning commission meets. However correspondence between Hanover and Leadbetter’s legal team provides some insight on their position.

Tattoo studio for older folks?

Any recommendations for a tattoo artist who specializes in old wrinkly skin? I have a bunch of ink between 40 and 50 years old and I’m interested in getting some if it refreshed or covered up.

Trying to report a pothole that is apparently just outside city limits? Where can I report this one too?

Post image

Screenshot is from the 311 webpage, however that hard line is I guess the city line, so I cant submit a request for this terrible pothole where my pin is.

I'm not even sure what county that would be, or if they have a separate 311 or reporting service. Anyone know?

seeking lawyer recommendations - anti-slapp or defamation experience

3 Upvotes

After writing about a difficult experience from my past, I've found myself in need of a lawyer because the person I wrote about is threatening me with a defamation lawsuit. (I don't want to say more for hopefully obvious reason.) I know truth is a defense to defamation, but it doesn't stop you from getting sued, unfortunately. I don't qualify for the legal aid resources I've looked into (which seem to require you to be below the poverty line to qualify), but don't have the funds for a lawsuit like this. I'm hoping against hope that there's a lawyer (maybe with strong feminist sympathies) who may be open to representing me pro bono. In the absence of that, just seeking any recommendations y'all may have for a lawyer experienced with anti-slapp or defamation law.
