I called the number on the flyer, 703-895-2916, to see if Rico has been found yet, but no answer and the voice mailbox was full.
OHNA Meeting Tonight
The Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association (OHNA) will be meeting tonight at 7 pm at St. Andrew’s Church in the Chapel. The entrance is on Laurel, right next door to the Parish House.
Blunt Died At 4:20
James Blunt, Sr. died on this day in 1922 at 226 S. Cherry Street. From the Times Dispatch for Nov. 14 of that year:
Dumb drug humor aside (and I mean no disrespect to Mr. Blunt or his descendants), a lot of Oregon Hill residents enjoy learning the history of their houses, including what ghosts may be present.
Whooo!
