Watch out for clowns at South Richmond stoplights
Richmond is Richmond'ing.The big picture: A TikTok last week captioned "POV: You are driving through RVA" shows clowns — yes, actual clowns — juggling at the intersection of Hull Street and Warwick Road in South Richmond while the light is red.Then the camera pans to a clown who has decided to play peek-a-boo outside the car's right window and (probably) scare the 96,000-plus people who've viewed the video.Karri's thought bubble: As a Southside dweller, this 100% tracks. Pop-up parking lot carnivals, major roadways closed in all directions for months, impassioned protests over gas stations ... and, sure, clowns and jugglers in the middle of the road.
