Belle Isle is such a natural oasis now that it is easy to forget the industry on the island as recently as the 70′s. This latest photo from Vintage Richmond really highlights the change from industry to greenery and dovetails nicely with this Belle Isle photo from 1965. Great work as always from Vintage Richmond.

Henry Reidy is the guy flipping those awesome burgers in that cool little cart at the market. He can be found at the Saturday market, First Fridays and of course our beloved Souther of the James Market, 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. The idea sort of came as a prong off of the [...]
It’s poblanos two ways! Towards the back of the market, there is a small, unassuming set-up manned by a husband and wife who just want to sell fresh vegetables from their garden. I stop by Bill’s Produce every week because their prices are reasonable and I haven’t had a single issue with any of the [...]
Since the two subjects are related you get two posts for the price of one. First up Richmond Tree Stewards are very concerned about the newly planted trees and our lack of appreciable rain. Thus we are at Code Red. It only takes 15 gallons a week to keep your new tree healthy so please [...]
Jon Deutsch caught this photo last night at Forest Hill Ave. and Bliley Road. When we were driving through between 9-9:30 they were still cleaning up. Anybody know anymore?
Technically he is a a coordinator but I think Czar has a much better ring to it. RVA News broke the news in this post. Jakob C. Helmboldt is the name of the coordinator and he has an incredibly easy task. <sarcasm> The City’s new Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Trails Program has the goal of making Richmond [...]
From Richmond Magazine.com; The new claims, made during a sworn pre-trial deposition last week, come days before city lawyers are to return to court, seeking again to end former liasion Jennifer Walle’s civil suit alleging workplace retaliation by Graziano and battery by Hathcock.
We’ve been doing what we can by posting alerts, so its nice to see Richmond.com run an article about the new trees that have been planted. Last year 400 trees were planted and about 18% didn’t make it. This year 2,000 trees were planted to that much more help is needed.
From RTD; No shots were fired and no one was injured in the robbery, which occurred at 2:40 a.m. at the 7-Eleven in the 6800 block of Forest Hill Avenue. Richmond police Capt. David L. Martin said the store’s two clerks on duty told officers that two men with their faces covered came in the [...]
RichmondMagazine.com has the story about Chef Phil Minor’s (formerly of Great Seasons) take over of local breakfast favorite Paradise Diner.

As we start to round the corner of summer, seeing fall on the horizon, we continue to look for relief from this oppressive Virginia heat. For this week’s H&H Happy Hour cocktail we turn to a drink actually created during prohibition. Gin being banned at the time, people would make it in their bathtubs giving it a [...]

Forest View held their first ever National Night Out event on Tuesday and it was quite the success. A meeting date with the Community Cares Official will be forthcoming. A big thank you goes out the Be Sharp Duo for playing great music all night. They were a big hit and helped in making it [...]
From Westover Hills Straywatch we get an odd one; A resident of the 2200 block of Riverside Drive reports that a fluffy, white, tame white rabbit has spent the last three days in his yard. The resident speculates that the rabbit may be someone’s pet. If anyone is missing a pet rabbit or knows of [...]
To say that it has been an up and down year for Patrick Henry would be an understatement. The good news is that the school is still standing but not only that it is taking some great strides forward.
I admire any recycler. Some people have disdain for catching people rooting through dumpsters or “curb alerts.” Not me. I applaud the re-users.
