DJ Karri worried about social media sensation Alostro after he went Awol
DJ Karri and social media sensation Alostro had a public fallout after his disappearance. During the Covid-19 lockdown Alostro, real name Mohau Louis, gained fame after Karri helped him work through his battle with a nyaope addiction and got him to eventually work at rehabilitation facilities to assist others. But after getting his first pay cheque, Alostro allegedly disappeared and Karri issued a statement in a video saying he was parting ways with him. 'At this point, it's up to him what he (Alostro) wants to do with his life, whether he wants to live with his aunt or come back to me. But as a man he will decide what he wants to do with his life,' Karri said in the video. A source told TshisaLIVE this was not the end of the road for the two. The source revealed Alostro got paid and went back home to his aunt. He was not lost or on the streets but back home. 'He is not lost, Karri would never give up on him, they just have to talk.'

Soft opening: Goldwing in Scott's Addition is a swanky addition to Richmond's cocktail scene
Karri here, still thinking about a fantastic and affordable happy hour I enjoyed at Goldwing, the cocktail and snacks-focused bar that opened last year in Scott's Addition. Why it matters: It's one of just a handful of "no entrees, just drinks" bars in Richmond, and you can usually nab a seat with no wait. State of play: Goldwing opened in October in the long-vacant former Chinatown Bus station at 910 Arthur Ashe Boulevard, adjacent to and from one of the owners of Fighting Fish. The space is heavy on moody, sexy vibes, lounge seating, and Instagrammable corners, amplified by the twice weekly live jazz performances. On the menu: Roughly a dozen craft cocktails ($16 each), wine, beer, and a small snacks and sweets menu, with cheesecake, chocolate salted caramel cake, a spiced nut trio, charcuterie and more. Zoom in: Happy hour is the real star of the show here, offered daily from 5-6pm. I had The Velveteen, a sumac-infused vodka with Velvet Falernum. It's a sumac shrub-and-egg-white cocktail that's a perfect sweet-and-sour blend and is, as the menu promises, "as silky smooth as the name suggests." Like a handful of other cocktails, it's also available as a mocktail. The best part: The cocktail was just $10 at happy hour — and so was the overflowing charcuterie plate, which is a solid, heavy snack. Of note: $10 is the high-end of the happy hour menu (sorry, I'm fancy). Beer, wine, house cocktails and half the snack menu are just $5.

How to adjust your city of Richmond emergency alert settings
Richmond's newly launched emergency alert system seems to be off to an aggressive start. Why it matters: If you're looking to adjust your alert settings, we've got you covered. Catch up quick: Richmond launched its Richmond Ready Alerts on Feb. 3, just a few weeks after the city's week-long water crisis. The new system from third-party vendor Everbridge replaced CodeRed. It allows the city to send out alerts for more types of emergencies, like days-long utility outages and public safety incidents, in addition to severe weather. And the city seems to have embraced the new system, sending out 15 emergency alerts since launch ... 13 of which went out over the weekend, per the ones your Axios Richmond reporters received. Those weekend alerts included one for a storm in Massachusetts and two for Richmond's impending winter weather... at 3:27am on Tuesday. How it works: Weather alerts are automatically generated by the National Weather Service, city spokesperson Julian Walker tells Axios. Public assembly alerts are manually created by city staffers to "inform residents about potential disruptions or safety concerns related to gatherings." Richmond's sent one since launch. If social media is any indication, some locals (and Karri) misunderstood the signup form and accidentally opted-in to getting alerts via text, phone and email... so those 13 alerts came through in triplicate. That includes the two at 3:27am, which came through for some as two texts, two phone calls, and two voicemail alerts. At 3:27am. The fine print: You can edit your notification settings and add do not call/text times. To opt out of calls, texts or emails / or to just be notified one way, delete out all the ways you don't want alerts under "my profile." To add times you don't want to be alerted (like 3:27am!), edit the "my subscriptions" field and pick your do not contact times. Fun fact: More than 2,000 people signed up for the alerts during launch week, Walker says. What's next: If you want to get in on the Richmond Ready Alerts action, sign up by texting RVAREADY to 888-777 or online at Pro tip: Just add one way to contact you on the front end.
