The title line pretty much says it all. Since it is a new group there is no activity yet but it appears to be brand spanking new so that is expected. I found out about it here and the direct link to the Facebook page is here.
The walls seperating the expansion from the current dining area are down so you can see into the new area. I didn’t have a camera so you will have to check it out yourself. A good amount of work remains to be done but what I can see looks great. The new taps are up, [...]
According to an email from Larry Miller of the Richmond Parks and Recreation Department the long awaited work to restore Forest Hill Park should begin mid to late March. Pre-construction meetings will be occurring over the next few weeks and in a perfect world we should all be enjoying a restored Forest Hill Park lake [...]
Richmond Public Schools are starting 2 hours late tomorrow. Which seems to be about the norm, check here for your school. I am beginning to think the school systems are in cahoots with the cartoon and video game industry. At this point our child is one step away from drooling and I am pretty sure [...]
First it was Positive Vibe and now its Paradise Diner’s turn to get a little love from Style Weekly. I live close to the Paradise Diner in the Stratford Hills Shopping Center, and I find myself eating there often, not because of its proximity, but rather because the food is fresh, delicious and reminiscent of [...]
You should never need a reason to visit Artspace but I will give you two. The first reason is the show is by local artist Dan Mouer, resident of Woodland Heights and it is important to support your local artist. The second reason is the photos include local haunts Crossroads and the now shuttered Ms. [...]

Good news for kids – not such good news for working parents scrambling for daycare or suffering from “quality time” overload. Full list here.
Thanks to Jonathan Mallard for pointing this out. According to Forbes we come in at #10. In the 5 years I have lived here my longest commute is 10 minutes and the only problem I have ever encountered was a wreck on the downtown expressway. Judged against other cities with more than 500,000 workers, Richmond [...]

I didn’t make it over to the park but go here to see some pictures of folks enjoying the hill aspect of Forest Hill Park.
Guess what kids? You get to benefit from a fourth straight day of quality time with your all knowing parents……..or all knowing TV. Richmond Public Schools and nearly every other school in the area are closed tomorrow according to Channel 8. It does appear that some day-care facilities will be open. Check that link but [...]
Are your walls as white as the snow outside? The are several ways to fix this problem but one way to do this without breaking the bank is to visit smArt Gallery.

From the RTD: Huguenot High School junior Calvin Walker wants to be a prosecutor, so he’s trying to learn as much as he can about how local law enforcement works. Walker is one of 20 [...]
It is official, no school for Richmond Public School students and from the look of it, pretty much every school is closed. If you want to check for a specific school go here. Enjoy your day off kids, someday you might be a bitter adult who has to go to work no matter the weather.
Mother Nature is apparently a petty and vengeful lady. If you are enjoying this snow you can thank me for my sarcastic snow post. If you are not enjoying the snow, all I can do is offer my apologies. In partnership with some other neighborhood blogs including Oregon Hill and Church Hill People News (the [...]
Every Thursday the folks driving the initiative to open the Patrick Henry School hold a meeting. The first Thursday of each month the meeting has more of an “Open House” agenda.
