The 821 Cafe on W. Cary Street is closed on Mondays.

Tech Exchange is closed on Mondays also. If the country ever does go to a smaller work week like some have suggested- will Mondays become a non-working day?

Hives seem to be doing ok.

Bear Wanders Through Tredegar and Downtown



A young bear decided to visit downtown Richmond yesterday, playfully running across fields down at Tredegar.

Thankfully, Richmond Animal Care and Control, the Richmond Police, and Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries were able to sedate and capture him so that he was not injured. He will be relocated to another setting after evaluating.

RACC said it ended up naming the bear Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Now, hopefully, the next call RACC gets isn’t about a lion or tiger.

Oregon Hill Loves Cats

(Editor’s note: I can’t keep up with all the lost/found/concerned cat posts on the neighborhood Facebook group, but if a cat has been missing for an extended period, I am happy to post something here. Please be aware of how many birds outdoor cats kill- it is surprisingly significant. Also, while the science is studying coronavirus pets, they don’t believe that pets are a big concern- that said, wash your hands after any interactions anyway.)
