No algorithms. No content filters. No A.I. — Honest and insightful analysis from Richmond, VA.

Today check out our stories on:

  • The latest infuriating story about City Hall still going after small restaurants, this time for $19,000 in made up back taxes long after the “leaders” promised it would all be fixed by now.

  • Just when you thought it was safe to wade back into the cesspool of corruption, the Times-Dispatch reveals a scandal hitting the public cash register for more than $345,000.

  • An interview with PodVirginia about the landscape of the Richmond mayor’s race as we transition from the lazy days of summer to the soon-to-be crazy days of campaigning about who will lead the city into the future (and can hopefully fix the mess being left behind…)


Today’s edition is a free version for all readers, but please consider supporting local journalism for just $5 a month! Way less than Netflix or a big, fancy coffee, and we offer better programming and much more caffeine.
