There have been a few complaints about some incidents this past weekend, this being one of them:
This week, there is an article in the VCU Commonwealth Times, where VCU Police Chief Venuti is quoted,
“A lot of times, people exiting a party will draw out attention. Even if you are registered, if people are leaving, (ed. note: emphasis added by me) smashing things, fighting or peeing all over the place, we come into the picture,” Venuti said.
This coming First Friday, Nov. 2, the Richmond Main Library will feature a screening of the mini-documentary “The Persistence of Poe”, which is about “Edgar Allan Poe’s lesser-known life in and cultural impact upon the old and mysterious Richmond, Virginia”. I am not clear about what time that will happen, 7 or 8 pm , or maybe both.
This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night. They do not belong on the sidewalk after tomorrow night (Let’s keep sidewalks clear for trick-or-treaters and the Halloween Parade).
Don’t forget about VCU’s Paint The Town Green on Saturday. Paint the Town Green is “a collaborative neighborhood clean-up between the VCU Monroe Park campus and its surrounding neighborhoods, including The Fan, Jackson Ward, Carver, Mosby Court, Randolph and Oregon Hill.” Hope to have more details on that soon.

From the American Civil War Center website:
Spirit rapping, ghostly instruments, and other attempts at communion with the dead were once common occurrences in American parlors.
People from every social strata attended séances where mediums purported to be in contact with departed spirits. During the Civil War thousands desperate to contact fallen loved ones enlisted the aid of a medium. What would they have experienced at one of these sittings?
Find out at Historic Tredegar when we present a historically accurate séance inspired by the Spiritualist movement.
Join us October 28th – November 1st for this mysterious evening’s entertainment. Our story centers on Mr. and Mrs. Nelson as they seek to communicate to their son who lost his life during the Civil War.
