The Invisible Philanthropist in Richmond Magazine
There’s been other posts about Grace Arents, but its still great to see Harry Kollatz Jr.’s recent column in Richmond Magazine.
I like the title: “The Invisible Philanthropist: Grace Arents, a shy heiress, transformed her city”.

Graffiti On Everyone’s Property
I took a walk on Belle Island this morning to try to get away from other problems and look what I find on its river rocks:
Fortunately, I have learned to separate the Grateful Dead’s music from some of its more idiotic fans, but honestly, do you really think Jerry Garcia would appreciate this lame tribute in a struggling, urban public park and natural preserve?
These people should be caught, prosecuted, and made to clean up the James RIver Park EVERY weekend for a couple of years. If they are college kids, they should be kicked out of college immediately and if they are high schools students, they should not be allowed the chance to attend college. If they are adults they should be sentenced for a couple of decades of cleaning the park.
Small Business Vandalized
For the second time in only a few weeks, the ex-Chuckwagon, ex-Hollywood Grill restaurant has tagged by graffiti vandals. The current owners, who also operate the Pescado’s seafood restaurant on the Southside, have been doing lots of work on the building in preparation for opening, including installing new windows. Sadly, those were also marred last night by the graffiti.
There have been several troubling reports of vandalism against the community in the last week, which include ripped fences and stolen signs from Hollywood Cemetery, broken bottles on sidewalks, and now this.
Metal Roof Saves Money for Grandma
Actually, this story is from Texas.
I know some neighbors who have replaced their old asphalt or metal roofs with rubber. I would be interested in comparing notes on roof materials for Oregon Hill.
