Traffic circle complaint


Any story on traffic circles tend to be instant conversation starters. I’ve gone on record as stating that I’m a supporter of traffic circles but might be in the minority. Read most of the comments in these stories to see where a good chunk of the readers (or at least those that comment) stand, hint – they’re not fans. A resident has some concerns and wanted to share them with the community. Read more

Take a hike with RichmondOutside


I’ve mentioned RichmondOutside in passing before but now there is another reason to put the blog on your daily radar. As you can guess from the name RichmondOutside covers all that happens outside your four walls. The brains behind this endeavour are Phil Riggan formerly of James River News Hub fame and currently at Richmond.com and Andy Thompson RTD columnist and Woodland Heights neighbor. Today they announced a new member to their crew, Matt Perry owner/operator of Stratford Hills basedRiverside Outfitters. It is worth mentioning that none of the folks working on this are giving up their day jobs and RichmondOutside isn’t associated with Richmond.com or RTD. Matt is kicking off his new gig with a post giving the details on taking a nice winter hike. Give it a read and head outside, the weather is suppose to be in the 60′s this weekend.

In case you’re out of the loop Camden’s Dogtown Market is open and running and now even has dinner. Camden Dogtown Market which is calling itself a “Mediterranean influenced, from scratch prepared foods and local, small gourmet market” replaces Ejay Rin which took over from Savor/Lunch Porter in Manchester. Thanks to the Tweeting of Matt Sadler aka @themarinara I found out that the dinner menu was published today on the Dogtown Market Facebook. A small taste of the menu and a mini-review are below.

Crosswalk broken button update

I’ve heard that one of the new crosswalks on Forest Hill Ave doesn’t work. Well luckily we received an update from Kathy Graziano’s office last week and I forgot to post it. Currently the City is waiting on the parts to be shipped for installation to correct the problem. As of Friday, Jan 20th 43rd St is still operating fine. However, 41st St push buttons will remain covered until the parts are installed. The installation shall be completed no later than Feb 10. Which is kind of funny since it was the light on 43rd that got wiped out by a car.
