That second goal from a giveaway was a gut punch. Good fight from the boys though. Bagpipe in the Red Army 10/10.

A screenshot of a Sanborn map from 1905, focusing two buildings that were sculptor's studios. Each building has an annotation indicating that they had skylights.

Directly in front of me is the site of Edward Valentine's sculpting studios — which are annotated on the 1905 Sanborn map. Today it's the GRTC transfer center.

That Emi goal though

Brutal. 2nd half was sad.

Amen. Their ability to locate any one showing up at the lot or terminal in less that two minutes is incredible.

Dang! Hopefully a much bigger opportunity elsewhere?

Zorch by the slice while watching a game would be heavenly.

Ooh love this

The outfall events are a huge bummer but there are positive changes in the works to mitigate them. These maps are from the CSO 2024 Final Plan – worth skimming on a torrential day like today. rvah2o.org/wp-content/u...

Special shout out to Marvin Hicks, Community Memory Fellow — he is doing some great work in the memory lab and getting deep into visualizing Richmond history. Looks like RPL has some exciting stuff upcoming. rvalibrary.org/shelf-respec...

Latoya Gray-Sparks gave an excellent (and heartbreaking) talk about Urban Renewal history in #RVA tonight. RPL Memory Lab was a great host and put together these fantastic Sanborn map displays with monopoly pieces to show homes razed for Gilpin Court, I-95, and the downtown expressway.

Boooooo

I dabbled in some local reporting last night. Moral of the story — RVA311.com is fully staffed and improving. The more folks log on and upvote requests the better it works.

I will say I'm glad the navy blue is in the new look!

Ever since the @richmondkickers.bsky.social brought out the old '90s logo in 2022 I've been toying with ideas for a new crest that brings back that OG soccer feel in a fresh way. I'm not sure I cracked the code but I wish the new crest went in this direction instead of old-timey baseball.

@richmondkickers.bsky.social I love you but this logo is a mess. It looks like an illegible monogram for RFK. Is it supposed to be evoking an old-timey baseball logo? We're an OG soccer club from the '90s.
I really wish there was some outreach to the fans about this...

Excellent to see work underway!

Wild ice falls in #RVA — at the back of the quarry loop off of the Buttermilk trail. These cliffs seem to have the perfect mix of runoff (possibly spring water?!) and no sun.

#RVA journalists shined this past week. Thanks for your hard work — keep digging!

One question I would like to get answered is how much of a difference would a full capacity reservoir have made? Did DPU forget to factor in the renovation when they noticed it was drawing down faster than expected?

⚠️ Re: dishes it's unclear if handwashing okay, or just dishwasher with sanitize setting. To be safe I'm leaning toward latter.

Noon press conference on #RVA water crisis:

• "Absolutely feel free to take quick showers"
• "Okay to wash dishes"
