Y'all!

Once upon a time I ran a news site, now I just have opinions on the news. 

Good Morning, RVA!
My goal is to get you everything you need to know to have intelligent conversations with the folks you encounter throughout the day. Plus, jokes!

Sep 24
Sep 24 Good morning, RVA: 580↘️ • 29↗️; denominators; and protests return

Ross Catrow

I feel the need, the need...to divide numbers so I can have some context for what they actually mean.

Sep 23
Sep 23 Good morning, RVA: 872↘️ • 39↗️; the Affordable Housing Trust Fund; and Movieland potential

Ross Catrow

Calling all Housing Big Brains!

Sep 22
Sep 22 Good morning, RVA: 627↘️ • 6↗️; public schools are complicated; and renaming Route 1

Ross Catrow

I have a lot of empathy for accidentally posting something to the live website instead of the test website.

Sep 21
Sep 21 Good morning, RVA: 856 • 25; all sorts of coronanews; and a poet laureate

Ross Catrow

There's a lot going on, but that's probably even more of a reason to have a public poet.

Sep 18
Sep 18 Good morning, RVA: 1,101↗️ • 36↗️; early voting; and pictures from the 90s

Ross Catrow

With so many options for early voting available, you've really got no excuse.

Sep 17
Sep 17 Good morning, RVA: 845↗️ • 45↗️; mayoral fundraising numbers; and zero-fare buses

Ross Catrow

What's the best adaptive reuse for an old Pizza Hut?

Sep 16
Sep 16 Good morning, RVA: 943↗️ • 96↗️; an Office of Equitable Transit and Mobility; and civilian review boards

Ross Catrow

Why do Pizza Huts look like that anyway?

Sep 15
Sep 15 Good morning, RVA: 757↗️ • 19↘️; a correction; and lots of nerdy urbanism

Ross Catrow

What has two thumbs and fixed a major error in his coronavirus spreadsheet? 👍😬👍

Sep 14
Sep 14 Good morning, RVA: 874↘️ • 2↘️; a big pile of questionnaires; and some sports stuff

Ross Catrow

It's your civic duty to read each and every candidate questionnaire. Sorry!

Sep 11
Sep 11 Good morning, RVA: 1,236↘️ • 11↘️; qualified immunity bill dies again; and GWAR tickets on sale today

Ross Catrow

Today I learned about the puss caterpillar.

Sep 10
Sep 10 Good morning, RVA: 882↘️ • 11↘️; safety on Broad Street; and burritos

Ross Catrow

This fall, I would like to wear an RPS sweatshirt, a Virginia is for Lovers trucker hat, and an RVA mask.

Sep 9
Sep 9 Good morning, RVA: 836↘️ • 2↘️; back to school grace; and the qualified immunity bill lives (again)

Ross Catrow

Did you pick a peck of paw paws yet?

Sep 8
Sep 8 Good morning, RVA: 645↗️ • 6↘️; first day of school; and getting rid of surface parking

Ross Catrow

How good was this past weekend's weather? So good!

Sep 4
Sep 4 Good morning, RVA: 1,126↗️ • 11↗️; bikes & trains; and a long weekend

Ross Catrow

I'm excited to spend the long weekend either watching public meetings or baking cinnamon rolls.

Sep 3
Sep 3 Good morning, RVA: 927 • 29; more on the shameful police violence; and a big, leafy deal

Ross Catrow

Let’s win more grants for more rad projects on the City’s Southside.

Sep 2
Sep 2 Good morning, RVA: 1,021↗️ • 175↗️; violent police; and a resurrected bill

Ross Catrow

The fact that police know they're on camera and yet still behave in the same way should tell us all we need to know.

Sep 1
Sep 1 Good morning, RVA: 847↗️ • 11↗️; a schools map; and grocery-store news

Ross Catrow

I guess I have to go try all of these ice cream sandwich flavors myself. For science.

Aug 31
Aug 31 Good morning, RVA: 938↗️ • 1↗️; election collection; and a brand new sign

Ross Catrow

It's weird and dumb that taxing things to pay for basic services is a wildly progressive candidate platform.

Aug 28
Aug 28 Good morning, RVA: 1,121↗️ • 12↗️; the CVTA meets; and birds are weird

Ross Catrow

What if we just didn't use all of this new regional transportation money to build and widen roads?

Aug 27
Aug 27 Good morning, RVA: 823↘️ • 21↗️; CDC guidance; and sports strikes

Ross Catrow

I would *love* to see the A.P. Hill monument go in the garbage.
