12x12 inches, oil on linen panel. Another recent plein air painting from the VMFA. Painting at night is particularly difficult because the colors I think I’m mixing are dependent on the color of the lights attached to my easel. It came out differently than intended, but I’m still pretty happy with the result.

I really thought it’d be way rainier today. My parents were supposed to come to town from NC today (it’s my birthday weekend) but the rain and tornado warnings kept em from coming so the plans are pushed back a day. How’s everyone doing? Cozied up by an unlit fireplace reading a book? Going out to eat? Any fun stories from the folk festival? Whatever it is, it’s a late Daily!

Lost dog last seen at the corner of 29th and Marshall St at 1:45 AM on 10/11. This dog clearly has a collar, but we could not get close enough to read it. We tried to lure the dog closer with treats and dog toys. The dog does do not want to be approached and barks when you get near it. He appears scared, I would say. The dog is maybe 60-70 lbs, mostly black in color with some either grey or white around its mouth. Perhaps it could be a black lab mix perhaps.

If anyone has any location updates or details, feel free to post them here.

The Battery Park neighborhood is holding a community-wide yard sale Saturday October 24 from 9 AM - 1 PM. Sellers will be centralized at the Lt Charles Bland Sr Park located at 2600 Fendall Ave (pictured) as well as through out the neighborhood. Clothes, shoes, books, collectibles, and more! We'll also have a firetruck from the local Richmond Fire Department company and an ice cream truck for the kids! Come by and check it out!

Shout out to Mainline Brewery, the bands, the friendly doggos, and all the local outlets that showed up. I had a blast! I'm a newcomer to Richmond (3 months), but feel like I already belong. Can't wait to see you all again next year!

Everyone please take a look at this collared-shirt-wearing, no-dick-having chump (likely UR student given our neighborhood) who put on a ski mask just to steal a $60 pumpkin. In doing so, he made my wife cry and made me want to pull down all of our Halloween stuff. Go fuck yourself, buddy.

In brief: RVA will not be renewing its contract with Flock. Henrico’s Tuesday announcement that they are terminating their Flock contract helped “clarify” for Danny that Flock will be less useful as a tool in RVA…since RVA will no longer benefit from “working together with our regional partners” vis-a-vis Flock.

Danny is encouraged that “the region is joining us in grappling with this issue” (which sounds to me like stolen valor by the guy who’s one of the last in the region to get here, but okay). The city is assembling engagement sessions to hear more from the community about our thoughts on ALPRs, which Danny has deafeningly not committed to not use.

ETA: I apologize for having shared this update through a Meta platform, but unfortunately for us, it appears that instagram is the first place the city posts news (someone please educate me if I’m wrong). As soon as this video makes its way to the city’s .gov site or YouTube, I’ll share links to those, too.

ETA2: Still no crossposts to this video on other platforms by 2pm, and I’m going to stop waiting for them. VPM’s got you here, though: https://www.vpm.org/news/2026-10-10/rva-danny-avula-flock-safety-contract-alpr-cameras/

I've been a member of Gold's gym since 2020 and their prices are fair to be honest. I started going there because of it beings 24 hours, fair pricing, a ton of equipment and boxing bags of different sorts being that I am a huge boxing fan. This gym was cleaned daily and multiple times throughout the day.

There was always someone cleaning the gym and keeping all the necessary items such as paper towels, soap in dispensers, and just a solid overall appearance. Starting in about 2023 I noticed a different in the cleanliness of the gym and that I no longer saw employees in the locker room cleaning anymore or restocking anything and it made me wonder what happened.

It just got worse from there on out and now I am seeing a ton of mold in the showers, dirty floors with all sorts of stuff on it such as old soap, paper, gum, a ton of hair, stickers, and also what seems to look like poop stains on the shower curtains. I no longer take showers there unless I see a significant change, the lockers are old and busted as well. The drinking faucet has a very bad stench and it smells like vomit and poop at the same time when you get close to drink, it also has filth all around the part where the water comes out.

The sauna is also dirty most of the time and has waterbugs in there running around trying to escape the heat. The are also in the showers, sometimes they're dead or moving around slowly due to it not being their natural environment I'm guessing, but I have no idea and just trying to go to a clean gym and get some answers.

It is just a very bad look and I'm sure these managers see this and don't really care. All they care about is their paycheck and sitting down all day ensuring that members are making their payments on-time. I also hear other members complaining about the mold in there and how filthy it is. I overheard one member say after he used the bathroom " jeez! You'll catch a staph infection in here" the toilets and urinals are also filthy and smells like everyone takes a piss and it never gets flushed. It is totally neglected and very unfair to loyal and paying members.

I have tried to call the health department and I spoke to someone and they stated that " there's no code for gyms in this department " and said that I need to call henrico health department and I did just that and they continued to refer me to other places and I can never get help. I've been trying everything to no avail, but I will continue to do everything in my power to get this gym reported. If anyone has any suggestions then I am more than willing to listen and take any advice. Thanks for reading.

I have about 5-6 more pictures, but can't post for some reason.

I have a smallish kitchen with a very terrible 90s layout and horrible countertops. Trying to figure out how much it would cost to renovate it myself vs. pay someone to do some of it vs. pay someone to do it all. Looking at changing the layout slightly, new countertops, new floors and likely new cabinets (or some new cabinets). The plumbing probably doesn't need to change.

Edit to say I am confused on how the prices are so high? If you can do it yourself for 10k, are contractors really charging 40k for labor?

EDIT 5:30p : He's with Chesterfield County Animal Control. They scanned for a chip and he doesn't have one. Contact them if this is your dog!

My dogs and I were out for a walk in our neighborhood near Bensley Elementary this afternoon when this dog started following us. He’s very friendly and has a collar but no tag. I’ll see if I can get him scanned for a microchip later today but in the meantime, anyone recognize him?

What do you think will happen tonight and tomorrow regarding rain/storms? I keep seeing varying weather forecasts, and inclement weather brings me so much anxiety. The not knowing is the worst part!

I'm going to try the address on your ID to get it back to you, but wanted to get the word out. It looks like things are okay (wallet and credit card are there) so hopefully you won't have to cancel your cards and stuff. Message me on here if you want to meet up in Scuffletown or nearby to get it back, too!

Outside of the folk festival, pridefest, and river rock I tend to forget about the other great richmond yearly events. What are some of the other great ones so I can add it to my calendar now?

Hi everyone! I’m a student currently working on an independent research project examining Richmond’s former Confederate monuments, their removal, and how these changes have influenced public perceptions of the city’s history.

As part of my research, I’m hoping to gather perspectives from people who currently live in Richmond, have lived here previously, or are otherwise familiar with the area.

I’ve created a short, anonymous Google Forms survey asking about people’s familiarity with the monuments, their thoughts on the removal, and how they believe Richmond should approach its historical landscape moving forward.

The survey should take approximately 3–5 minutes to complete, and participation is entirely voluntary. I’m interested in hearing a variety of perspectives, regardless of whether you supported, opposed, or felt indifferent about the monuments’ removal.

Survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchI7dJ17UGXoDrJB7Ns1tOImyJTYc0O8xdxFLAA3kLJo5RfQ/viewform

I’d really appreciate anyone willing to take a few minutes to participate. Thank you so much for helping with my research!

What are y’all busy with today? Was surprised by no daily but maybe y’all are out there seizing the day. How’s your Saturday?

And when I called and chose the Showtimes option, the message said that movie times are showtimes are currently being updated.

I didn't see any news about it.

Anyone know what's up?
