Take me back to the senior prom

If you are age 55 or older, Richmond’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities invites you to take a trip down memory lane at the 2009 Spring Senior Prom.

The prom will be held May 7 at the Landmark Theater from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Entertainment includes performers singing “old school” tunes that you are sure to remember, and you’ll have a blast dancing the night away to music from the 1950s through today.

Hors d’oeuvres will be served, and you can bring appetizers for your table.

Reservations are only $24 for a table of eight. The deadline to make reservations is April 10.

For more information or to make reservations, call 646-1999. Call today, and come May 7 you’ll be singing “come on let’s twist again” and having fun doing the electric slide!

Graffiti On Everyone’s Property

I took a walk on Belle Island this morning to try to get away from other problems and look what I find on its river rocks:

Fortunately, I have learned to separate the Grateful Dead’s music from some of its more idiotic fans, but honestly, do you really think Jerry Garcia would appreciate this lame tribute in a struggling, urban public park and natural preserve?

These people should be caught, prosecuted, and made to clean up the James RIver Park EVERY weekend for a couple of years. If they are college kids, they should be kicked out of college immediately and if they are high schools students, they should not be allowed the chance to attend college. If they are adults they should be sentenced for a couple of decades of cleaning the park.

Small Business Vandalized

For the second time in only a few weeks, the ex-Chuckwagon, ex-Hollywood Grill restaurant has tagged by graffiti vandals. The current owners, who also operate the Pescado’s seafood restaurant on the Southside, have been doing lots of work on the building in preparation for opening, including installing new windows. Sadly, those were also marred last night by the graffiti.

There have been several troubling reports of vandalism against the community in the last week, which include ripped fences and stolen signs from Hollywood Cemetery, broken bottles on sidewalks, and now this.
