“Nobody is ever harmed by any snake on the urban James”
The quote came from a James River News Hub post. The picture is from the North Bank Trail last week (see snake across the trail?):

Attempted Burglary At 821 Cafe
Look like more of the same for 821 Cafe, which is a shame, given the great business they are doing.
From this morning’s police report:
4th Precinct
BURGLARY ATTEMPT (COMMERCIAL)
5/8/11– 5/9/11 11:30 p.m. – 7:00 a.m.

Unknown persons tried to break into the walk-in coolers behind the 821 Café.
They deserve more support, especially as the student crowd lessens for summer vacation.
Fire in Parson’s Row
I heard from a friend that a fire had broken out in one of the Parson’s Row condominiums. For those who are not familiar, these condos were built behind the Parson House, as part of a highly touted preservation project.
This morning I went over there to survey the damage. It looks like it was in the back of the 605-H unit. The front looks ok, but the back of the residence that faces Belvidere Street does not.
The unconfirmed rumor on the street is that this was caused by a careless cigarette. If true, this is disturbing given other fires in the neighborhood. If you need even more reasons to quit smoking, I can offer a few.
