From the Times Dispatch review:
L’Opossum, with its flamboyance and gumption, is helping to shake up this town’s already vibrant restaurant scene. Shannon is reinventing food, hospitality and ambience with his own special wit and panache.
From start to finish, L’Opossum is a dining experience fit for the food-curious.
The Times Dispatch has a write-up on the “Oregon Hill Christmas House”:
Marc Leslie and Liz Kolonay have the tackiest house on their block. In fact, they have the tackiest house in Oregon Hill.
“It’s just a mismatch of lights and blow molds, and nothing is symmetrical,” Kolonay says. “Our only rule is: nothing parallel. It’s gaudy, … but it’s mesmerizing.”
Every inch of their tiny Oregon Hill yard is stuffed with items, such as a Santa, baby Jesus or the world’s ugliest little angel (at least, that’s how Kolonay describes it). It’s the kind of house that you need to stand in front of and stare at for a while.

From an interesting history blogpost about November 26, 1910:
At about 3p.m., John Moisant took off from the Fair Grounds in his Blériot monoplane. He circled the city, even flying over the Virginia State Penitentiary at the request of the Richmond Times-Dispatch to entertain the 1,200 inmates inside. Many other spectators gathered on Oregon Hill to watch the “Man-Bird” in action overhead.

Got family in town for the holidays? Bring them to Hollywood for a tour this weekend!
This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night. They do not belong on the sidewalk after tomorrow night. Please also keep in mind that the City is supposed to be doing leaf removal and street cleaning this week.

Companies said they pursued sustainable manufacturing efforts largely because of customer demand. The media attention and awards these companies garnered for their sustainable manufacturing efforts, in turn, helped build consumer trust and brand loyalty.
Companies surveyed gained more than consumer loyalty. Many reported saving money and using fewer resources through physical waste, water, energy and sustainable manufacturing initiatives.
The district will host three community engagement meetings to allow the public to share their views regarding the proposed options for the future of Binford Middle School.
