626 China St. Becoming L’OPOSSUM Restaurant

According to a Richmond.com article, local chef David Shannon has bought the former Chuckwagon/Hollywood Grill/Pescados China Street/EAT Oregon Hill building.

He is planning to open it as a new restaurant under the name L’OPOSSUM. He also says it will not be French cuisine but has not decided on the final concept for the new enterprise.

SHannon graduated from the New England Culinary Institute. His resume includes stints at Helen’s and the Inn at Little Washington. He also owned and ran the Dogwood Grille in the Fan for four years before it closed.

Trash/Recycling Pickup Tomorrow (Maybe)

This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. But don’t be surprised if there is a delay in pickup due to the recent weather. Regardless, please make sure you pick up containers after pickup. They do not belong on the sidewalk after pickup.

VCU, University of Richmond, and other schools are currently competing in RecycleMania 2014.

There was a very interesting discussion about City recycling at a recent City Council Finance Committee meeting about the possibility of going to 96 gallon recycling containers in the future.
