Neighbors are monitoring the current rain and Hurricane Joaquin. At the same time, they are remembering past storms-
Hurricane Irene played havoc with some roofs-
I would really like to get some more photos of older storms, like Hurricane Camille..(click here for post).
Tropical Storm Gaston may have had some of the most dramatic damage-
But the story of the neighbor who tried to drive his car over the fallen tree during Hurricane Isabel always seems to jog memories-

Folks,
As the aircraft buzz overhead, you may or may not be aware that there has been some debate and controversy regarding the lack of crowds for the Richmond 2015 UCI bike race.
Without getting too far into it, let me just say that while I have been very critical of City projects and chasing tourist dollars, you notice that I have not taken aim at Richmond2015 as much because I am hoping it will lead to better bicycle infrastuctrure and culture in the long term.
Regardless, now is a good time to get out there and enjoy this international event.
Neighborhood restaurant Dinamo has a big welcome:

Also, neighbor Holt Edmunds asked me to make sure people know about this freebie Thursday night, which is for anyone volunteering for the races or biking to the Poe Museum.
He volunteers at the museum and says the bike race has hurt visitation (a bit counter-intuitive). He hopes fellow Oregon Hill residents might want to take advantage of this.
Thanks,
Scott
Please feel free to visit and learn more about the new hostel during the Richmond UCI bike race.
From email:
OHNA (ed.- Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association) will be unable to meet at WBCH for the foreseeable future, due to the fact that WBCH no longer has the staff available to open the building in the evenings.
Our next OHNA meeting will be held at the Pine Street Baptist Church at the corner of Pine and Albemarle at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 22nd. Enter the building at the door on Albemarle Street. Take the first hallway on the left to the meeting room.
Thanks
Jennifer
Pine Street neighbor Stephenie Harrington has UCI fever and has decorated her house in celebration:

From Main Street librarian Patty Parks:
We are creating a “Welcome the World” banner pop-up event at the Main Library on [FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18 ] from 9-4 at 101 E. Franklin Street and 2nd Street.
Although the Main Library will be closed during the Richmond Bike2015, our spirit is with the race, the city and the world that will be watching our spectacular event.
To be proactive and to show our solidarity with the city and race, we would like to accessorize our 2nd Street wall (stretching almost the whole block from Main to Franklin) with banners from organizations that are not on the race course. The bicyclists will be taking this 2nd Street route from Main to Broad, and this will give everyone an opportunity to welcome our visitors and show off our community support.
If you would like to put a banner up on our wall, we will be attaching them on Friday, September 19th. Join us! We will attach your banner with double-sided tape; you can remove it on Monday, Sept. 28.
Let’s make this a Welcome Wall to mark this epic event.
Join up and find out more on the FaceBook event page.

What is for Supper?
I just learned about a cookbook project called Cheap and Good by Leanne Brown. You can download the cookbook as a free PDF: Click Here. Designed to show you that you can eat well on $4.00 per day, there are recipes from Breakfast toI think my favorite section so far is “Things on Toast”! Like Tomato Scrambled Eggs or Irish Rare Bit (melted sharp cheddar cheese with dill pickle chunks)
What a range! How simple! It’s all about the flavor! http://www.leannebrown.com/
