There are a few things that need to happen at WBV
1) Eagle and Ryan homes need to include bullet-proof vests in the price of the homes that they are building in WBV.
2) They need to change the name of the development to “Wild-Wild West Broad Village”

or, instead of the above . . .

give D&B the boot. Folks are saying that this is an event that could happen anywhere but really . . . D&B is evidently a late-night sports bar. For crying out loud! Why have it in the middle of an “upscale” neighborhood?

Actually crime in the suburbs is happening at a larger rate and its not just Henrico but Chesterfield and Hanover too. Crime is finally leaving the city and entering the counties. You can’t ever run away from problems and must deal with what goes on.

There are two in long island, NY and the the atmosphere was always fun and enjoyable. Never like this.

We actually left D&B on Saturday night for just this reason. You couldn’t get a table (we waited for 2 hours) and the clientele were acting in an extremely crass manner, to say the least. Kona Grill was wonderful, however!

If you’ve ever been to the D&B in Atlanta, you might be able to make a connection. It starts out as a nice place for regular people to hang out, then eventually becomes just another arcade complete with the slacker/seedy stereotypes. We went to the ATL D&B frequently when it opened, haven’t been in 10 years for this reason. Hope this doesn’t happen to Short Pump.

Things like this are also a reason why I don’t like Dave & Buster’s, and I really wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with this incident.

I have a friend who isn’t such a fan of the new Dave and Buster’s for just this reason. Wonder if D&B was what brought these folks to the parking deck. Given the time of this incident, my assumption would be yes.

Freaky stuff, the WalMart parking lot stuff a month or so back, now this. Short Pump is going to get a bad name if this keeps up.
