This photo is from yesterday morning when Open High School kids were helping unload boxes of navel oranges from truck on Pine Street.
By the way, the December 8th meeting of the Open High PTSA is cancelled, however they will meet in January.
At points earlier today, the Oregon Hill neighborhood experienced gridlock traffic due to visitors and detours from the Richmond Marathon. Both Cherry and Pine streets were backed up several blocks.
Pine Street neighbor Stephenie Harrington has UCI fever and has decorated her house in celebration:
More than 4,000 freshman will be arriving at VCU this weekend. To accommodate the moving process, there will be changes to traffic patterns around Monroe Park campus until 7:00 pm on Saturday, August 15. VCU Police will be handling traffic control.

Also, some neighbors are planning something even bigger for later this month:
City workers have added new street signs to Oregon Hill Parkway’s descent to 2nd Street. I am guessing the ‘yield’ sign at the bottom of the ramp is for bicyclists (who are allowed to go down the street that way). Perhaps there should be ‘No Parking’ signs added?
A cobblestone alley entranceway on the 500 block of S. Pine Street is getting worked on.
A mural has been added on the 600 block of Idlewood, as part of the 2015 Richmond Mural Project. However, this piece, signed by “Jerkface”, looks like it has not been completed yet.
A Pine Street neighbor took this photo yesterday:
