What can I say...theres a reason my parents moved from Petersburg when I turned 4! Until they start building parts stores, food joints, walmarts, and post offices closer to the county Ive gotta venture into the biggest hell hole in VA as far as Im concerned. They havent met the educational standards VA has implemented in past 8 years, #1 in the state for STDs and teen pregnancy...
Heck even the murders are up there with Richmond and Richmond was in top 5 in the nation like 4 years ago....gettin rough here and it seems everyone just looks the other way...

Oh I do...I wouldnt if I didnt venture to hell everyday...they have surprised me lately in the general assembly here...
They now allow you to conceal carry in state parks and they are even considering letting concealed carry in places that serve alcohol on premises as long as you inform a member of the staff that you have one, which makes no sense to me. Either way its a step Id never thought Id even hear about. Of course you cant drink when you are in there so I dont plan on bringing mine! Smoking ban on the other hand is going to kill business here, especially with Phillip Morris(Altria) HQed here in Richmond...
VA doesnt differentiate between a restaurant and bars so it hurts everyone unless you can fork over the money to have a seperate ventilation system, room, and entrance for people that do or dont smoke...
Sorry for the rant...I know a few local business owners that might go outta business because of that ban...

Tristan, we have had the no smoking ban for a couple years here...I'm sure it hurt business plenty, but it's nice to be able to go bowling again and not come home stinking like an ash tray....
Cris- your very welcome for my attitude, there's no one else I'd rather give it to....

Ironically thats how our local bowling alley was burnt down a few years ago, IIRC. Dang smoking employees! They definitely will be hurting as well...hey what do you know...AMF is another business HQed in Richmond thats gonna get hurt...
Circuit City opened their HQs up over the weekend for people to pick thru all the goodies at there corp offices...a lot of old employees were buying signs and things as memories...thought it was kinda sad.

The smoking ban here in Az hurt the bars a lot, my SIL is a bartender and her tip income has dropped quiet a bit since it took effect. The place she works built a patio so they wouldn't lost their regulars. Now the servers get to serve them and not the bar staff, thats what is hurting my SIL.
On another note she fried the engine in her newly paid off jeep last week and bought a 2007 Ford Edge this weekend! So at least I am not the only Ford in the family now!!
