Reply to Cheapish sit-down restaurant downtown? by Helloooo_ooooo_

I work and live downtown and there are plenty of options for <$20 a plate dinner: Capital Ale House, Chicano's Cocina, Casa Fiesta, Mom's Siam, Sine (I think their food is highly underrated due to their rep as a bros-getting-hammered bar), Wong Gonzales (highly recommend the bowls/pots which come in at right under $20).

Reply to comment by Medical-Layer9002 in is there a gas station as chaotic as Wawa on A.A Blvd? by panopticon31

I used to live down Brook in Bellevue and can confirm that this Wawa makes the Boulevard one look like a gallery opening at The Met. I've been there when you had to get an employee to unlock the beer cave for you, been accosted in the parking lot for having no cash to give away, and have def waited over 20m for a sandwich before.

Reply to Amtrak to Woodbridge by Cheap-Ad7916

I've done RVA to DC on Amtrak three times this month and all have been on-time, FWIW. Not saying that's always the case, but good to know they do get it right a lot of times :)

Reply to If you buy a ticket in person at the Altria Theater Box Office, do they charge the same heinous "ticket fee" that they do online at etix? by klm2978

Definitely buy your tickets at the box office (around the corner from the main entrance on W. Main). I was getting four tickets to My Fair Lady in the first balcony and they were coming out to about $400-450 online. Went to the box office and it was about $200 (not exaggerating). If you look closely on the ticketing website, there's a small disclaimer that says they are a 3rd party seller and prices may not reflect the actual ticket price. Such a scam.

I think the box office is open around lunchtime most weekdays - you could call in advance to check.
