There's some state jobs open downtown, if you don't mind everything moving slowly and being a couple years outdated. 😅 www.jobs.virginia.gov/jobs/search

It's a puzzling tip - there's a SouthState Bank in suite 210 at 901 E Cary (James Center), but I'm pretty sure it's not the top floor. And the Omni is in the other half of the James Center (1021 E Cary). 🤔

Richmond Resource List Below is a list of community organizations and other resources that are actively helping keep RVA and surrounding areas safe from I.C.E.

Someone shared this list of local orgs the other day: www.rvago.org

Most groups post upcoming events or protests on instagram, which I kinda hate, but at least you can view them without the app

Apparently this fellow made a name for himself by walking around playing his trumpet in the vicinity of Monument and Floyd, ca. 1979-1983.

A spooky painting of Mari Lwyd, the Welsh Holiday Wassailing Horse, moving about a winter woodland at the dead of night. Multiple red arms reach from under her sheet cloak as the moon forms a halo behind her head.

Merry Krampusnacht everyone! Here’s a spooky Mari Lwyd I’ve painted for an art show in Richmond, VA tonight!

the For You link is the same as the RVA one, isn't it? 🤔

Anyway the RVA one is the main feed I watch

Chef Mamusu (africanne on main) makes full-sized catering pans of jollof rice for their buffet and events, not sure if you can order in bulk though 🤔

Map of the Laurentide ice sheet and other related ice sheets in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum, from Wikipedia. It covers a small amount of the northern US

Huh, that's less extensive than I imagined!

I love that land use donut chart graphic! 😍
For parking specifically, PRN used ODM data to calculate that 25% of the downtown area is parking lots. parkingreform.org/parking-lot-...

But now I want to make one of those graphics with all the land use percentages (probably from Parcels again)

I think they just had their monthly volunteer training yesterday, but you could join their whatsapp/telegram chats

I think people generally agree that it's the oldest at 1737. St John's Church was close though, 1741.

I guess Agecroft might have a claim in the Theseus-ship sense, but it's not even the same design as the original

Roller coaster in Forest Hill Park, Richmond, VA. https://valentine.rediscoverysoftware.com/FullImages/%5C00028%5CCook_4821-jpg638943156870164845.jpg

I'm starting a petition to return Forest Hill in RVA to its former glory.

By adding a roller coaster.

Neat to see all these photos of the same places over time

Screenshot from goog street view showing 1321 E Main and a narrow building next to it, followed by a parking lot

Well, the two buildings on the left side are still there, but that one on fire (1319 E Main St?) is a parking alley now

RVA Community Fridges has also been doing some great organizing, it's a model that's started taking off in recent years www.rvacommunityfridges.com

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."

LOL

I guess all these people wore modern tuques/beanies as well... it all just feels very lovingly thought out 🥰

The Cowichan sweater from native Vancouver islanders, worn by fishermen as an outermost layer. Denim jacket from a German Jew in San Francisco, for miners and rail workers. Double knee early Carhartt pants for Michigan iron workers. Tough Chamois shirts by Leon L Bean for Maine hunters.

Just a guess, but what I really like is that this outfit seriously commits to telling a historical love story of iconic outdoor work wear across northern America and Canada in the early 20th century.

Essential workers 💪

I don't understand the identity/data differences between them - do you mean because of the dns verification?

Want to contribute? Right now it's run off a simple Google Sheet:

What an awkward site. It does seem to have a little more info than the old one though, so I guess it's an upgrade. 🤔

I should make a map of how much they change across the city. Mine wasn't bad, +2.4%
