Getting Ready For The Next 120 Years…
From St. Andrew’s School FaceBook page:
The stunning Star of Bethlehem has been safely rewired and the ceiling above it repaired. It now shines continuously above the stage in Baldwin Hall. Floors are being stripped down to the original wood, air conditioning is installed in Baldwin Hall – for the first time EVER! Old tile floors are being stripped, an old entrance is being opened up and made grand again and new offices are being created from old spaces. The central stairway is the last part to have the plaster renewed and on the exterior, every nook and cranny is being repaired and protected from water. We’re almost ready for The Next 120 Years.

New Recycling Cans
As forewarned, the new recycling containers were delivered in the neighborhood on August 10. It looks like a lot of residents are still figuring out what to do with them. Ideally, they are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. However, some Oregon Hill houses do not have alley access, and some of those do not even have easy access to their back yards. Residents should try to do the best they can to adapt. Ultimately, the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA) is responsible for the roll out of the new recycling program and can answer questions. The hope is that these new recycling cans will encourage more recycling and reduce clutter and spillovers on front sidewalks. Don’t forget to sign up for “Recycling Perks”.
