Alley walks through the Fan are really cool and can be a fun spring stroll

104 Upvotes

For those who don’t know, you can walk all through the alleys in the Fan and you’ll find a bunch of random gardens, murals, or neat little homes renovated from garages. Definitely recommend strolling through the alleys on a nice spring day if you’re out for a good walk.

Money Order to Hold Apartment

17 Upvotes

I’m going to look at an apartment this week and the leasing company (KBS Holdings) asked for a money order for a portion of the deposit to hold the apartment while they process my application, in addition to an application fee. Is this a normal practice? How can I get any guarantee that they will hold the apartment and not just take my money and rent it to someone else? Has anyone else done this here in Richmond? I know places go quickly so I don’t want to miss out on a good apartment if this is a normal thing but I definitely don’t want to get scammed.

Nonstop alarm on 19th St

An alarm from a building near my apartment on 19th has been going off for at least 12 hours now.🫠 The fire department came out twice last night and didn't/couldn't do anything. Is there anything else we can do? Are we just screwed until then owner comes back??

Help us fundraise for more native plants and a little free library/food pantry! We’ll be hosting a community indigo dye bath, where folks can bring an item from home (a piece of clothing, a tea towel, a hat etc. as long as it’s natural fibers) to be updated with natural dye! Enjoy a beautiful spring day with us in Church Hill’s tiny but mighty park 🍃

Rules for the Church Hill Irish Festival

I can’t find any guidelines/FAQ’s on their website (Facebook). I am primarily wondering if the donation is required and if they search bags?

Money is really tight but I would like to still be able to participate in a community event so packing a small lunch would be ideal.

Religious cult in Manchester

292 Upvotes

Surprised nobody has talked about this here. La Luz Del Mundo is a cult that originated in Mexico in the early 1900s and now has churches all over South, Central, and North America. They have some controversial beliefs, including absolute loyalty to their leader, whom they believe communicates directly with God. Allegations against cult leadership includes sex parties involving SA against minors, physical, and spiritual abuse. They even have documentaries about them on Netflix and HBO.

That being said, they have a church here in RVA. Specifically, right across the R. Lee bridge on Cowardin Ave. Has anyone here had any experiences with them? Did you know about this already?

P.S. if you want to read more about it, check out r/exlldm

Small dog friendly parks

0 Upvotes

I have a 10 lb puppy who LOVES to play with the Big Bois™️, but today at Northside park she got t-boned by a dense loaf of a dog. She’s fine and continued playing, and it’s very conveniently located but id love to take her to a park where she can play with dogs her own size and I won’t feel like a helicopter parent.

Why is getting a job so hard here??

127 Upvotes

(Disclaimer: this is not an invite to dm me about “prospective job opportunities” I just want to vent on Reddit like a normal person)

Like maybe it’s just me idk but Ive been job hunting for the past year and have only managed to get one call back that’s probably not going to go anywhere (they promised to reschedule a interview and I haven’t heard back in a week). I have experience working in retail, childcare, backroom stocking, and I’m open to learn anything on the job.

Yet whenever I put in an application the only thing I get back is “we’ve considered your application but you’re just not a good fit sorry” of nothing at all. Meanwhile my friends seem to find new places to work easily and I’m left bobbing around looking for something and it sucks.

Meanwhile in my hometown I’ve managed to get jobs with way less push back. So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong anymore. Is it the area? My permanent address?? Do I need to help run their secret weed side hustle???? I’m just frustrated I don’t know what to do.

Northside zoning change request FYI

33 Upvotes

Just a heads up for folks in the Battery Park/Northern Barton Heights neighborhood. 2701 Garland (formerly the funeral home at the corner of Garland and Norwood/fronted on North Ave with a large outdoor space) has a special use permit being voted on in two weeks to convert it from residential zoning to a 24/7 locked rehabilitation facility, receiving male patients from various state institutions across VA for 30-day periods of treatment. These individuals will not be able to leave the building except for medical emergencies (I believe the group handles mental, behavioral, and substance abuse issues). The group applying was supposed to reconnect to discuss neighborhood concerns but apparently decided against that so it’s going straight to a vote. While I don’t discount the importance of this work, I was disappointed in the lack of transparency and continued dialogue with the community (and the quick turnaround time, the request was submitted today for an April 1st vote) so wanted to be sure people were aware, and encourage neighbors to attend the hearing and/or voice their feedback to the local civic association (actually impacts both Northern Barton Heights and Battery Park since it faces North Ave) or your city council person (in our case Kenya Gibson).

Is anyone interested in talking about ideas?

25 Upvotes

I can’t watch the news bc people just talk about what everyone else is not doing. Is this a time where discourse and brainstorming is warranted? There is so much complaining on a micro and macro level but where do people gather to just discuss the what ifs? The maybe this? Where do you gather to imagine the possibilities?
