I have for sale a vintage Ross ‘Central Park’ 51cm Single-Speed Cruiser! This bike has been cleaned, lubed, oiled and tuned, and is ready to ride. It is in good vintage condition with some road wear. It features a sleek vintage look and feel, easy to use coaster brakes, a brand new seat, a kickstand, and a recent tune-up. This is a nice, smooth riding “hop on and ride” city bike…perfect for the Fan! It has about a 51cm frame, and is ideal for short to medium riders about 5’3″ to 5’7″. $90.
Belle Magazine has a feature on Lilly Lamberta and her All The Saints Theater Company, which does the puppets for the annual Halloween parade through the neighborhood.

There is a photo exhibition to support the Circle of Peace School at Art Works in downtown Richmond until the end of September. This exhibit is entitled “Images of Hope: What would you buy with $50?” and it is sponsored by Givology Spiders (a student organization at the University of Richmond whose mission is to support education in the developing world ). In addition to regular gallery hours, there will be a special reception next Friday night Friday September 24 at 6pm-10pm.

From a neighbor:
I just want to give a big shout-out to Sara Sitkiewicz, Erik Kelly, the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and other students, and sundry neighbors who made a great turn-out for Saturday’s clean-up. They did a fantastic job, not just raking out the sand but painting the shed and cleaning the toilets.
Special thanks to Sara for keeping this whole initiative going.
From RPEC announcement:
On Tuesday, September 21 the Richmond Peace Education Center (RPEC) will sponsor a public forum entitled Overcoming Richmond’s Racial Divide, featuring presentations by Dr. John Moeser, former Virginia first lady Anne Holton and Iman Shabazz. The program will be held at 7 p.m. at Fifth Baptist Church of Richmond, 1415 West Cary Street. This event is free and open to the public. The panel will examine the continuing racial inequality in our metropolitan region and its political, social and economic causes.

Hey Oregon Hill,
SynerGeo and I would like to invite you to our monthly community dinner. It’s this Monday, September 20th at 6PM. We like for our neighbors to come, share food and conversation. It’s potluck style, so we encourage everyone to bring a dish, but you won’t be turned away if you are unable to bring one.
Hope to See You There,
Mary Beth

Come celebrate 100 years of the uprising of the Mexican people against the tyranny of their government at your favorite neighborhood radical library, The Flying Brick!

Also, we’ll be showing Jen’s documentary “The Taking of the Media in Oaxaca” (33 min.), which follows the popular seizure of multiple media outlets during a the 2006 people’s struggle in Oaxaca. We’ll be accepting donations for the food to raise money for the Brick, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds! Also this is a sober event, so no booze pls! The Flying Brick is at 506 S.
