Dedicated GF and DF bakery in Midlo I’ve been following forever is run by a woman who seems to be having some kind of mental break honestly. She’s claiming her employees are trying to purposefully sicken her, put nails in her tires, that doctors are discriminating against her for being queer phobic, that a hotel pumped a poisonous substance into the air of her room (????) all because she has “differing views”.

She’s always been very vocal (too vocal for a professional page imo but whatever) about being anti-Trump and pro-masking so this just feels like a wild left turn.

Anyway, if anyone else liked her bakery items, maybe steer clear until she gets help or she goes out of business for alienating a bunch of people.

Found this sweet angel on my morning walk in Union Hill! Anyone have any idea who she might belong too?

Hello! This sweet angel girl was found on Chevelle Road in North Chesterfield at about 3 pm today. Just walking down the road, collar on but NO tags. If you recognize her, or if you have suggestions on where to post about her to get the word out please let me know.

She’s healthy and clearly so loved, want to make sure we get her back home asap!

Got woken up by the thunder! Spooky!!!

My husband saw him a couple hours ago and just followed him until the cops came. He's finally been arrested!

Hello everyone!
Posting this for my uncle and aunt.
They had found a beautiful husky in their area wandering around Kemp st & Carlisle Ave last night.
The husky has a black collar with no information nor is microchip as well :(. Hoping someone knows the owner or has seen a similar dog in their area.
Thank you!!

Hi gang,

Found this very big and well behaved boy this morning trotting up Chevelle Drive in North Chesterfield. I put him in our fenced backyard and got him food and water.

We can't bring him inside, so I'll probably try to get him to the county animal shelter this evening. Made a post on Nextdoor and now here.

Open to ideas on what to do next. Luckily I was able to pivot and work from home today.

EDIT - The dog has been picked up by Chesterfield county animal services. He did not have a microchip. They will check their lost dog reports and hang onto him for a few days and if nobody comes forward they will work with local rescues.

Fully embracing white boy whimsy. I found a crawdad yesterday in a creek after the rain, but no frogs. I’ve never caught a frog as a kid and I would like to. I would ideally like to stay near chimbo park, but willing to travel. Many thanks.

Note to add the owner was extremely helpful and responded right away when I called the number, he also came directly to the location to assist and provide the videos, thank you Al for being there in such a traumatic situation.

I'll be moving to Grace St. between Ryland and Lombardy next month and had been operating under the assumption that I would be able to purchase a Fan parking permit. However, after checking the city website today, I realized my block is excluded from eligibility.

For those who have experience living in that area as a car owner, what did you do? I believe that block isn't technically 1 hour parking, but it's typically full up so I'd likely have to park on a different block where it is restricted 1 hour parking...but I can't get a permit to park there.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you for everyone's insights. I have been scared into overpaying for a parking garage.

Helpful info:

- 410 Stuart Circle Garage is still $100/month (as of 7/22/2026) which is expensive and insane, but cheaper than being towed.

- Street sweeping schedules are available on the city website, you don't have to rely only on shitty, often inadequate signage.

Hey everyone!

There's a free show happening tonight with folk-rock band The Potted Plants at Plan 9 Music from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

The band's bio sums up most of what you need to know about them: The Potted Plants fuse whimsy and eccentricity. They write music that makes you think, but not too much. The kind of music that leaves you wondering “Who hurt you?” but also giggling a little like “Nice, at least you made something fun with that.”

For what else you need to know: this band is amazing. Tons of talent that make great melodies, memorable lyrics, and fun grooves. Every song is like an idiosyncratic wonderland of character with chaotic charm (charming chaos?) around every corner. Even if you can't make it out tonight, you should be listening to this band. (But you should really make it out tonight.)

This performance is part of a monthly in-store series at Plan 9 Music in Carytown curated by The Auricular. Music kicks off at 7 PM and typically wraps by 7:30 PM so it's an easy way to start your night or a fun wind down after dinner, depending on your mood. The goal of these shows is to spotlight the amazing local talent right here in our city. They started at the beginning of 2024 and have included singer-songwriters like Deau Eyes, Jonathan Paige Brown Jr., Erin Lunsford, Sravani Kameswari, and Tyler Meacham as well as bands like Rikki Rakki, Human Worm, Flora & The Fauna, Deathcat, and White Beast. Consider it an easy entry point into the local music community. A series that keeps you connected to what's happening right here in town.

Hope to see some of you there!

Update! picked some up at New Grand! Thanks everyone

I've got a kid who is sensitive to chicken eggs, and i hear duck eggs are better tolerated. Anyone know where i can find any without driving all over town?

I’ve created a new immersive creative experience here in Richmond that combines history, folklore, mad science and art making. Everyone that has participated in the experience has absolutely loved it. I’d love to get a little local press on it.

My favorite app to let me know how close the lightning strike is. This is a screen shot a few minutes ago of RVA.

Sorry about misspelling the title!

I’ve heard rumors that this month a renovation would happen to the Holly Street Playground in Oregon Hill. does anyone know where to find updates on if it has started and when it will finish?

Haven’t found anything from local news sources. It is the closest playground to where we live, but is out of the way to get to. Hoping someone has a link to where to find updates or lives in the neighborhood and just knows what to expect.
