Tomorrow's Victorian Day parade festivities start at 10am (parade at 11am). Bon Air Christian Church is probably the spot to enter into GPS although traffic will be "complicated" on Buford Road. #BonAirVA #RVA
Larus Park on the other side of the highway has houses coming in beside it #rva #bonairva
Ok, funny story... Went to Perk cafe today in #BonAirVA ... Saw this #art display on the wall by a local artist ... Lol'd at #dollyParton piece, that I think that was unintentional (there was probably a floral painted record there at some point, but like trying to interpret a banana duct taped to the wall, I stared at this mundane fixture and tried to envision how it might represent Dolly Parton...) #thinkAboutIt
@murden I feel like ideal route to #BonAirVA is biking from Nickel Bridge to Veil II complex and then along Jahnke Road ... You are fine until you get to Chippenham Parkway. My ideas are (1) some sort of cut-through from Boulders Drive to Rock Creek Lake which might involve the woods (2) risking it across the ChickenHam Pkwy overpass and darting into the Brown Road neighborhood area and cutting through to Buford at the Unity Church trail.
@rvajay nice! I definitely will. I think I saw an article a couple years back about your group. There was a whole thing about the Highland Hills development in #BonAirVA being a #paragon of MCM style in the area.

Bon Air’s Highland Hills is an architectural treasure trove.

As an analogy of #rva to #washingtonDC, #BonAirVA is #fallschurch, while #midlothian is the #fairfax / #fairfaxcounty ... And #shortpump is #bethesda / #rockvillemd ... There is some dysfunction between these somewhat overlapping municipalities. #chesterfieldCounty and #henrico and Richmond city proper are all part of greater #rva like the #dmv is one place or several depending on how you look at it.
One thing I appreciate about #mastodon is the ability to post multiple images. Here are a bunch of #virginia #maps from a roadside #restStop showing #rva and #washingtondc as part of the #dmv along #i95 ... Note that #BonAirVA is on south side of the #jamesRiver
BREAKING NEWS OF #BonAirVA : New Thrift Store To Take the Place of the Old One. The Treasury consignment store closed last month across the street from the Buford Road pharmacy, and today I saw that the Society of St. Vincent De Paul just put their #comingSoon sign up in the window. #rva #StVincent #thriftstore
