Ohmygod Richmond is finally getting a Savers Thrift

I have literally written to them to open a location in Richmond. Savers is HUGE and open on Sundays! If you have never been, you're in for a treat. Closest location is Woodbridge where they also have a 2nd Ave which is a similar size.

Will note that some people do take issue that they are a for-profit thrift-- I shop at thrifts to save money and keep items out of landfills, and because it's fun, but will mention it.

After 15 years of collecting Pokemon, it became not fun due to current demand so went hard on trinkets.

Found a live crawfish on my bikeride hanging out in a puddle. I live no where near a body of water.

Urban Explorer Youtuber found thousands upon thousands of bottled water in the abandoned BEST headquarters that's been sitting the heat since the water crisis.

Little irritated that our tax dollars paid for this drinking water for it for it to most likely be undrinkable now that it has been sitting in a building with no climate control. Infuriating.

It's not the Putt-Putt Elephant, but I did aquire the original Kings Dominion animatronic Singing Frog that was at the park from 1975-1995

I have always been obsessed with these guys, in fact I painted a mural of them in high school for my senior art project. The current ones at the park are recreations for the 40th Anniversary in 2016. The orginals were given to former employees in the 90s.

I just bought the original animatronic frog that was on display at [Kings Dominion] from 1975 to 1995

If you have been to KD within the past ten years you've seen their Singing Mushrooms and piano frog- those guys are recreations of the original set that debuted with the park in 1975 that were recreated for the 40th Anniversary in 2015.

​

The orginals were removed in 1995. The original mushrooms and frog had been spotted spread across a few different yards nearby the park. The frog hadn't been seen since 2012ish when it disappeared from the yard it was in. Scrolling Marketplace this week this guy was for grabs from some folks who just bought a house and he came with it, concreted into the backyard ground at a different home than he was originally.

​

Very excited to own a piece of my home park's history, I have always been obsessed with these silly guys.
