Water? Like from out of a toilet?

Reply to Fluoride water causing stomach issues by [deleted]
I don't think fluoride would be a cause of this, but make sure to check your home for mold. You wouldn't think it, but mold spores in the air can cause pretty severe gastrointestinal problems.
I used to live in a pretty dusty and humid older house, so naturally mold was a constant issue. Upon moving out a year ago, ALL of my problems disappeared. It was pretty shocking.

Creating raised pedestrian crosswalks around campus would have the benefit of slowing cars down while also making pedestrians more visible. Some flashing pedestrian lights are sorely needed around VCU. Narrowing Cary and Main's lanes by painting a bike lane doesn't seem a bad idea either, and would be pretty cheap (narrower lanes promote cars to slow down).
That being said, I drive around downtown a LOT as an Uber and have witnessed students walking or running directly into the street without looking, not using a crosswalk, having their earphones in, checking their phones, etc. I'm not blaming anyone here, but it seems to me that there's a bad mix of improper pedestrian safety measures by the city AND a college campus that brings in a large amount of students from NOVA's sprawling suburbs who just don't have the experience of living in an urban/pedestrian environment. It isn't anyone's "fault" necessarily, it's American car culture rearing its ugly head.
During my VCU orientation there was nothing said about getting around campus safely, which I found odd. It wouldn't be the worst idea to have a mandatory orientation on what it means to be a pedestrian on campus.

Galley and Natalie's don't take much parking.
Rock Falls during a blind draw night? That could be a real issue.

Reply to RVA Chipotle’s are the WORST by CoffeeFiendd
Chipotle is such a joke these days. I've made the switch to Moe's. You get way more food for much less. Free chips too!
