The experiment continues
Hello all. John posted on the 7th that he wouldn’t be able to continue and asked for some help. I decided to pitch in and thought it would be nice to tell you a little about myself.
Name: Richard
Age: 40
Occupation: Currently unemployed previously with The Martin Agency as an Account Executive
Random Fact: Have lived in Yellowstone, Glacier, and Zion National Parks.
I have been living in Westover Hills for 6 years with my lovely wife and our 5 year old daughter. We moved down to Richmond from the DC area to escape the traffic and other big city issues. Over the relatively short time I have lived here I have been struck with what a wonderful neighborhood this is but also disheartened to see a good number of young families leave. I would never be called a “glass half full” kind of guy but I believe that the positive aspects of our little piece of Richmond outweigh the shortcomings. For me the mission of Hills and Heights is to bring people together to change negative and celebrate the positive so that maybe a few less of those young families decide to leave.
Thanks for taking on the job, Richard. H&H is a valuable resource; it’s good to see that it’s sticking around!
From the western reaches of H&H, thanks for taking up the banner and hope the new year proves to be an exciting one for everyone!
Thank you for doing this Richard. Hope you’ll be at the post for a long time to come!
What he neglected to mention is that he is a rabid DC United fan, and sometimes wears a Fez. This guy is good people.
From one Richard to another, many thanks for taking this on!
Thanks everyone and if you have an idea or want to contribute please let me know.
Caitlin is absolutely right about me being a rabid DC United fan and the fez. The jury is still out on the “good people” description.
Richard,
Welcome to the community news/neighborhood blog scene. Good luck.
