The 1-year-old nonprofit works with homeowners, businesses and organizations to “encourage high-quality community development and strengthen Richmond’s urban neighborhoods by providing access to design and planning resources.”
Giles Harnsberger, manager of Storefront for Community Design, explains that there’ll be no stops. “We’ll keep rolling to go by the 22 sites that Storefront has worked on.”She explains that Storefront is a workshop where anything goes. “It’s a place where people can come and work with a designer on a whole range of projects, which is what we’re showing with this tour.” Some of the projects are completed, while others are in the planning pipeline.
Some examples are the Wiliam Byrd Community House in Oregon Hill, where Storefront is assisting their plan for a nutrition center and a kitchen learning center.
From email:
As I mentioned last night at the OHNA meeting, from 2002 until Marty Jewell was elected, over 400 street trees were planted in Oregon Hill. Despite humble requests to our councilperson for budget consideration to continue this progress, all communication was ignored so only trees planted were by privateers during that period.
We have a chance to make a new start in this area with no money needed, only volunteer labor. Although trees will be small, with care they will grow to provide us with many benefits as urban dwellers.
I have included the schedule and details below for a tree giveaway sponsored (ed.- I have edited out for this post, we don’t need competition for the trees!)
In order for us to make the most of this opportunity, a 5 step volunteer process is necessary and you are very welcome to help out in one or all of these areas as follows:
1. Identification of empty prospective tree well sites. If you need a tree near your house or would care to inventory our tree stock and come up with suggestions, that would be great and report back would need to be done in the next 2 weeks or so.
2. Preparation of identified tree wells. Unfortunately since we dont have a stump grinder, only clean, non stumped sites will work (unless you want to rent a grinder). It is necessary to dig up and loosen dirt in the wells BEFORE HAND so everything will go smoothly for the planting. This is the hardest part (but not that hard).
3. Pick up of trees at site. We need a good idea how many we need and what types of trees. 10 allowed per person and we need to get there early.
4. PLANTING. Oh the joy! Kids especially welcome! Supervision by tree stewards available.
5. AND MOST IMPORTANT! We need volunteers to adopt the baby trees and water them during the dry times. They should get 15 gallons a week during the dry months and this is essential to their survival for the first couple years. They will pay you back with MANY benefits!
If you can help, please email me, Todd, at
or call and leave a message at 783-8829 giving me your name and contact info. We will have 1 or 2 short organizational meetings along the way and I will keep you advised on this group and hopefully on the blogsite. Time is tight! Todd.
It’s the fourth Tuesday of the month, which means the Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association meets tonight at 7 pm at the William Byrd Community House.

Hi, I am selling my Kawaii Digital Piano 2000. It is a great 88 key digital piano with weighted action. It includes a few piano, electric piano, vibraphone, and harpsichord sounds. It also has built in reverb and tremolo. The piano has 100w speakers built in to the stand that sound great, as well as L and R outputs, and a headphone output. It also has midi outputs. The stand has a sustain and soft pedal built in as well. The piano is heavy and needs two people to move it. I can help load it into a truck or van. I am asking $450 OBO. Email if interested I have more picture too I can send, thanks for looking.
p.s. here is a link to a digital copy of the manual. http://www.kawaius-tsd.com/OM/DIGITAL/P2000%20(English).pdf

From Richmond BizSense:
Virginia Commonwealth University introduced Zipcar in 2010. Miriam Maddux of VCU’s Parking and Transportation department, said the cars have been on a roll.
In 2011, 219 students signed up for Zipcar, and now the school has 359 members. VCU’s fleet consists of a Ford Focus, Scion XB, a Toyota Prius and a Honda Insight.
Maddux said the cars were reserved for about 724 hours each month last year.
VCU has almost 3,000 Zimride members.Even with more than 7,000 students applying for parking permits last year, Maddux said the school is still pushing the car-sharing services hard.
“We strongly encourage students to use alternative transportation, such as Zipcar and Zimride, for trips off-campus,” she said.
