Police Investigation On North Bank Trail, Riverside Park

This morning Richmond police converged and roped off an area on the North Bank Trail, beneath where S. Laurel ends in Riverside Park.

No information was given, but it looked like it might have been a death scene given the ambulance and numbers of investigators.

Will update as more info becomes available.

Update: Unofficial reports are that it is a death investigation but foul play is not suspected.

Trash/Recycling Pickup Tomorrow

This Wednesday is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup. Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.

If you have not done so already, don’t forget to sign up for your Recycling Perks.
In order to take your recycling to the next level, read this: 10 ways to improve your recycling.

One good way to recycle is resell your usable items. A reminder that the deadline for registering as part of the upcoming April 8 neighborhood yard sale is this Friday, March 31.

Flying Brick Library Moving To Gallery 5

From FaceBook event Flying Brick Library Housewarming:

GOOD NEWS everyone! After months,ahem, years of planning the Flying Brick Library is moving & we couldn’t be happier. After over a dozen years in a private residence in Oregon Hill we’ve decided to take the plunge & expand to a public location. We are joining forces with the fine folks at the Richmond Zine Library at Gallery 5 in Jackson Ward. Now not only can you dive into the ever growing zine collection, but now you are welcome to cozy up to the hundreds of books that the library will have on hand.
Help us celebrate, not just our new digs, but also Gallery Five’s twelve year anniversary that week. Performances by Jake Mayday & Andrew Alli will round out a very festive evening.

Thursday, April 6 at 7 PM – 10 PM
