Street Cleaning This Week
Move those cars….

Going West…
Other neighbors beat me to this, but many are enjoying the novelty of turning west off S. Cherry onto Idlewood now that it is two-way again and with the new Idlewood Roundabout(!):

I invites others to suggest a soundtrack for the video, but click here for my favorite.
And just to give a complete experience, here is another video coming off the Expressway:

It’s something we have waited many years for, so please excuse the giddiness.
Thanks to all the people who made this happen, past and present officials, most notably, Councilperson Parker Agelasto.
In the meantime the City sent out this press release:

Holly Street Playground and Ravine
In response to recent concerns, it look like Holly Street Playground area will be receiving more attention. Incoming Oregon Hill Neigborhood Association (OHNA) President Todd Woodson has requested a structural assessment from the City on the embankment that supports the playground. He is interested in the possibility of making this area, which is sort of an extension of S. Cherry St, more of a public walking trail than just a utility alley. Other neighbors have suggestions that include repaving the basketball court and establishing a tool lending program. These ideas will probably be discussed at the upcoming OHNA meeting next Tuesday.
This is the 1867 Michie Map showing the ravine that was filled in to make Holly Street playground. Thanks to neighbor Charles Pool for this…

Found Dog
No owner found and the dog is not microchipped. She is currently at RACC if anyone wants to claim her.

Cherry Street Alley Sunrise
Beautiful morning. Rain coming Sunday evening.

Hazmat At Cary Street Gym
Pool problems at VCU’s Cary Street Gym have lead to a scene with the Virginia Commonwealth University police and Richmond firefighters, including a hazmat crew.
The facility has been closed down while they figure out what is going on.
From the Times Dispatch article:
The gym was evacuated as a precaution, said Richmond Fire Battalion Chief Christine Richardson, adding that at this time they don’t believe there’s any immediate risk to anyone in the area.
