Two new Pescados reviews-

From Blog Richmond, Va.:

Pescados China Street is Fresh and Fabulous

From Historic Richmond Inns:

Pescados China Street Bistro

From Art 180:

Whatcha doing to celebrate your sweetie–or yourself–next week? You don’t really want to dine at an overcrowded restaurant Tuesday night, now do you?? How about celebrating with ART 180 a day early, on Monday, the 13th? Pescados China Street (that’s the Oregon Hill location) is showing a little love themselves and donating a percentage of sales to ART 180, a local non profit that provides after-school programs in creative expression to children living in challenging circumstances, giving them a voice through art! So grab a couple of coworkers or guy/gal pals for a lovely lunch, or take your honey or your best friend or your buddy to dinner. You’ll surely enjoy Pescados’ creative, seafood-oriented mix of Caribbean and Latin flavors, with fish that arrive daily. ART 180 will receive part of the proceeds from lunch, dinner, and even gift certificate or T-shirt purchases.

If you just can’t make it this Monday, you’ll have a second chance on February 27. That’s right, Pescados’ heart is double-wide, and they’re hosting TWO charity nights for ART 180. So show them, and yourself, a little love by eating and drinking to your heart’s content. Stop by 626 China Street for lunch 11:30-2 or dinner 5-10 p.m. Visit their website to preview the menu, but make sure to check out the specials when you’re there.

From police accident report:

Richmond Police Department
E-mail Advisory 2/10/12
Three Vehicle Collision

A three vehicle collision occurred on the Downtown Expressway this afternoon, resulting in one fatality.

At approximately 4:15 p.m., just east of the Belvidere Street overpass, a vehicle traveling eastbound crossed the grassy median and entered the westbound traffic lanes. It collided with two vehicles that were traveling westbound on the Expressway.

The Richmond Police Department and Richmond Fire Department responded to the scene, along with the State Police.

All three vehicles had a single occupant.

One driver was transported to VCU Medical Center with injuries that are not considered life threatening. One driver was able to leave the scene without significant injury, and one driver died at the scene.

Westbound lanes of the Expressway were closed for several hours as emergency crews worked the scene. Traffic was routed onto East Canal Street and allowed to return to the Expressway after passing west of the wrecks.

Eastbound traffic was limited to one lane to slow drivers down and aid in the safety of emergency workers.

The Richmond Police Department Crash Team is investigating. The identity of the person who died at the scene and the information about each vehicle involved will be released as soon as the Crash Team makes it available.
