Triple Crossing at Tredegar – Riverfront Beer Garden Saturday

Posted on June 28, 2018 by Scott

So you sold all your earthly belongings at the community yard sale in Pleasant’s Park, and you are hot, thirsty, and need a place to spend all that money…maybe you should wander down the hill…

Paraphrased from the FaceBook event page:

Saturday from 12-8PM Tredegar will be doing a reverse rain dance for their first riverfront beer garden, Triple Crossing at Tredegar. We will have a our beers on draft (whispers of a Tredegar first release of a Double Waxing Variant are floating around), multiple food trucks, a couple DJs, beautiful setting and a laid back time.

Dogs are allowed.

Here is a nice overhead look of the Tredegar patio where the Beer Garden will take place:

Neighborhood Cleanup This Saturday

Posted on June 13, 2018 by Scott

From City Council liaison extraordinaire Amy Robins:

Hi folks! The Oregon Hill 5th District cleanup is THIS Saturday, June 16.
I drove a decent number of your alleys this morning and do not feel there is actually enough to warrant a truck. It appears (minus the storm delays) that the every two week bulk pick up program is working. Additional alley cleanups have been scheduled for the big August 1 move out to make sure your alley aren’t trashed. I know we all vwant to make sure we are using our tax dollars wisely.
This cleanup will be focused on street litter and graffiti removal off public property. We are happy to do private property but the property owner needs to provide the paint and sign this waiver:

AND call me before Friday so I can add it to the TO DO LIST. 804-646-5724
