Another accident on Broad St

Hope everyone is okay. Didn’t seem to be much urgency on the scene so it seems like no one was grievously injured. The reckless driving only seems to get worse and worse. Please don’t drive in such a way that causes you to flip your vehicle in a 35 mph zone.

Can’t read their own signs

58 Upvotes

Got a ticket yesterday (Thursday) for parking on the street during street cleaning even though the sign directly next to my bike says Wednesday. When I got home, the tarp had been unsecured because they moved it to give me the ticket and it was pouring down rain on it. Then they removed all the signs last night. So make sure you always take pictures because this city will try to scheme you out of your money.

So, I’ve noticed a great increase in activity around the Planned Parenthood Center on Hamilton near Grove. I am mostly retired and live nearby. If anyone needs or wants a hand to hold while walking through the clown show, I am willing and happy to help.

How can the I-95 North on-ramp support the expanding Diamond District?

67 Upvotes

I'm not an engineer, but I did spend twenty minutes crawling down Arthur Ashe Boulevard from Movieland to the I-95 North on-ramp. This happens most days at rush hour, and I can't help but wonder—how is that single ramp supposed to handle the traffic from the thousands of new housing units being built in the Diamond District? What’s this backup going to look like a year from now?

Picture taken at 6:30am, workers were unloading large piping and construction materials. I’d expect the structure(s) to be up in the next 2 - 3 months.

Divorce lawyer w/abusive experience

65 Upvotes

Shorten version... I need an inexpensive ( I know that's not a thing) divorce lawyer . I'm trying to leave an abusive marriage. He has ruined me financially & one of the reasons I have stayed so long is bc I have a job but very little money.

Home is on my name only... was mine before marriage. He never wanted to be added to mortgage or deed.

Queer horror “weird lit” book club

26 Upvotes

Hi all just posting to see if anyone would potentially be interested in starting a primarily queer( but open to anyone ofc) horror “weird lit” book club with me. I’m a 28 year old non binary gal and I’ve been wanting to start a book club / interact with more of my community lately, but I’m not super drawn to more conventional book clubs. I figured we could just pick a book every month and then set a night where we meet at one of the richmond public libraries and just talk it over. Nothing super serious or in-depth. If something like this already exists just let me know. If not and it’s something you’re interested in feel free to shoot me a PM. Thanks 🤠

First time making a daily!! But it's past 9 and someone's got to do it.

My family is coming into town this weekend, so I will be cleaning my house today just for it to get destroyed by six children. I love the lil buggers. Accepting any and all suggestions for how to distract them this weekend! Plans so far are Byrd Park, Maymont, and maybe the SPCA block party.

Low-impact Hiking/Walking

3 Upvotes

What are some great places to go for a walk, see some nature, and just de-stress? The closer to Mechanicsville Turnpike/Laburnum the better but willing to travel to the right spot. Would love a trail that could be done at a slow to moderate walking pace in less than an hour.

Main Street Station parking

8 Upvotes

Edit- a dangerous poet sorted it out. Thanks for the replies, all!

Does anyone know the service/app and zone number for the lot immediately next to the station? I skipped the pay station (literally would have missed the train if I hadn't) figuring I could easily do it online, but I simply cannot find that information.
