From the Grace Arents Facebook page (now what would she think of social media?):
Get ready for Virginia Garden Week – John Wise, one of our favorite garden Gurus and a BHM vendor will be at the Main Branch of the Richmond Public Library on Wed. April 13 at noon for a talk about the history of landscape plants in Richmond. It is a free talk and open to the public. Come and ask John garden questions, his knowledge about woody plants is encyclopedic/wikipedic!
Here’s a photo from the “Hoopstown Celebration” Downtown at the James Center this afternoon. Mayor Jones spoke and once again congratulated the Spiders and Rams for their March Madness.
Mayor Jones’ office has confirmed that he and other City staff, including members of Public Works, Richmond Police Department, and Community Development, will be conducting a ‘walk-through’ of the Oregon Hill neighborhood tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday).
One of the main purposes of this event is to give residents a chance to meet first-hand with the Mayor and provide valuable feedback on City services and neighborhood needs.
The walk though will start at 4:30 pm at the William Byrd Community House on Cherry Street. Weather permitting, the group will then walk to different parts of the neighborhood.
(Personally, I encourage residents to attend and to bring written or printed documents to share with City staff in order to have an effective meeting.)
On Thursday, Kathy Kelly, a coordinator for the Voices for Creative Nonviolence campaign, will be appearing at the Fifth Baptist Church on W. Cary Street at 7 pm.

From Craigslist ad:
Sassafrass got out the evening on April 4th when I was not home, she has long brown and black fur, and a very fluffy tail. She has no id tags but is wearing a hot pink rhinestone collar and a flea collar. She is very sweet and a strictly indoor cat, she has never gotten out before. PLEASE return her! She is missed very much. She lives on the 300 block of S Pine street.
This Saturday is the 2011 VCU Intercultural Festival.
Please plan ahead. Red Wednesday is this Wednesday.
