Paste Magazine recently had an article on RVA music scene.
Vinyl Conflict (pictured above) is an epicenter for the city’s hardcore, punk, and metal scenes carrying records by local acts Avail, Inter Arma, and Iron Reagan, while also running a record label that puts out albums from Barge, Asylum, and Hard Stripes.
From Times Dispatch article:
A three-judge panel in Richmond on Thursday imposed a new Virginia congressional map that could give blacks a chance to elect candidates of their choice in two districts, not just one.
Unless the U.S. Supreme Court halts implementation of the new map, the reconfiguration will lower the black voting age population in the 3rd District, represented by Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, a Democrat, from 56.3 percent to 45.3 percent.
It looks like this will most likely move Oregon Hill from the 3rd District into the 4th District, represented by Rep. J. Randy Forbes, a Republican.
From email announcement:
On Sunday, January 10 at 5:00 pm, St. Andrew’s will hold its annual celebration of Epiphany Lessons and Carols with a reception following. Child care is available.
The St. Andrew’s Choristers will be joined by special guests from area congregations to sing anthems and carols, both old and new. All are invited for this evening of stunning music and sacred story.
Check out this video about our service of Epiphany Lessons and Carols service on FaceBook or our website. Feel free to share with others.
Dear President Rao,
I read with interest in today’s Richmond Times Dispatch that VCU has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a Cuban university. As your neighboring Oregon Hill representative on VCU’s Community Advisory Board, I congratulate you on this effort but I question why VCU is able to work out a Memorandum of Understanding with a Cuban university but unable to work on a MOU with your neighbors in Oregon Hill.
Your neighbors in Oregon Hill have repeatedly requested a written agreement approved by the VCU Board of Visitors stating that VCU will honor West Cary Street as the border between the Oregon Hill Historic District and VCU. We need a MOU that VCU or its foundations will not purchase property south of Cary Street within the Oregon Hill Historic District. This is of particular importance now that VCU is purchasing property outside the boundaries of its Master Plan, without consulting with the community.
Please let us know when you would agree to meet with representatives of the Oregon Hill neighborhood in order to produce such a Memorandum of Understanding. I believe that your neighbors deserve the same regard as a university in Cuba.
Sincerely,
Scott Burger
This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup.
Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.
If you have not done so already, don’t forget to sign up for your Recycling Perks.
In order to take your recycling to the next level, read this: 10 ways to improve your recycling. There was a recent Richmond.com column on local recycling.
Don’t forget about Richmond’s Clean City Commission Recycle Event this Saturday. Christmas trees, shredding, electronics, the small recycling bins that were in use before the carts….
Anyone lose part of the grill on the front of their Cadillac? I found this piece in an alley, clearly abandoned.
