From WRIC:

A former teacher at several area schools will live on through the Little Free Library at St. Andrew’s School.

A ceremony on Tuesday, May 24 dedicated it to Elizabeth (Betty) Chambers George.

George taught at schools including Mary Mumford and Binford Middle. She died at the age of 95, leaving a legacy of her love of reading as well as money earmarked for literacy causes.

Members of the Richmond Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi, of which George was a member, donated the Little Free Library.

St. Andrew’s School is an independent elementary school in Richmond’s Oregon Hill neighborhood. It was founded by Richmond philanthropist and social reformer Grace Arents in 1894, specifically for families with low incomes.

Best Italian

Congratulations to Oregon Hill neighbor Ed Vasai. Two of his restaurants, Edo’s Squid and Mamma Zu’s (which is in Oregon Hill), were at the top of the Best Italian Restaurant category in Style Magazine’s annual Best of Richmond issue.

Says Style:

Both Edo’s Squid and Mamma ‘Zu are owned by Ed Vasaio, and you could say that the restaurants are two sides of the same coin. Edo’s is the natty modern younger brother, while Mamma ‘Zu isn’t comfortable out of its jeans and flannel shirt.
