In response to "Galaxy Girl Comes Down to Earth"

 

Janet totally rocks! She's not only a DJ, but the captain of a spaceship-- that should tell you something -- she's outta this world.

-- Dj carlito

 

Damnit Janet. It's about time that I visit your planet. You're welcome on The British Breakfast anytime!

-- Gene

 

I HEART GALAXY GIRL RADIO! I listen to her show via podcast, as I live far, far away in North Dakota. Brilliant radio!

-- Elli

 

You are a DJ Extraordinaire Janet! I subscribe to your podcasts via iTunes ... this is what will keep radio alive. Rock on music guru!
-- Pam

 

Aw shucks you guys. I'm glad you enjoy the show!

In response to "Why Richmond, Why?!??"

 

Various versions of the "Richmond Storm Door" can also be found at the Richmond institution, Siewers Lumber and Millwork. They are over near the diamond, and if you happen to be also looking for a replacement for that molding that your puppy chewed up in your old house, this is the place to start looking.

Why the mention of "adults-only" in the Dave & Buster's answer. I thought it's a family place.

In response to "A Taste of Europe in the Bottom?"

 

I love Cafe Gutenberg, but during my last few visits I have felt rushed and unwelcome. Their disdain for being called a "coffee ship" is clear -- they do not seem to warmly receive those patrons who are more interested in lingering over the paper and coffee than a full blown meal. I understand servers earn most of their income on tips (and thus turning tables) but I think Gutenberg will push away its most loyal customer base if it discourages the lingering, conversing, pondering or studying patrons. (PS for the record, the food here is absolutely delicious should you be in the market for that full blown meal!)

Great food, pathetically slow service, even when the place is nearly empty. Over a half an hour to get a sandwich, with only two other tables occupied.

In response to "It Was a Cool Idea, But… "

 

They shouldn't have wasted so much money advertising last summer and fall when they couldn't get the place open on time. I won't miss it.

That club failed for one reason ... the management. The pre planning was poor at best ... employees has to wait weeks for jobs they were previously hired for ... bouncers and other employees who answered ads would stop in to drop off resumes and would not be met by manager but actually have to use the receptionist to relay messages back and forth from the managers while standing at the front door … the tragedy is that Richmond is full of people in management positions with the people skills of a brick.

-- Bad management
