It looks like more sewer work on S. Laurel Street will temporarily effect water service this week for some residents on the 600 block.

From this photo outside on Linden Street, it looks like a worker in the VCU Cary Street Student Recreational Center has a longstanding joke going on in an office area where a plastic toy snake is perched on a windowsill.

Flyer at W.Cary and Linden:

I missed the peaceful march yesterday that started in Monroe Park, but the editor of this community news site would like to express his support. In a small way, I hope this helps with forgiveness for past neighborhood transgressions.
Update: Percy has been found!

Fischer noted the irony of him performing on a track called “Southside” when he’s actually from Oregon Hill, just north of the River. But for the second rapper on the track, he thinks it helps because it sticks with the track’s theme of changes in someone’s life or even within the next 24 hours.
“It’s one of those mood setting song when you’re moving to the next phase of your day and you’re just cruising,” Fischer said. “This is a type of song people are going to play.”
This song launches off at a good tempo and keeps the “vibes” solid as Chance and Deron glide over a distorted orchestral beat.
