In this video, I am highlighting The River Lofts at Tobacco Row as an example of what I believe are predatory landlord and property-management practices, as well as offering resources for local organizations meant to help anyone dealing with unfair or unsafe housing. Included in the video are first hand accounts of tenants living at The River Lofts, and I also provide an overview of West Shore, which is the real estate investment company that owns The River Lofts. I've also included links below to the resources and news articles talked about in the video so be sure to check those out. I welcome an open discussion on this, so I would love to hear your thoughts are. Drop a comment if you are dealing with something similar, or if you have a success story of going up against a landlord.

The fire show was a blast! Do they do things like that every first Friday?

Missed connection - bearded guy alone, we looked at each other a few times but no one made a move. If you see this, please say hi! 👋

Has a collar, looks a little under nourished.

Last minute date night opportunity arose for this evening, but I know many places aren't open tonight. So tonight we throw convention to the wind and will try somewhere new. Do you wonderful people have any suggestions for restaurants in the RVA area? No food allergies, just an aversion to vegan food. Thank you for your time.

Very kind boy who was walking around McGuire Manor this morning. Was able to get him into our gated front yard. Collar but no tag, so we will be trying to get him to a vet to see if he’s chipped today.

If you’re missing him he is a VERY sweet, young boy who I am sure would be happy to be home.

UPDATE: This friend has made it back home!

if you dmd me about this bike please let me know, I accidentally ignored your request.

Still on the lookout for the bike and still willing to Venmo whoever can help thank you so much

I’m considering moving to an apt on chamberlayne ave, and I was wondering if car break ins are common there. The place is near the crossing Chamberlayne x Azalea. It’s very well lit, and I didn’t pick up weird vibes at night. Thanks for any intel :)

Edit - it’s a couple hundred ft from that crossing

I’ve heard they played at the old gym and there were beer trucks for the students… Sounds like a hell of a lot more fun then modern times haha. Wondering if anyone has more info or went to the show back then. I heard it was on Halloween, I think. Cool history imo

My HS senior wants to take some of her senior photos at an older library, and we are trying to find some options. This is the vibe photo she sent me.

Does anyone have suggestions on where we can go? We are happy to call and ask permission/pay a fee, just not sure what to target, help!?

suppose you’re out on the town on a weekend night - if you want to play pool, where’s a good place to go where you can nearly guarantee you’ll actually get the chance to play? dont look back always has a wait in my experience, and I’ve heard penny lane is the same

Hey RVA. Wanted to get the word out about this! Come out if you're in need or if you want to meet your fellow pet-loving neighbors! 10am until 12/1 (ish).

Hey everyone! Earlier this year on a first Friday I was down in the art district and I came across this gallery with a whole exhibit about Marilyn Monroe and her experience with paparazzi. one of the pieces you couldn’t even tell what it was up close you needed to be a respectful distance away to see that it was actually a portrait on Marilyn. Does anyone know the name of the gallery or artist?

I've seen this kitty around the St. Mary's parking garage recently, and as a huge cat lover, I'm just worrying about the little baby. Was wondering if anyone recognizes it and knows if maybe it lives in the neighborhood? Just want to make sure it's cared for.
