I went there last summer and there was a surprising number of police — there seemed to be over a dozen: Out front. In the lobby. Before going down either wing to get to your theater. In the halls outside the theaters.

I asked one why they were all there. Kids causing trouble was the gist of it. This was around the time of the “Minions: Rise of Gru” memes, so I thought it was related. Maybe not so much.

I lived there 2014-2018. It’s not a new thing.

It’s been a couple of years, but the VCU Cary St gym had a much better pool than the YMCA on Franklin (if those are the ones you’re talking about). I joined for the swimming, as well. I think Cary St occasionally had some classes that took up a majority of the lanes, but the YMCA gym had a smaller pool.

I’m not sure if membership to the VCU gym is limited to students and faculty.

You should check them out, though. My preference was for Cary St.

Didn’t think about that. Thanks!

I’ve never thought of using a blue mailbox — I just use my home. I’m not sure how big of a difference that would make in USPS processing. Taking over a week to get a state we’re bordering doesn’t seem like something USPS would do with regular mail.

I do add my account number every time. How legible I’m writing it is always questionable.

Thanks. That’s good to know. It’s more of the principal of them charging me a late fee when I mail my payment 2 weeks before it is due.

Probably acorns
