A neighbor took this photo yesterday evening. The City has been doing repaving and maintenance work on Main and Franklin streets and the theory is that this is the reason for the extra traffic.

It’s Back: VCU Marks Territory
The sign is back.
From neighbor Todd Woodson:
Sad to report, as of Monday, nov 4, 2013, VCU has reinstalled this huge way faring sign at w main and Belvidere, obstructing sight lines through Richmonds oldest and most historic city park. This arrogant move serves as a prelude to the proposed turnover of this beautiful sylvan asset, which belongs to the citizenry of Richmond. Please contact your city council representative if you disapprove.

Creepy Fingers Fuzzbud for Sale
From Craigslist ad:
Creepy Fingers Fuzzbud, beastly little fuzz pedal. Super, super sensitive to input volume, huge sound, great texture. Made by one of the dudes from Fu Manchu. Velcro on the bottom, great condition. Only selling because it doesn’t quite fit my current needs and I have other gear to pay for. $150 or would trade (+ cash / more gear) towards the right 50 watt tube head or 4×12 cab. Thanks!
Paint The Town Green Fall 2013
I mentioned PTTG earlier, but more from a neighbor about this event WHICH HAPPENS SATURDAY:
I like that it is scheduled for “after” Halloween! I can’t participate this time but have really enjoyed it in the past.
It starts Saturday morning with free coffee/light breakfast about 8:30 in Monroe Park before breaking into different neighborhoods groups. Expect to see them about 9 ish in the community – for a couple of hours. Come on out and join them – at least come out and interact with them as they pass thru.
I’m not sure if they will be using Pleasants Park again as the trash drop off / city pick up point this time – but it seemed to work out well in the past.
I can only volunteer for a little while myself, but I hope there is a good mix of students and neighbors.
