Happy New Year

Since there are no major celebrations hereabouts, we’re releasing our delegates to Carytown NYE and Petersburg’s Red Light Burlesque celebration. However you choose to celebrate (in our case, an appetizer assortment that puts the crude back in crudité and enough booze to keep Hunter Thompson sated for at least 27 minutes), stay safe and thanks [...]

Public Service Announcement

The fine folks at Once Upon A Vine South have been up and running for a couple weeks in the Stratford Hills Shopping Center, featuring the same format (and occasionally some of the same faces) as the Bellevue original. Please note that H&H is not affiliated with Once Upon A Vine in any way, but [...]

Patrick Henry Charter update

The folks at the Patrick Henry School Initiative are making progress with their efforts…. We have submitted our application for 501-3C status (thank you for your donations!) and are raising funds now for PR “get the word out” costs and other incidentals. We will have a fundraising campaign for school related projects once we have [...]

Email backlog

Hey folks, due to a snafu on the part of my web host, I just received about 3 weeks worth of email this morning. If you sent email via the Contact feature recently and haven’t heard anything, I apologize. I’ll be working through the backlog over the next couple of days. You’re not being ignored, [...]

Rude Awakening

Nothing says “Good Morning!” like the sight of a fire truck, several police cars and a man collapsed on the ground right outside your window at 7AM on a Saturday. What at first appeared to be the after math of a shooting or stabbing turned out not to be. Apparently a very intoxicated individual ran [...]

RPD vs. The Cyclist

Remember the RPD car vs. cyclist incident at our favorite, death-defying intersection? Kristin Stokes took a heck of a hit, resulting in some now-healed brain injuries. As a story in this week’s Style tells us, the city sent her a bill for repairs to the police car, adding insult to her potentially life-threatening injury. In [...]

Mailbox explosions

Today’s T-D is reporting on two mailbox explosions, believed to be caused by homemade explosives, in the Cedarhurst neighborhood. I heard some distant “booms” last night around that time, but chalked it up to the McCrory’s demolition cleanup or general noisiness. Here’s hoping it’s nothing more than bored neighborhood kids.

Ugly morning out there

It seems that this morning’s commute has wrought destruction in the area, with multiple accidents on Forest Hill Ave, including at least 1 overturned vehicle, and other assorted nastiness, including a brief total shutdown of the Huguenot Bridge.

Fire @ Wythe?

We’ve received a couple of reports of an afternoon fire in the Auditorium at George Wythe High. No word as to severity, but if anyone has heard anything…

Police to greet Huguenot students

Huguenot High students will be greeted by Richmond Police tomorrow morning following a series of fights over the past two days. Reportedly a recent talent show sparked the incidents that culminated with one student receiving serious injuries.

On the periphery

Today’s T-D “Street Beat” addresses two issues not quite in our neighborhoods, but close enough to be of interest: road construction at Forest Hill @ Huguenot, and missing Chippenham sings @ Jahnke Rd.
