Renegade Market Today

From email announcement:

Phal’s lovely spring rolls will return with the greens of spring. Rona’s in hibernation this week (wouldn’t you???). Byrd Farm and Faith Farm will certainly be there. A little rain, a little winter visiting before the New Year breaks. Stock up. Keep warm… with SOUP! We had butternut squash and apple soup, cream of fresh mushroom soup and beef vegetable soup – each with broth to “die” for – so soothing. Recipes and ideas needed? just ask!

Xmas Eve and Xmas Day have gone, but Hannuka (Sunset, December 20 to Sunset, December 28) and Kwanzaa (December 26 to January 1) continue. December also holds the Winter Solstice, Saint Nicholas Day (in Europe) and Los Posadas (in Mexico). Ah, all that we don’t know could fill another universe or two.

So, to take solace, why don’t we just meet up at the Renegade market this afternoon from 3pm til Sunset and celebrate the gifts yet given and the goodies yet to be enjoyed. New Year’s Eve and Day approach and we all have a lot of work to do! Let’s enjoy, share and empower each other at every opportunity.

I’m looking forward. How about you?

Recycling Wednesday

For the most part, recycling is every other Wednesday. This Wednesday is a curbside recycling pickup day.

“Recycling a ton of ‘waste’ has twice the economic impact of burying it in the ground. In addition, recycling one additional ton of waste will pay $101 more in salaries and wages, produce $275 more in goods and services, and generate $135 more in sales than disposing of it in a landfill.” – From Recycling: Good for the Economy, Good for the Environment.

Riverfront Planning Meeting On Tuesday

With James River Park leader Ralph White retiring, citizen input for riverfront planning may become even more important.

CITY OF RICHMOND Riverfront Plan

The Department of Planning and Development Review invites members of the public to attend the third Public Forum on the Richmond Riverfront Plan:

Tuesday, December 13, 2011
6:00 pm
Virginia War Memorial
621 South Belvidere

The Consultant Team from Hargreaves Associates will present a draft plan that outlines the overall design concept for Richmond’s riverfront, followed by an opportunity for public comment. The draft plan will describe public realm improvements, emphasizing pedestrian and bike connections, transportation corridors, and identification of anticipated future private development, with a prioritized plan for implementation.

The presentations from the first and second forums are available on the Department of Planning and Development Review’s webpage on the City website at www.richmondgov.com

Parking is available at the Virginia War Memorial, the adjacent Virginia Housing Development Authority, and along Second Street.

James Hill, City of Richmond

Victory Rug Up For Auction

It is with some sadness that this neighborhood small business has ended, under unfortunate circumstances.

From Tranzon Fox auction ad:

Auction: Monday, December 19, 1 p.m.,
at the Law Offices of Hirschler Fleischer
The Edgeworth Building, 2100 E. Cary St, 3rd Fl, Richmond, VA 23233

Absolute Bankruptcy Auction
17,319± sq. ft. building with adjacent lot
in Richmond’s Oregon Hill

Sells regardless of price!
Walking distance to VCU
Ideal candidate for rehab, and state and federal historic tax credits
Subject to city approval, this is the best potential multifamily conversion project in the vicinity of VCU, with views of historic Hollywood Cemetery and the skyline
Zoned R-7
407 South Cherry St.

Neighbors note that Victory Rug is not zoned multifamily, nor is it in the neighborhood’s best interest to have student apartments there.
