Belle Isle Cleanup This Sunday

Posted on by

RVA Clean Sweep is scheduled to work on Belle Isle this Sunday:

Belle Isle is in desperate need of a cleanup, this is the time of the year when the highest number of visitors are out and unfortunately they leave a huge mess. We’ll clean the parking area and then do a loop over to the rocks and back around. It shouldn’t take more than 2 hours at the most. I’ll have trash pickers, gloves and trash bags, please bring water and good walking shoes.

Please go here to sign up to volunteer:

The Belle Isle parking lot on Tredegar Street was completely full yesterday evening and it’s no wonder with accolades still pouring in- outdoor sports store REI has named the James River Parks as one of the nation’s six best river parks. This comes three years after Outside Magazine readers voted Richmond as the Best River City in the country. Richmond will again be featured as a travel destination in the September issue of National Geographic Traveler. Their brief feature “Where to go Next” highlights L’Opossum and the James River Park.

Congratulations To Salvation Tattoo, Mammu Zu, and L’Opposum

Style magazine‘s annual ‘Best of Richmond’ issue is out this week, and in it is a recommendation for Salvation Tattoo Gallery (on W. Cary Street) as “Readers’ Choice” for the area’s “Best Tattoo Parlor”.

In almost 11 years of operation, husband-and-wife team Katie Davis and Fred Pinckard have become known as much for their bod style as their reputation for consistent work. The couple now works with there additional artists who play off each others’ strengths. David adds that their manager, Philip Armstrong, makes a point to remember every client’s name. “You’re going to have something on you permanently,” Davis says, “and you’re going to remember where you were and what the feeling was like when you got that done.”

Mamma Zu (corner of Spring and S. Pine) also received mention as the “Reader’s Choice” for the “Best Italian Restaurant” (though Style could not resist adding a snooty comment about its Oregon Hill locale), while L’Opposum (corner of China and S. Pine) has a small article on its “Most Entertaining Interior”.
