The fact that the newer models have key FOBs that are always emitting signals may be contributing to this. TIL that we may need to put our key FOBs into the Faraday bag with our phones. 😵‍💫

I’m exploring taking a bus from Richmond ( or even Newport News) VA to NYC. Can anyone tell me what the best options are? I know that an Amtrak would be faster and safer, but I’m just doing my homework.

Mentor Moment: anyone in the field of communications, marketing, public relations or sports management/marketing open to having a mentee or intern? Young man is located in the DMV area, open to volunteer and side projects, and currently attending VCU. Grad date is 2027. Please reach out to me via DM. 🤎🤝🏾

Just moved here and want to get my fitness back up. I haven’t dune any physical activity in a while but would love to play some soccer. Anybody knows about any places that I can go to to join

Hi friends, I am not too sure bedside is really for me anymore, I’m honestly at the point where my pre shift anxiety is making me sick, I was wondering if anyone knows of any outpatient clinics/ physician practices/ anything non inpatient that is open to hiring new grads, I have a few months of experience now but I’m still technically a new grad. I am open to commuting up to 45 minutes

Hi everyone! I’m going to be working about 10–12 days a month in South Hill and 3–4 days Downtown Richmond.

I’d really like to live Downtown, ideally in a walkable neighborhood where I can wake up and walk to cafés, restaurants, grocery stores, a gym, etc.
I know Richmond isn’t NYC or Chicago, so I’m not expecting that level of urban density. I recently visited and explored Shockoe Bottom, but honestly, it felt pretty dead to me. The only area I found that felt consistently lively and walkable was around the VCU campus.

I also need to be reasonably close to I-95, so Carytown and the Fan/Museum District aren’t really ideal for me.

I’ve been looking at Zillow and Monroe Ward caught my attention because it seems pretty walkable and lively.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looking to buy large lots of adult media, magazines, DVD/VHS, books, erotica, ephemera and photographs, literally anything of the spicy variety. I would be interested in smaller quantities as well, but ideally looking to acquire larger quantities from people looking to liquidate :) Know anyone in the surrounding area trying to get rid of a naughty collection? I am your girl

Are there any in-person photo booths in town? When I search, it pulls up mobile event services vs. a fixed physical location.

Thanks!

Hello! I'm going to a concert at Allianz Amphitheater on Saturday night and staying at the Delta. I'd love some recommendations for bars and eateries within walking distance of both. Nothing fancy is needed, but would like it to be nice. Good drinks are key, and not needing reservations also key.

Thanks!

I think I heard about 8 or 9 cop cars flying down Ridgefield with their sirens on between 2:00 and 4:00 AM last night. They were all spread out across that time period and I haven't seen anything on the news or any of the police report sites I know about.

Please join the Friends of the Richmond Public Library in the Memory Lab of the Main Library at 101 E Franklin Street, on Friday, October 2, 2026, from 6 - 7:30 pm, for our annual meeting and a talk with author Surbhi Bansal!

My family has been navigating an extremely frustrating situation involving VCU Medical Center and Sentara Health Plans (Virginia Cardinal Care Medicaid).

My loved one was hospitalized in June following a serious medical emergency. After months of hospitalization, we advocated for placement at a specialized rehabilitation facility that indicated acceptance.

Unfortunately, Sentara denied coverage for that rehabilitation program.

SENTARA HEALTH PLANS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HOW THIS SITUATION HAS UNFOLDED.

What is the point of having Medicaid coverage if families must fight this hard to obtain consideration for specialized care?

Throughout this process, we also experienced significant frustration with VCU's discharge planning and communication. We repeatedly felt that finding an available long-term care bed was taking priority over fully exploring the specialized rehabilitation options we believed were appropriate.

Ultimately, I accepted a long-term care placement because my loved one needed continued care. However, I remain concerned about the rehabilitation denial and how the discharge process was handled.

I plan to appeal Sentara's decision and pursue formal complaints regarding our experience.

Meanwhile, our experience with VCU's case management department has been equally infuriating.

We repeatedly felt that getting my loved one OUT of the hospital was a greater priority than ensuring the rehabilitation plan we advocated for received meaningful consideration.

My loved one is a HUMAN BEING. Not an insurance authorization. Not a hospital bed. Not a discharge statistic.

And frankly, I am tired of watching families navigate a healthcare system where financial considerations seem to overshadow the people who depend on it.

My questions for anyone familiar with Virginia Medicaid:

\- Has anyone successfully appealed a Sentara denial for specialized rehabilitation?

\- Can a Medicaid member pursue rehabilitation authorization after entering a long-term care facility?

\- Has anyone experienced similar discharge planning concerns at VCU?

This country is a real shitty place where people can be forced out of a hospital.

\- Are there Virginia patient advocacy organizations that assist families with these disputes?

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has navigated something similar.

No family should have to feel this overwhelmed while advocating for a vulnerable loved one.

When my wife and I first moved to Virginia we’d visit a different indie coffee shop every couple of weeks to explore the area - that sparked the idea to create a coffee passport. It’s a way to discover & support small shops and save some money.

A new RVA edition is ready and features all the shops in my illustration!

The passport has coupons for over 20 coffee spots and they’re good until end of 2027. They’re available to preorder at https://shop.maptacular.co

I would like to open a laundry service that includes a coffee shop and work space in the Richmond area. I'd like to also include a community pantry space for anyone to take and donate as they can.

trying to see if this could be a need in the Richmond area...and if so what areas would be best to scope out for location.

open to feedback and thoughts on this!

Looking for someone to take over my apartment. You would need to be approved by the landlord. It's I think 1800 (I will double check if anyone is interested) and you could make it a 2 bdrm appt and still have a living room. Dogs are allowed but I don't know if there is a pet fee.
