http://www.myvaresources.com/blogs/depotdazed new features. WOW!

The primary reason why I started hosting depotdazed on a private site along with this one is that the private site allows me to add a lot of nice features that cannot be available here. I just added a few new ones:)

You will now find RSS feeds offered by the RichmondSunlight which is a site that tracks legislative activity. At http://www.myvaresources.com/blogs/depotdazed, you can now find 4 new features:

  1. RSS feeds for comments made by citizens on different bills.
  2. RSS feeds containing those bills sponsored by Del. Dave Nutter.
  3. RSS fees containing those bills sponsored by Del. Jim Shuler.
  4. RSS feeds containing those bills sponsored by Sen. Ralph Smith.

One of the first things I noted was as comment: Kathleen SB1065. Following the links on that brought me to where I found that the bill was to prevent Associations from restricting people from saving energy by utilizing wind driven drying devices …..CLOTHESLINES. Del. Nutter voted against the bill, Del. Shuler voted for it.

Home all those Associations feel safe knowing that they will not have to tolerate some neighbor hanging bloomers in their backyards! Oh…my…gawd….this was just too much. I can see I am going to be spending a lot of time looking at what elected officials are doing here.

CHRISTIANSBURG BUS SERVICE!!

Blacksburg Transit in Christiansburg!

On November 23, 2009, Blacksburg Transit will be kicking off its newest feature. Bus service in Christiansburg!

There are a total of 3 new bus services:

  1. THE EXPLORER
  2. THE SHOPPER EXPRESS
  3. THE GO ANYWHERE! CHRISTIANSBURG

The Explorer will run at 15-30 minute intervals in a somewhat circular route covering the main spots that citizens said they wanted to be able to get to in the citizen survey.

The Shopper Express will solve all of those aggrivations you have trying to find mall area parking when you are shopping for the holidays! Park one time, then use the Shopper Express to get to all of the shops and dining options in the area. When you ar done, return to the stop closest to your vehicle, load up and go! (I imagine this is going to help to reduce the number of ‘fender benders’ in those parking lots at peak shopping hours!

The Go Anywhere option provides a great way to get to those doctor’s appointments, luncheon meetings with friends, etc. by simply calling ahead to make arrangements for a bus ride. It will be a great way to get to those special classes at the Recreation Center you have been wanting to go to but did not want to deal with the traffic hassle!

Be sure to come out for the festivities on November 23 and give the new bus service a trial run!
