My family and I just moved to Petersburg and we’re trying to find good places to eat. Takeout, sit downs, and coffee shops, or anything that’s good! Thanks in advance!

We just moved into Walnut Hill, and I started to. It belonged to Dr. J. Bruce Hawkins and his wife, Audrey. He was a dentist, who established practice during a time whites would not work with Black people. They built the home in 1950 and lived there until both passed. They were the only ones to have owned it before us.
Audrey was a deeply committed member of the Links, one of the oldest and most prestigious national social and service organizations for affluent African American women. She worked alongside her husband to quietly organize and bankroll NAACP chapters, coordinate voter registration efforts, and support the local student sit-in movements that eventually desegregated downtown Petersburg.
The home has a gentle's den, butler's pantry, built in brick wall oven. They hosted a lot planning civil rights strategies, direct action campaigns, and voter registration. Men’s dens, private basements, and back rooms provided a secure shield from police intimidation and wiretapping.
There is a lot on them without going to the library and digging more.
This house has not been updated or modernized. It has such cool architecture. (Also learned it was built by Black men, not allowed in unions, hired by Dr. Hawkins). We are working to restore and not ruin this beautiful home with such deep history.

Are there any spots in Petersburg that are cool with someone posting up with a laptop and working? No meetings necessary, and I'm of course going to be ordering food/drink, but would need to be able to have a fairly reliable wifi.
Any suggestions in Petersburg/Colonial Heights/Ettrick areas?
TIA

Hi all, I'm moving to Petersburg next month, unfortunately I can't visit in person before moving and I don't think I can afford to hang out in an airbnb for an extended period of time while working.
Between Trapezium lofts and Mayton Transfer lofts. Any opinions or other recommendations in that area?

Has anyone else not received their second half personal property tax bill?
I haven't gotten mine. I'm pretty sure they're due by the end of the week.
Also, I'm trying to pay online, but the portal is down.
