From a watchful Oregon Hill neighbor:
Hi Scott,
As you can see from the attached photos, they completely removed the sandy beach in front of Tredgar that was very popular. They are also completely removing the Tredegar machinery, including the 35 ton wheel.I guess you saw the TD article today where Navy Hill also wants to tap the state sales tax. Before long they will be tapping the water rates!
Lorne Field took these beautiful photos of winter snowman camellia blooming at St. Andrew’s Church.
Used to be a beautiful, wooded, historic, public park.

Greater Richmond SCAN (Stop Child Abuse Now), in partnership with VOICES for Virginia’s Children, is pleased to announce a screening of the documentary, Resilience.
Join us on Monday, January 6th, at 6 pm at the Richmond Public Library for a screening of the powerful documentary, Resilience. This film chronicles the birth of a new movement among pediatricians, therapists, educators and communities, who are using cutting-edge brain science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and disease. The film portrays a dynamic group of individuals who are proving that cycles of disease and adversity can be broken.
The screening will be followed by a conversation on advocacy about ways to advocate for children and families this coming year.
Having premiered at some festivals, the new documentary about one of Oregon Hill’s most colorful progeny comes home- ‘Spider Mites Of Jesus’ plays at Movieland, starting January 24th.
Created by local director Jerry Williams, this film has it all- the Spring Street childhood and the over-the-top life of Donnie Corker, whose depraved antics and good-hearted gestures earned him acclaim as a beloved and outrageous Richmond icon.
A New Year’s salute to alumni of the ‘Byrd Watcher’ and community news efforts everywhere.
This is a good time to remind readers and residents that the editor of OregonHill.net is open to submissions and contributions.
