Perfect gift for your favorite weirdo musician!!
I came across this beautiful little restored chair and stretched rawhide over it, finished with nailheads. There is a dangling beaded trim that also makes some sound, especially when you use the special rake mallet!
I made this chair for an art show curated by local one man band, Gull at Gallery 5 this past summer. Turns out I’m a good drum maker, it sounds great! And it makes me little Bluetooth speaker also sound great, when its sitting on the rawhide. Best of all, the chair is functional! You can sit until you get inspired. Also, the reverberation of being on a concrete floor sounds great too!!
A truly unique item at a great price! 4 different mallets included!! $200 cash only. Local only. No scammers. No Bots!!
Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving holiday. Don’t forget about street cleaning this week!

Suspect Sought in Robbery on Grove Avenue
The Richmond Police Department is asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect in a robbery that occurred last week on Grove Avenue.
A few minutes after midnight on November 20, officers responded to the 2100 block of Grove Avenue in reference to a robbery. The victim reported that while walking along Rowland Street, she was approached by a man who pushed her down and attempted to take her purse. When she did not immediately let go, the suspect struck her again then took the bag.
The suspect got into an older model white sedan, which fled on Rowland Street toward Hanover Avenue. He is described as a black male in his early 20s.
Within an hour of the robbery, the suspect used the victim’s bank card at two 7-Eleven stores located at 11 West Grace St. and 122 S. Belvidere St. He was captured on surveillance video at both stores.
Anyone who has information about this person is asked to call Third Precinct Detective William Cutshall at (804) 646-1068 or Crime Stoppers at 780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
Found in street on China Street:
If it helps locate it’s owner, “Thighgrab Daerwulf” is a Tiefling and a Bard, Level 2, who carries crossbow and a lute. He speaks Orcish.
I called the number on the flyer, 703-895-2916, to see if Rico has been found yet, but no answer and the voice mailbox was full.
The Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association (OHNA) will be meeting tonight at 7 pm at St. Andrew’s Church in the Chapel. The entrance is on Laurel, right next door to the Parish House.
