From the FaceBook event page:

From announcement:
Final Movie Night in Pleasants Park for the year. Join us for a viewing of the classic, The Goonies. The movie begins at 7:00 pm. Free refreshments served: grilled hotdogs, sides, dessert, and beverages.
Take some time to put your feet in the river!
Possible thunderstorm tomorrow with cooler weather ahead.
*** An hour or so before any rain hits, make a point of going outside your residence and picking up litter and trash, including sidewalk and street. As a riverfront neighborhood, we have a special responsibility for keeping pollution out of the river. ***
This Wednesday is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup.
Please go over what can be recycled. Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.
If it seems like pickup did not happen, use this online form:

Also, its worth mentioning that there is an Oregon Hill neighborhood-wide yard sale in the works for September 24th & 25th- a great way to recycle!

CVWMA reminds everyone to be careful with batteries. Earlier this summer, a truck operated by a CVWMA contractor recently caught fire due to lithium-ion batteries someone threw in their household trash. Fortunately, the driver acted quickly, and no one was hurt. Never place batteries in regular residential or drop-off recycling containers! For more information, click here.

As with Dave Brockie, Donnie Corker, and Dika Newlin, Richmond is seeing some of its more interesting ‘outsider artists’ pass away. Freed’s illustrations and music certainly captured some of the ‘abandoned’ and haunted vibe of late 80’s/early 90’s Richmond (and especially Oregon Hill). He contributed greatly to Throttle Magazine and so much other local media.
Hopefully he is reunited with his dear wife, Jyl, who preceded him in death.
Jim Bland, of Plan 8 Music, posted some of his artwork, past and recent press in remembrance.

From WRIC television news report:
Richmond police responded to a reported shooting on the 200 block of South Laurel Street, three blocks from Monroe Park, just after 8 pm.
According to a Richmond police officer, two young men were hit by an unknown assailant who fired from a vehicle, “A car drove by, cracked off a couple of rounds.”
According to other reports, the drive-by shooting was related to an altercation at a near by college student party. Two young men suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Oregon Hill residents are greatly disturbed and upset by this incident.

In recycling news… a Virginia Tech researcher has developed a new method to recycle polystyrene, a major component of Styrofoam.
Also, its worth mentioning that there is an Oregon Hill neighborhood-wide yard sale in the works for September 24th & 25th- a great way to recycle!
Hopefully, these and other neighborhood flora are keeping the bees happy…
