In addition, as related by neighborhood association president Todd Woodson:
The following message was just received from the location manager of the Showtime TV series Homeland:
“The 2nd Street downtown exit off the Lee Bridge and S 2nd Street between S Pine and Spring St will be closed next Monday, Feb 5th from 4am until about 2pm.The bike path going underneath the Lee bridge from Oregon Hill will remain open.”
A bit cryptic with the 2nd street location between Pine and Spring but you get the gist. The show must go on!
Thanks, Todd.
‘Hidden Figures’ CodeRVA Event At Main RPL Wednesday Night
There’s another powerful movie event Wednesday at the main branch of the Richmond Public Library.
From FaceBook event page:
The Richmond Public Library, Bijou Film Center, and CodeVA are holding a very special, family-friendly celebration of Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 4-10) with a free public viewing of the acclaimed film, HIDDEN FIGURES.
Virginia, the Digital Dominion, is home to many “hidden figures” in Computer Science – both past and present. Computer Science Education Week each year also marks the birthday of Admiral Grace Hopper, a Navy officer, WWII hero, and longtime Virginia resident who invented the first computer compiler and discovered the first software “bug.” It is also home to NASA Langley, where the heroic human “computers” depicted in HIDDEN FIGURES worked to launch America ahead in the Space Race.
Come early for a special speaker panel discussing the important roles Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan played, not only in manned spaceflight, but also in helping launch modern computer science.
Worried about dinner? We have that covered! There will be pizza, popcorn and Tang!
Panel discussion starts @ 5:30PM
Movie starts @ 6:00PM
