From VCU officials:

Greetings,

Please find attached a flier to VCU’s neighbors from the VCU’s Student Commons and Activities. I appreciate your sharing this information with residents.

As you will see, the Monday event at the Cary Street Field (Student Playfair) is from 8-10:30. I inquired about specifics and was told that the event is a huge icebreaker for incoming freshmen to meet other students. It will likely be over closer to 9:30. There will be someone on a microphone and music will be played intermittently. I have been told that any sound associated with all three events will be directed away from residential areas.

If you have any questions leading up to the events, there is an email address and contact number on the flier. VCU Police will be on hand. As a reminder, their non-emergency number is 828-1196.

Finally, we look forward to the community joining VCU on Saturday, August 23 for First Ram Saturday: Food Truck A Palooza!

Thank you.

Rash of Graffiti

From a neighbor:

There was a rash of graffiti around the neighborhood Sunday night. It was found at 710 Holly, corner of China/Cherry, Mamma Zu, and the corner of China/Pine. One of the neighbors filed a police report and the sheriff’s deputy was around taking pictures.
