VUU Frat/Sorority event. They’re usually very well mannered and come by the next day in the afternoon to clean up.

Or they can do 90MPH and see if it only take 45 seconds…

Hahaha, can’t believe we’re proposing some of the most complicated solutions. Hop on 64W and set your cruise control to 60MPH. Watch the mile markers and measure the seconds to go exactly 1 mile. Should be 60 seconds

That is literally what I said but the question was ‘why’

FlightRadar app. Used to be on there

There’s no controversy here, we know what group of people were doing it and it won’t be a thing anymore. Nothing to see here

Yes, they tell us who is doing it.

Actually, it is just them in our coffee shop

We’re done serving them, so won’t be relevant anymore. Put up signage today and all the conversations we had with them went well (most of them conveyed surprise that we’ve let it go this long, thought we would have shut it down 6 months ago. Also not looking to make people more comfortable shooting up in our space.

We have tried, but cannot afford to lose our business over it. My landlord is done with this and cannot have the issues which they bring in.

Maybe once it settles out we can issue gift cards to those whom we know best and have shown respect for the space. If you’d like, you could come in and pick them up for the folks you know.

It’s both. There are people we have known for years and now dozens of new people who are new to us over the last year. Those who have been around a while aren’t the issue, it’s the new people. There are simply too many of them these days for us to get to know them the way we have in the past, and they’re causing way more damage issues than we’ve ever seen.

First, we’re not catering to the unhoused, they are simply part of the community within which we operate. We’re not here to run a needle-exchange.

Regarding ‘knowing’ them, there are too many new faces each day of late. We’ve never seen this many unhoused people. From what they tell us, Richmond is a destination for them because rural municipalities ship them here, knowing there are more resources for them. They also independently seek Richmond out for the same reasons.

Uuhh, I don’t expect them to read this (but they do have phones). The decision is made, the change takes place immediately. Just pissed that some in this community would ruin it when we’ve been able to make this work for the last 8 years.
