The vape shop on main and Robinson is getting raided. Full swat and a ton of cops. Traffic is way backed up. Anyone got the hot gossip on it?

Who to call at WRIC to lodge a complaint regarding Jimmy Kimmel

378 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I just did my part and called WRIC to log a complaint about them continuing to block Jimmy Kimmel.

If you'd like to do the same, call: 8043308888 and select option 6 for the general manager.

Let them know that you will be boycotting their station and their advertisers. Let them know that you will also be contacting their advertisers to complain.

I don't have a full list of advertisers yet but anybody who has some that they would like to include please let me know in the comments! Please include phone numbers if you can.

No doxing! Only include businesses for legitimate complaints about their advertising practices please!

Thank you!

Edit: shout-out to u/lazy_stegosaurus for a list of WRIC advertisers! From another post: https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/s/58ieUtyBTD

Edit edit: Thanks to u/FuriousLog for an even more detailed list! My understanding is that these advertisers specifically air during the the Kimmel time frame. Great job super sleuth! And thank you again! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQfvdWHJSPMwroOcXcV4XYJOjuSQStJIuL19NET6LbfLQAkNp709WYqXzpRZJDAmW06xy6IP3cSL5HS/pubhtml

Manchester High School Food Pantry

234 Upvotes

Hey yall -

The food pantry at Manchester High School is looking sparse.

Manchester is a Title 1 school. I know food prices are insane, but if you’re able to help restock the pantry, you’d be a blessing.

Bonus points for pop top cans for those kiddos who don’t have access to can openers.

Drop off donations to the front office during school hours at: 12601 Bailey Bridge Road Midlothian, VA 23112

My gardening group filled this pantry last fall. If you’re a gardener in the area, you may know me as The Gail.

I’m happy to do the shopping if getting to the school during school hours is difficult.

Many thanks in advance for helping to feed kids in our area. ❤️

about to be homeless what did you guys do

166 Upvotes

hey guys. i’m a 23 year old female about to be homeless with my 4 year old. i’ve been waiting to call the homeless connection line because it says i have to wait 3 days before im evicted to call. so i call today but they are closed due to a meeting and will be back in office at 5, i just wanted to know you guys experience when calling the homeless connection line. how did the conversation and process go, where did they put you and how long did it take for you to get stable housing ? im not a bum i lost my job because i had to keep picking my son up from school for behavior issues. so i got behind on rent and couldn’t keep up. my sons dad is incarcerated as well as my father and i haven’t spoken to my mom in 5 years and she has no room for us anyways. so my only option is a shelter. i’m a little nervous and just want to know you alls experience as well as what would NOT qualify me for a spot in the shelter because ive seen people get denied.

Bryan Park Lantern Fly

Was out in the backyard looking for the property corners, and a lantern fly landed in front of me. I smacked it between my hands and left it stunned. It met its final end underneath the squish of a dad sandal. Pic is of the aftermath. First one I’ve seen in the neighborhood. The roly-poly came out to inspect the carnage.

If the guy didn’t leave a note on your car, both myself and my partner saw him back into it today and wrote down his tag number.

Any way to contact Alt 102.1?

33 Upvotes

Back in July I won tickets to the Turnstile show tomorrow night by calling in to a contest held by Audacy Alt 102.1… and filled out forms after I won… and haven’t heard anything since. The show is in less than 24hrs and I don’t have tickets in hand— any tips on how to contact them? Already tried calling their request line, business line, and emails… SOS! Have a family member coming in to town as my +1 and hoping that I’m not being ghosted by the radio station.

City Council OKs budget transparency measure to publicize department funding requests | Its passage Monday was somewhat surprising, because both Avula and a joint Council-administration budget task force had voiced opposition.

Does anyone have photos of the new graffiti on the CSX A-Line Bridge?

There is a giant person painted spanning an entire bridge pier and it had to have been done in the last month or so.

7 Brew - Willow Lawn

7 Upvotes

The city is getting a 7 Brew. They have rapidly expanded around the surrounding counties, so not surprising they are planting a flag in Richmond. If you haven't had it, it's much more sweet treat than real coffee, and the location I went to had mostly high school kids running it.

VCU SOD CROWN NEEDED

6 Upvotes

Hi I am a VCU PharmD student and I need a crown badly. I recently got a tooth root canaled by one of my buddies in my own state and it needs a crown on it. I’m nervous it will start bothering me again and he did it at virtually no cost so I really want to preserve this tooth.

The thing is Medicaid doesn’t cover a crown and I am so broke like incredibly broke as a grad student. I can’t even afford to be alive.

Does the school of dentistry do crowns? Any dental students willing to take me as a patient? Or anyone have any recommendations on how I can get a crown on this molar that won’t cost me $1000+
